HEAD IN THE CLOUDS

Drew bought me a new computer for my birthday, which was great, however instead of having a desktop it has a "cloud".  I have no idea what that means and it takes a long time for me to learn new things.  Anyway, I borrowed his more familiar computer to update Blessed by Three. Here is an entry of mixed up pictures of Halloween and the days surrounding the festivities.



 Jia had to make a Halloween costume for her teacher 
and then write about her choice.
Jia chose a Magician because Mrs. Williams knows everything!
 When Jia is plugged in nothing makes her move
 Lesa's Starbucks No-cook Protein Dinner
Even Drew liked it!
Provolone cheese, grapes, hard boiled eggs, apples and peanut butter

Katie's Steak Salad 
Steak, cheese, cherry tomatoes, baby lettuce
 Jia is a watermelon fairy

...and in Orlando
 Chelsey, Anna and Mandy going to a fraternity Halloween party
(I checked out the fraternity and Victor went with them
she is still my baby and always will be)
 Chelsey and Anna going Trick or Treating
Yes, they really did

Halloween and Hair!

We bought Styrofoam pumpkins and decorated them!

Jia decorated her pumpkin as a cat and tried her mask on! (it has glow sticks attached) 
The "Marilyn Monroe" pumpkin 
Katie hiding her face as usual, she spent all day working on a science project and got a 100%! 
With the money from Nona, Jia purchased 3 new outfits from Build-a-Bear. 
Anna and Victor made chicken fried rice and vegetable fried rice for the family. 
Katie's alien pumpkin! 
Anna's new hair experiment! 
We bought her extensions to make her hair seem longer and to stop her from damaging her natural hair even more!

JIA HAS A PLAN


Mom: Hey Jia, are you still going to marry Parker?
Jia: Yes, are you going to marry Dad?
Mom: Dad and I are already married
Jia: Oh, so does that mean you are going to get divorced?
Mom: I wasn't planning on it
Jia: Well if you do Dad and I will have to stay here because I have to go to school and he has to work. You don't do anything so you can go.
Jia: (thinks for a minute) Or we can all just sleep in separate rooms
Lets Just hope that someone's parents are getting divorced because I do not know where this comes from wait a minute- (it could be her big sister Kate who is always tricking her)

I'M A CRAZY GATOR!


College Football seasons and Pro Basketball seasons are so tough. I am not a good sports fan, things get knocked over, pillow get grasped, My family tells me to stop yelling at the tv (talking to the tv happens to me during HGTV as well) and sometimes they make me go into the other room....then we have baseball (yawn) and the worst--Hockey- as Mr. Canadian actually drags me to the arena.  If anyone ever wants to go with him, just let me know.  If Calgary plays the Panthers it is a holiday in our home...

Anyway, GO GATORS!!!!  And will someone please give Timmy a job (uh, JACKSONVILLE-A NO-BRAINER
