Celtic Women

If you go to this link you will see one of the songs we heard at this concert.

These women are amazing. No special effects - just music and song. Very simple stage to not distract you. The Violinist is amazing - she jumps around the stage while playing the violin. Don't know how she can do that but must be the years of practice she has had playing.

If you ever get the chance to see these women in concert - go. It is worth the money spent.

Halloween 2009

Now that I have some pictures to include for this post...here it goes.

Kurtis & Joey got to do the first trick-or-treating of the season with Kenny, Jacob, Meghan & Ellie since Jeff & I went to the Shadowbox Caberat that night (Thus Oct 29).

Got to love when the city of Columbus tells everyone several years ago that they would "Always" have trick-or-treat on Halloween no matter what day it fell on. Oh well - never trust a politician.

Jeff made Kurtis SpongeBob costume for him. This was something he did in just a few days because until the Sunday before Halloween, Kurtis did not know what he wanted to be. Joey had no real requests and Amanda just happened to have this Fireman costume. Thanks again Amanda for letting us use it.

The second set of Trick-or-Treating was at the Boat Club with Dad & Deb. Rachael's son, Dominic was there as well. Below are several pictures from that event.

Joey decorated this cupcake & just had to eat it.

Dominic did not like the mask that went with his costume - I tried to get a picture but he would not stand still or look at me with it on. Oh well.

Since Oct 30 is Jeff's birthday, we went to the Shadowbox Cabaret with some friends on Oct 29th. This show is so much fun. We love to go whenever we get the chance.

Joey Sayings

I thought I would take a page from Emily & write down a few things Joey has said in the last few days that has made me laugh...

1. Monday, we were at a friends house where I am doing a little work for him. He has a Guitar Hero game & all the instruments to go with it. While I am sitting at the computer doing the work, Joey comes up to me and says "Mommy, the guitar won't work. Now I can't be a Rock Star." Tell me your heart just does not laugh at that one...

2. Tonight, I was getting the kids into bed. Joey has to have Baby (a brown bear that mom actually got for me before Kurtis was born) and Bear (a large white bear) to go to sleep every night. He likes to put his finger in Baby's bow around his neck. Well, tonight we could not find Baby before bed time. I have gotten into the habit of reading to the boys a story of their choice before I turn off the light. Tonight I could not start the story until Joey was done talking to Bear and this is what he said:

"Bear, I know Baby is your best friend." pause (I think he was listening to what Bear was saying) "I can't find him right now." I even think he said something about missing him too but he said some things so quiet I could not here them.

Luckily, I was able to find Baby - in our closet (the door was shut which is why we did not see him at first).

Just thought others would like to hear what Joey has said that makes us laugh...

On a whole other note: Abby, our baby kitten, decided to do something that made Jeff & I both laugh. She tried to walk up the banister on our steps. She would get up a few steps then slide right back down. She did this several times before giving up. Got to love animals - at least they can make you laugh.
