Hey guys,

Well things have been going pretty good lately. Kelsey and I went to her Halloween party at her day care the other night. She had a lot of fun. They had a cake walk. Kelsey was bound and determined to win one so she played the game for about 20 min. The funny part happened after she won the cake. I reminded her that the next day was my birthday and that we would already have a cake. She was a bit annoyed but she settled for the surprise goodie bag instead.

As for my birthday, it went quite well. Kelsey got up bright and early and made me cupcakes. Mom had called the night before and asked her to carry on the family tradition and hide my presents. Kelsey not only hid my gifts but she made the clues. It cracked me up. She hid the gifts then made the clues. She started getting a bit frustrated because she couldn't remember where she had hid the gifts. It was pretty cute. Later that day some friends of mine took us to lunch and then the day carried on as normal.

Tonight we had dinner with Whitnee and Mark. Hey you guys over in Nebraska, you're missing out!

For those of you who hadn't heard, Morgan felt bad for Kelsey and decided to mail her a bug. This isn't a normal bug, it's monsterous. Kelsey began to open the package, I saw the gigantic furry head and made her close the bag and put it away. I still haven't seen the bug, but Kelsey tells me it is awesome. I get to see in in a couple weeks at parent teacher conferences. If I remember, I'll take a picture of it. I'm sure you'll all enjoy it.

Also this week, Kelsey and I have been fighting over her room. I have decided that I am no longer going to help her clean it. Daily I tell her she needs to go in and start cleaning it. When I go in to check on her progress, without fail, I find this:

Kelsey laying in her bed reading a book as though she could care less about her messy room. It makes me nuts. Oh, if you click on the picture, you get a good close up of it. It's lovely.

Oh, how can I forget. The highlight of my week was finding a picture of Hillary and Bill Clinton on a birthday card. It's so stupid I'll have to put it on my refrigerator. I had to buy it because it was just too stupid. I'll try and scan it into my computer and see if I can post it. It absolutely made my day.

Here's a picture I took of Kelsey a while back ago. Thought it was pretty cute. Also if you look below, I posted a picture of Kelsey's pumpkin that we carved. Love it!
