The Breakfast Club

I had the most wonderful morning on Wednesday! The girls made me breakfast and a BEAUTIFUL card! The night before Quinn and Gabbie started asking me cryptic questions about my favorite breakfast foods. The next morning, Quinn was out of bed before I got in the shower. (which is unheard of in our house). Gabbie wasn't as eager and would not get out of bed when Randy tried to wake her. I tried to wake her before I went downstairs but she wouldn't have anything to do with it.

So, I go down stairs, and there on the table was a place mat (paper towel), bowl of cereal, bagel with jelly and a card they both made that said Thank you Mom! We just wanted to say Thank You and We love you!!

I started to cry! It was so sweet. Randy told me it was all Quinn's idea, but Gabbie wanted to have a part in it too, so Quinn let Gabbie help make the card and told her she could get up early to help make breakfast.

So, of course, Gabbie was soooo angry she didn't get up. And, of course, she was angry at everyone else for not being able to wake her up. She was not very pleasant, but after much conjoling, she dropped the attitude and joined Quinn and I for breakfast together.

Quinn read me the Smucker's jelly jar label during breakfast. She asked me if I knew that they had been making jelly since 1869. "No, I didn't know that," I answered. "Yeah, they did. So does that meand Pop Pop didn't have jelly when he was little?"

Then we finished watching "Arthur," where they were discussing that Pluto is no longer a planet. It seems that Astrologers have found what they believe to be another planet farther away then Pluto and bigger then Pluto. "Oh, I know about this planet, Mom!" Quinn yelled. "You do?" I asked. "Yeah, its planet Uterus."

Huh, Planet Uterus. I've been there.

Trick or Treat

I hope everyone had a very happy and scary Halloween!!! On the positive side, the we had a great Halloween week. On Wednesday, we carved pumpkins with a friend of Quinn's from school. We got "Boo'd" twice in one night, so we had four bags of goodies we had to distribute on Thursday. Gabbie and I got Sarah's house and the Stanfield's next door. Randy and Quinn got Sammy and Paige's house. Most of them were at the parade in town, but Randy and Quinn really fooled Nana-re! Then, last night, we went trick or treating with Dyllon and Reed. It was a lot of fun to spend time with Meg and Mike & the kids. The whole neighborhood was out and about.
On the bad side, I bought way too much candy so now I have a full bag from BJs that we haven't even opened. Of course, it is filled with all of my favorites. That sucks.
Now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and seeing Michele, Justin, Maggie, Casey & Indie!!! We can't wait!!
