Knotts Halloween Haunt

Last weekend we went to Knotts Halloween Haunt. We had a lot of fun going through the mazes and being scared. All though no one could scare Jeremy, which irrated me. I did not take a lot of pictures this year I think because Gretchen was not with us and when we are together we take a lot of pictures. We went to the Killer Clown Kollage maze which I missed last year, it was actually pretty funny. Emily did not like this one as she does not like clowns.
The Poo Man Group was playing in the Lost Vegas section...I know pretty dumb but at the time we thought it was funny.

These are 2 of the clowns who chased people through the park. There are lots of characters like these that run through the park and sneek up behind you. When we first got there one of them spotted Emily and chased her around in circles around me and when she finally stopped running he snorted at her and ran away to bother someone else. I couldn't stop laughing at her. Jeremy missed it because he was standing in the long bathroom line. We were able to hit all of the mazes this year, which is a first for me. It was not very crowded and we started the opisite direction of most people. We have also mastered getting in early. The trick is to buy your tickets online and then get there early and walk in the entrance area, they are supposded to open the gates at 7 but they are normally open at 6:30. We had a fun night and can't wait to go again next year.

One purple cast please

Yes that is a real cast on Theresa's arm. She fell down and has a buckle fracture in her wrist. You can read the whole story on her mom's blog (Jen). Theresa thinks that the cast is great and was really excited when she got it. There is also a sad and pathetic picture of her on her mom's blog. She had her choice of colors for her cast and since pink and purple are her favorite colors, and pink was not an option for some reason, she choose purple. Poor kid a few days after the cast issue she fell into the rosebushes at their house and scraped up her leg pretty good.

What to blog about....

I have some pictures to post from the weekend. We did go to Knotts Halloween haunt and had loads of fun. I will hopefully get the camera downloaded tomorrow. I need to do laundry but I don't feel like it. Jeremy is working right now until sometime after midnight and of course I can not sleep when he is not home. So the dog and I are sitting on the couch watching ER season 1. Speaking of ER I can not believe that this is the last season!!!! They are supposed to bring back a lot of old characters the one I am wondering about the most is Dr. Green (Anthony Edwards) who they killed off a few seasons ago. They had him die of brain cancer so I am not sure how he is going to be coming back.

We have continued to watch the new 90210 and it has gotten much better and a lot less sexual than the first episode. I am enjoying watching it now. Desperate Housewives started on Sunday...kind of werid this season, they made it start 5 years after the last season ended. Brothers and Sisters also started on Sunday, very good show, if you have not watched it then you must try one episode.

The only other show I am waiting for is CSI, which starts in October. Other than that I need to learn to nt watch so much tv.

So Theresa had requested that Jeremy be Princess Cinderella for Halloween and he will do it but wants someone to py him $50 for doing it...any takers?? I need to find a dress big enough to fit him or figure out a way to make one. I have some ideas which I might work on tomorrow. Can you imagine Jeremy in a Cinderella costume taking Travis and Theresa trick or treating????? I would give him $50 to do it if I had the money!!

I heard a rumor.....

Jeremy told me today that he talked to Earl and Earl reads my blog!!!!! I would never have known that since he NEVER leaves any comments. So Earl leave a comment once in a while, we miss hearing from you!!!!

Laundry

Why do I feel like I am always doing laundry? Jeremy cleaned out bedroom over the weekend and brought out a lot of clothes that were piled up. So I hve been taking my time this week and washing everything and going through the things that we never weat, time to donate our junk for that all important tax write off. I don't mind washing the clothes, especially with our new washer and dryer, but I hate folding the clothes and putting them away. Jeremy always telle me to fold them and he will out them away, but we all know how men can be and it takes him about 3 days of me bugging him before the clothes get put away. So I guess today I will be folding everything and putting it all away.

Nothing els is going on with us. Jeremy is at work now and has to work tonight at a football game in Carpenteria, so I will eat dinner by myself. The good thing is that Survivor and ER both start tonight. I am shocked that this is ER's final season. Not sure what I will watch on Thursday's once it ends. CSI Las Vegas does not start again until 10/9 and I am very much looking forward to that.

We did watch Heros on Monday night, however I need to watch that episode again because I was very confused. Was anyone else confused??

Happy Birthday Jon!!

Today is my brother in law, Jon's Birthday. I know it's a pretty bad picture but it is the only one that I could find this morning. This was taken when we all went to San Diego in April. I will make sure to take some better pictures when we see them all in December.

Happy 34th Birthday Jon!!

Little sisters can be a pain in the butt....

We went to my dad's house on Sunday and my sister, Emily, has decided that I need to take her to Knott's Halloween Haunt, she was mad that I did not take her with me when I went last year. I explained to her that we are tight with money right now and may not be able to go, but I would check to see what kind of discount tickets there are and we would think about it. I have gone for the past 2 years and it is a lot of fun to go, but the tickets are about $39 per person with the discount from Burger King. I called her last night to talk to her about it and she says that she has "old people" (meaning our dad and her mom) that would give her money to go. Now I don't think of my dad as being old (He is only 54) but then I thought about it Emily is 16 and I guess that 54 would seem old to her!! So now I am playing with our budget to see if we can afford to take her. I think tonight we will go by Burger King and see if they still have the discount coupons, maybe that will make us decide if we are going or not!!
