Spiderman

So Halloween is Cassidy's favorite holiday, she asks us at least once a day what we are going to be for Halloween, when I say every day I mean every single day of the year. This year has been so exciting for Caleb because he's caught some of Cassidy's "Halloween Spirit" and has also been asking everyone what they are going to be for Halloween. So since Uncle Cody is going to be out of town on Halloween he decided it would be neat to come in his costume and surprise the kids with a Halloween treat, this is what happened:

Happy Halloween.....eh......Christmas?

We were surprised this morning to find that we had about 4 inches of snow on the ground when we woke up. I can't believe that its already snowed, aren't the leaves supposed to fall off the trees first? In any case the kids love it. If we let her, Cassidy would spend the whole day outside playing (and eating) the snow.

Jason vs. Garage Door

Okay this is our exciting weekend adventure; it all started on Thursday when Bridget couldn't get the garage door down so I decided to see what the heck was going on. Low and behold one of the runners had worn out to the point that it had slipped into one of the holes on the track. So I decided I'd pound it with a hammer for bit but it still didn't come loose. So I decided that I would loosen the bracket the wheel was attached to and see if it would come free that way. I thought that I had it loose enough so that we could at least lift the door and pull the cars in for the night, so I had my aunt Heather hit the switch and sure enough the door started to go up but the roller was still jammed in the track which created a whole lot of tension on the cable and after enough tension was built up the roller finally gave way and my face happened to be in the way as it came loose. As luck would have it the roller missed my eye but broke my nose and gave me some good lacerations on my nose and eye lid. Bridget was such a trooper in keeping me calm at the hospital I would have probably been freaking out a lot more than I did if she wasn't their to help. Thanks Honey! Lesson Learned: Always ask for help when it comes to garage doors and if you ever need to go to the ER call Bridget, she'll get you there in a jiffy.
