Lucky Me

The boys have been playing together without one single argument or interaction from us for about 40 minutes now. They playing hide and seek as animals. Eric is cleaning our bathroom and told me that I should go take a nap (I must be crabby). How awesome is that! What a great labor day!

Murder Mystery

Our friends Josh and Rachel had us over for a murder mystery dinner a few weeks ago. We had to come dressed as particular characters. Eric's persona was Cal Q. Later- a nerdy type. I was Penelope Lofer, AKA Penny Lofer- a rich snob. The whole dinner was a class reunion where one of our class members had been mudered and we were charged to figure out who the killer (s) was. It ended up that I was mostly innocent since another character and I had plotted to kill, but our plot had failed as someone else had gotten to our potential victim first. Eric was one of three who actually succeeded in the killing. He was the brains behind the murder- of course.

Pre-parade fun

The parade begins- I think they're watching the firetrucks here.



Travis, Tom's brother, helps entertain everyone until the parade begins.


Eric and Isaiah- again, trying to stay occupied until the parade.
