Our first family tradition went off with a bang! We took Sean to Burger Farm (No, they do not grow hamburgers!) and he seemed to enjoy himself, so much in fact that he fell asleep on the hayride before he was able to pick out his pumpkin!
Sean saw his first puppet show, got a balloon animal (a mouse) from a clown, etc.
Above is my goofy painted pumpkin! These days I prefer to paint my pumpkins rather than carve them. I can be more creative and keep it cleaner and safer, which is good when you have a kid that will one day want to paint their own pumpkin. I am much more likely to give him a paintbrush rather than a knife!
I/We have yet to paint Sean’s pumpkin. I think I might actually have him do some brush strokes himself or even put some hand prints on it. We’ll have to see!
So, Sean, fell asleep on the 10 minute hayride to the pumpkin patch. Above is the result!
On another note. I have to explain an irritation that occurred exactly at midnight last night. I was playing World of Warcraft with my usual friends and were hitting up a dungeon pretty hardcore. We were about halfway through and exactly at the drop of midnight, my cable goes out along with my internet. I got friggin’ disconnected in the middle of a dungeon! WTF?!
I began wondering… “Did we pay the bill”? I run in to our bedroom, wake up Chris and ask him if we paid the bill! I had no way way of checking since my internet was down and I don’t have a number to call. He wasn’t sure. Hell, Chris wasn’t even awake when I asked him! He was sleep talking to me.
I frantically run around looking for our bill! It’s so hard to keep track of these things. We have a lot of bills and they’re always paid though. Finally, I found the bill. The due date reads, “October 27, 2008″. Ok? So, what happened? The only thing I was able to do was watch DVR’d episodes of Ghost Hunters, Jon & Kate +8 and Star Trek:TNG.
In an attempt to get back in the game, I try to hackzor someone else’s wifi connection. I thought I had succeeded. I was successful for about 20 seconds and then I got disconnected! FAIL!
So today, on my lunch break, I will have to call and figure out what the deal is! Grr!
