Happy Halloween!!

Shelby decided to celebrate the holiday by being sick. She has had a cough for weeks now but it has gotten to the point where she actually coughs so hard she throws up. So we have been home for the past three days trying to get her feeling better. She took a nice long nap, and it's time to get dressed up.

Here is Shelby with her costume on, all ready to go! As soon as we got to the church she went straight into a mud puddle (see right shoe). 
We could barely get Calvin to leave his costume on. I purposely got something that looks like cars and regular clothes, hoping he would cooperate.


 He finally warmed up once I showed him the scooter. He wanted nothing to do with the candy or talking to strangers. 

After about 10 minutes, Shelby begged to go home. She took off her costume in the car, ate half of one sucker and asked to go to bed. Poor kids. Hopefully they will enjoy the holiday more in the future.

Here is my favorite pumpkin that Caleb carved this year. We helped my sisters kids carve some and we did one for each of us too. It was something Caleb and I had done before we started dating years ago and we have done it almost every year since.

Calvin had a bad day

I got a call at work from Krista, the lady who watches my kids. She said Calvin fell and hit his lip and probably needed stitches. I picked up my purse and ran out of work as quick as I could. I was on hold for 15 minutes trying to reach his doctor, which was aggravating. But once they answered I was at Krista's door and could see what was going on. Calvin was playing in a bedroom, tripped, and fell onto the frame of the bunkbed. Which is metal by the way. The sharp edge of it too. Poor kid always falls, but usually it's the forehead that gets the brunt of it. This time it was his lip. The upper part of his gums really. You can see most of the cut here: We finally reached his doctor and took him in. They didn't give him stitches even though it was still bleeding. It's been 8 hours now and it still bleeds when he talks, eats or drinks anything. It has not stopped him from doing his sound effects for cars and trucks so he spits blood everywhere. Of course, I wore

June was the craziest month I have had in a long time. I am soooo glad it's July! Caleb almost didn't graduate on time and had to pay for summer term. He had one crown that he had to do twice because the lab kept messing it up. The school finally notified us three weeks after graduation that he was OK to graduate and could come checkout. We found out Caleb didn't pass his boards completely and now gets to fly down to California in August to re-do part of it. He has to fly two different patients down too with him, once he finds them. Hopefully he can find one patient that needs both procedures to help save costs. His job in Eugene didn't workout since he didn't pass his boards. They needed someone to start immediately, so they gave it to someone else. The company, Capital Dental, still considers him employed and is keeping his contract. So he still has work, we just have no idea where it will be right now. Hopefully it will be somewhere close to this house we j
