Does anybody know what Provisional voting is? I do! It's an excruciating way to vote inflicted upon those whose county screwed up their registration! I will not inflict the details of the process on the readers, but I will say that after checking all 5 databases they could only find my canceled registration from Houston, proving that I sent it in, but no one completed it. So After filling out 3 forms and giving them all my ID numbers, making sure I touched every document "for verification", and making me seal the envelope myself, they got all my info, fingerprints, and even my DNA! I was then allowed to vote but I have to wait 2 weeks to see if they will count it. If I get arrested for a government crime, everyone will know I was framed!
Dead people can vote easier than that!

A Howling Halloween!

It was a very nice time this year it was Mara's first (obviously).

The boys had three different events to go to so there was a parade of costumes. Evan was the only one who wore his Bumblebee Transformer costume for everything.

For the school Fall Fest, Kenneth was Spiderman and Sam was Bumblebee too.

For the Halloween Bash at UT Kenneth was Superman. Sam stayed Bumblebee.

But for Halloween Trick-or-treating, Sam turned into Batman, Kenneth became a Vampire, Evan was good ol' bumblebee and Mara became a little Ladybug.

For pumpkin carving, we let the boys clean out the goop and draw a face that Brent and I cut out. Brent did Mara's little pie pumpkin. See the resemblance?

They got a fair share of candy but it will be heavily taxed by their dad.

We've had a Birthday! Shout Hooray!

Yea!! Evan is four! Unfortunately, mommy only had one candle, but he didn't mind.

Daddy tried to get fancy with his cake by doing math problems that equaled five. Then Kenneth asked him why they equaled five, and Daddy said "That's how old Evan is, silly."
Kenneth had the last laugh while daddy took off the sugar numbers to make math problems that equaled four.

Evan got loaded with gifts thanks to our friends and family. Thank You for making his b-day so special. We love ya!

Oh My GOSH!! I'm SOOO Excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smile on, Angel!

We finnally caught a real smile on her face! She doesn't have gas, I swear!

She does smile in her sleep too!
This is Brent trying to get Mara to smile, but he only managed to suck out her brains. He says it's her fault for tasting so good.

Mara loves to lay on daddy!

Supersilious

It's been a long time since my last entry. Sorry, but it's hard to type with a baby on your lap.

Had to share this though. Sam was telling 'jokes' tonight at the dinner table and was getting prouder and prouder of himself as he thought of better and better ones. It kinda went like this:

Sam: Mommy why did the fireman wear suspenders?
Me: Don't know Why?
Sam: to keep his pants on.
Me: oh my (he he he)
Sam: Mommy why did the curtains not move?
Me: Don't know.
Sam: Cause they could move by themselves!!
Me confused: oh okay hahaha
Sam with pride: I am so crazy.
Me: Oh yeah.
Sam: Mommy why did Mara cross the road?
Me with raised eyebrows: Why?
Sam: To jump over the fires and the chickens HAHAHAHAHA!
Me: That's a good one buddy (insert fake laugh)
Sam with more pride: I am so good at telling jokes. I'm the super silliest.
Me: (Real laughter)!
