Too Funny!

Ok, I have to admit it. I'm nearly as stupid (actually more stupid) than this guy. I didn't the same thing with a habanero pepper and thought I was going to die. No lie. I couldn't help but laugh at someone else's misery this time. Enjoy!

Netflix

Ok, so way back when I bought my first DVD player for $180 there was a coupon in the box for Netflix. I thought to myself who in the heck would ever want to get movies in the mail? I never thought twice about it and immediately threw it away.

Many years later I find myself signing up for the service. What can I say? I was wrong.

Netflix seems to be a very cool service and the features of their web site are extremely nice. If you don't have an account and rent movies, you might want to check them out. I've started out with the $9.00 a month plan. That let's you get one movie at a time, but as many as you want in a month. $14 will get you two at a time.

Anyway, if you have an account already, let me know. I'll add you as a friend so we can compare movies. Or, better yet, HERE is a link to a friend invite from me.

Halloween Fun

I'm alive. I assure you. It's been a long time since I posted something. A lot has been going on. Let's bring you up to speed quickly...

Cub Scout Camping Trip... Total blast. Cade had a great time and can't wait to go again.

Geocaching... Did some when camping, did some with the nephews, and the kids and I went out with my mom. It's SO much fun! Lately I've been wanting to get out but I've been busy doing other things. Find someone with a GPS and try it!

Cub Scouts... Cade is really digging the Scouts. He worked hard to quickly get his Bobcat badge so he can be on a level playing field with the other Wolves in his den. We did the CR Homecoming Parade. Last week Cade, Cale, and I planted trees for a local housing community with some of the other Scouts in his Pack. They got a big kick out of that.

Sports... Football and Swimming are done. Cale earns his first sporting event medal for flag football. Cade's schedule was nuts, so we trimmed him back. Not only for his sanity, but mainly for ours! Cale has started back up with swimming. Cade will return after a short break. Karate and Scouts is good for now.

Halloween... This year the kids decided on being Secet Agents. Shelly was happy because it was an easy costume to put together. We did the normal rounds of neighbors and family. It's amazing how much candy they can get from the few houses they go to! :) Both kids had fun pretending they were on a mission.

Fall... It's here. What does fall bring? LEAVES! I hate leaves! Well, not leaves specifically, but leaves in our yard. It's a never ending battle that I lose every year. I'll be happy when they're gone. :)

So that's it in a nutshell. Sorry it's been so long. I'll try to be better.

Check out the new photos at Flickr. If you haven't seen the camping photos, be sure to go back that far. Enjoy!
