Don't it figure...
The computer is still on the blink...
and I have pictures on the camera... the best one is a shot of Hope's tongue... yes, Hope's tongue - gotta be a story there.
.
I noticed I forgot to point out Emma's report card - she got all "O's" outstanding and one "G" good for gym - and her teacher sent home a letter saying she was going to try her on the advanced spelling words too - she is reading chapter books in addition to the regular reading books. Not just pretty but wow!
.
Rachie is doing well in school too - hasn't lost any points on her grade this week - lots of homework and lots of shenanigans - that's my girl!
.
And Hope isn't receiving the class clown award ( yet ) I talked briefly to her teacher and she said that her personality in class is different than we see at church ( where she is crazy and acting like a "good mannered" lunatic ) - says she concentrates and pays attention and seems to enjoy school. Hopefully she will catch on to which are letters and which are numbers and it doesnt' bother me about her spelling her name EPOH...
.
that's all i got - figured i'd get points for keeping up on what's going on even if you can't see the kiddo's.
.
oh yeah, Hope was playing school with Emma when Emma told her to work on her math homework - and Hope was looking down at the paper and mutters " this sucks! "
.
I'm doomed!

Ah Choo!!! Guszendtight
It's back to being crazy at the Shockley's.
It started last Thrusday - David got last minute tickets to see VaTech play Maryland Terp football. I wasn't up to the whirlwind trip - but an added bonus was that Emma and Hope got to go to Blacksburg with him and met Memaw and G-daddy who whisked them off for a sleepover!! Emma was SOOO excited, we were letting her miss day of school ( our school's were closed on monday for teacher workday and tuesday for election - so it was a nothing day to miss as all the test's were cancelled )
Have you noticed what this meant??? I was all ALONE thursday night and friday till it was time to go to b/burg and get Rachel and the little hoodlums!
The Terps lost the game but it was a great second half, so it was worth the trip...
/
I got the girls and listened to 3 girls telling me all about their day/night/outfit/lunch/what the teacher said/did to her/and enjoyed the ride home my girls.
.
I also saw the dust from the g/parents van.... it was uttered as they drove away that the little ones fell asleep around 11ish the night before - had been up since the crack of dawn and no nap was had! Lots of different food groups, popcorn, donuts, pretzels, and several cups of peaches ??? It all works out in the end. Hope made it till T - 10 minutes from the house before falling asleep.
.
Not sure if Emma has had allergies or brought home a delightful cold from school - but I would venture that it's a nasty cold - since I have it - Hope has it - Dad had it briefly --- running out and buying stock in Scott Tissue would be a good idea about now.
Emma's on the mend, Hope is walling in er, well snot - and I would be too if not for the invention of DayQuill!
.
Saturday - we pigged out on lots of bacon, eggs, biscuits and cool pancakes, made with cheese and bacon! gotta love Saturday mornings with family! Then we bundled up and ran to Enterprise to get the rental while the van goes in the shop ( de-deer the front ) the girls were thrilled at the thought of picking out a new car! we have a Dodge Caliber.... it works, kinda weird being down low but it's better than no car for a week. Dad and Rachel went to the Coomes Center and ran and played basketball, nothing like getting whopped by a 12 year old, er, dad whipped the kid - yeah right. We had an awesome dinner - played Trouble - layed around.
What a weekend, and we all were in bed by 9! It's been a big week. We even offered Rach the controller, the computer, all to herself and she said "g-night".
.
Sunday - mum felt like a truck hit her, Dad fed me and sent me back to bed, he and the girls went to church and i rested up a bit. We hung out for a while then dad took Rach back early to have dinner together in b/burg - time together. I gave the girls a nap then headed to the movies to see ' Madagascar 2 ' ... 3 thumbs up!!
....
I took some good pictures but our home computer is blink so I will catch up eventually.
I'll be adding the whatnot's at night on Daddio's laptop from work.

Happy Election Day
Riding to the park on Saturday, Emma says: "I hope McCain is the new President"
Inquisitively, I say: "why is that?"
Emma: "Well, if Obama wins, Olivia and Sami are moving to Canada and I would miss them."
Kids, gotta start them early...

Trick or Jeesh.... is that Dad?
Don't knock on that door girls...
trick or treat
cuties....
um, that's really scary
diving into the loot
Hope, Emma and Tom
Dad, Emma's art project and the missing tip of his finger
Fun Dip - they still make that!?!
meeewow
Hopie the helper at Trunk or Treat
Dad and Hope and our trunk, at least the deer hit the front of the van
Since daylight savings hasn't hit yet - we took our time getting ready because it was still light at 6pm! It was time for the second round of trick or treating... Emma's school did Trunk or Treat earlier on Friday, so Emma got the treats and Hope and I handed out the tricks....
after dinner of Emma's favorite, Michelina's frozen macaroni and cheese - and Hope a frozen pepperoni pizza -- mum and dad had beer baked bratwustz...
David's boss Tom came with us - his family is in Minnasota and he was having kid withdrawl
a large haul was had by the girls - Emma conned me into 3 pieces before bed ( no chewy candy after all that dental work ! ) and the adults tried a sampling to make sure it was not tainted.
