Have you ever woke up and felt odd in some way? Maybe felt a little bit different? This happened to me the day after Thanksgiving. I woke up early because me and my sister were going to go shopping. I went to brush my teeth and took my toothbrush out of my mouth. And the whole thing was black!!!!
Well this freaked me out (just a little) and I thought maybe I was seeing things because I was so tired. So I opened my mouth and my entire tongue was black. Not my teeth, just my tongue. I brushed and brushed and after three times it finally came off. I was panicked at this point thinking that because I turned 30 my whole body was now going to do strange things. Like turn odd parts of my body black. So I called Chad at work and he so nicely told me that I must have squished a spider in the middle of the night and swallowed the remainder of it. That made me feel so much better to think that I am eating bugs at night, and bugs that turn my tongue black no less.
So I was shopping with my sister and her husband and asked them. My brother in law said that there was no way that a spider would do that and he thinks I have something medically wrong with me. Comfort number two!!! Not only do I eat bugs, but now I have a medical condition that is going to start turning things black at random. Turning 30 is getting more and more awesome!!!
So I come home and tell my parents who get a worried look on their face and tell me, "Well that's not normal!" Thanks guys, I know it's not normal thats why I'm asking. So my mother tells me that I need to hurry and google "waking up with a black tongue." So I do. And three sites tell me that if you take Pepto Bismol before you go to bed that is can cause your tongue to turn black. And then I remembered that because I am now 30 I had a stomach ache the night before and took some pepto before I went to bed. CASE SOLVED!!!
The more I thought about it, I thought that Pepto should put a warning on the box. So I ran to look at the box and there it is. May cause tongue to go black. So let this be a lesson to you: Don't take Pepto and read warnings before you take something. It could cause a lot of damage not only to your tongue, but to your heart from all the stress of thinking you are going to die if you don't.

Feeding the Ducks
The month of October was kind of crazy for us. We dealt with some sickness and then we had birthday's, school parties, baptism and Halloween. It seemed like every weekend we were gone doing something. So the first weekend in November we thought we would just relax. We thought that it would be so much fun to stay at home and play in the yard and not do a thing.
I don't know how many times it's going to take for me to realize that when all of your kids are home, there is no relaxing. There is no playing in the yard peacefully. So we had to come up with something to do and fast! I remembered that when the boys were little I used to take them to this duck pond and they loved it. It's been so warm latetly that we were hoping that the ducks would still be there. We were in luck!
She wanted to climb a tree just like her brothers. She didn't make it very far, thank heavens!
Pk was having so much fun climbing that I think I am going to plant a tree that will grow massive. Then maybe he can entertain himself!
Tan stood at the bottom of the tree. I think he has learned that if he climbs to far, he probably won't make it down on his feet.
Tan dancing for the ducks.
Pk in his BYU hat. He thinks BYU is awesome, and we can't quite figure out why. We don't claim to be big fans, but we think it's because my dad took him to a game and he loved it.
Tan throwing his bread.
Chad and Tan chasing the ducks. Or geese, I don't know what they are. But they had a great time seeing how many they could get to fly.
Lex concentrating so hard to throw the bread just right.
The boys. We had fun and we stayed for a long time. But maybe next weekend we can have a relaxing weekend. Maybe??

Our Scooby Doo Gang
This year I got the bright idea to have my whole family dress up as a theme. I ended up choosing Scooby Doo because it had the perfect number. Chad wasn't to happy about it, and after seeing myself in costume, I don't think I was either.
Velma, Scooby and Shaggy. Yes I know I look ridiculous. I was actually embarrassed for myself.
Sccoby and Shaggy. Pk was so unhappy with his costume until I bought him the wig and drew a goatee on him. When he got to the bus stop for school everyone kept telling him how cool he looked and that made him feel better. But up until that point I felt terrible!
Fred and Daphne. She looked stinkin adorable!!
The gang. It was a lot of fun to get all the costumes and it was fun to have me and Chad dress up this year. Pk said "Mom, it was a lot of fun to dress up as Shaggy, but next year I'm picking my own costume!" All right by me!
