Snow Day!

The first snowfall of the season and the kids wanted to go outside and play in it at 7 this morning!

Well Duh...

What? The economy is so bad right now that you may actually delay taking the tax breaks away from the wealthy? Why on earth would you consider that? Oh, I don't know, maybe because the wealthy - you know that crazy class of people who own all of our businesses (restaurants, retail stores, grocery stores, manufacturing plants, independently owned health care facilities...and the list goes on) are actually the people who are employing the majority of us in this country. Gosh Obama, do you think that maybe adding on extra taxes to all of these businesses- who are already being overtaxed, I might add- just might possibly affect people's jobs as well as increase the costs of the products and services that people are purchasing? I mean it's great that you want to hand out free money to the middle-class and all, but will you be able to hand out enough money to make up for them losing their jobs and enough money to make up for the rising costs of products and services that will occur if you tax businesses even more? Overall, I guess it's a fair trade-off: more money at tax time, but no job. Didn't your parents ever teach you that nothing in life is free?

Chris Is Just A Kid At Heart

The other day Alec and Julia were each having a friend come over to play after lunch. When Chris came home that day to eat lunch, Alec said to him: "Hey dad, mommy is watching four kids today. If you stay home she will be watching five."

Kids- they are just too darn smart!

VOTE!!!!

GET OUT THERE AND VOTE FOR THE FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY!

I don't make a habit of discussing politics with my 3 and 5 yr. old, so I had to laugh this morning when I walked into the living room to hear Alec say: "Hey Julia who do you think we should vote for? I think we should vote for McCain because he might give us candy canes."

Beautiful Weather

The weather is beautiful! It's hard to believe that it is November. Today we visited a new park surrounded by bright colored trees.
