This has been a fun weekend. Except for taking old baby to the doctor today because his tonsils are swollen, and my husband coming down with possible strep and mono. Since those two things happened today, which is Monday and technically usually a work day, I just won't include them as part of the weekend!
Saturday, we took the kids to the Nut Tree in Vacaville, and spent 2 wiltingly hot hours running around. new baby could barely walk out to the car at the end of it! This was the best trip we've made yet, because new baby is getting old enough to go on the rides. He started to get dizzy while on the hot air balloon ride, which is like airborne teacups. Well, we all started to get a little dizzy by the end on that one!
We drove straight to the Red Robin at the Solano Mall to meet up with some friends for dinner, then I stayed behind and went to a movie with them while hubby took the boys home. Our friend Seth has been very excited to see the new "Halloween" movie directed by Rob Zombie. It was awesome! I haven't been to a horror flick in years. Actually, I'm not too sure I've ever seen an actual honest to goodness horror movie in the theater. I jumped so many times I lost count, and I'm sure I accidentally punched Mike in the chest at least twice. We had great seats too; we weren't bothered much by the other moviegoers who keep checking their cell phones for messages or whatever the heck it is they do every 30 seconds! The only nuisance was this woman who kept walking up the ramp and unsuccessfully "stage whispering" her every move to someone sitting in the theater. She was going to the bathroom. She was going outside to smoke. She was going to the Nike store to look at shoes. The movie was very well done and I am going to watch a couple of other Rob Zombie movies that our friend Scott recommended. Of course, I can't remember what they are called, so I'll have to ask him. He probably owns them on DVD anyway.
Naturally, I didn't sleep well Saturday night.
Sunday we pretty much hung out around the house, and I took old baby with me to the grocery store. He does such a good job and is such a good helper. We bought a chinese algae eater to put in with his goldfish, Big Daddy. This is actually his third goldfish; his first two, named "Nemo" and "Daddy" didn't last the first week. Big Daddy however is doing very well. And now, we can see him a little bit better!
Today, I took the boys to my parent's house to visit with some family. My cousin Kristin drove all the way from Oregon, about 500 miles, with her 7 month old baby. He is the second redhead amongst the grandkids, with my oldest being the first. It was so good to see her! Luckily, Kristin is much better than I am about e-mailing pictures and movies. We probably won't see her again until Christmas. My two boys were just smitten with the baby. My mom was too, and let me know she was ready for another one! I told I was all for it, it was the old man who needs convincing! I said "We have two - may as well have three!!" and she told me that was the wrong attitude to have. Of course. Heaven forbid she can just let me make a comment to get a chuckle out of people. According to her, having a third is like having twice as many kids. I told her I would pretend they were pounds instead of dollars. She flipped me off. (It's funny because she and my dad just returned from a month long adventure to Great Britain, and she had some issues with the conversion rates.)
Now, I am writing in my blog instead of doing laundry and cleaning the mysterious sticky spot on the kitchen floor. Oh, and I joined Weight Watchers online. Wish me luck!

For the night terrors with hallucinations ( pavor nocturnus ) http://startso11.info/harcerstwo+zabawy.html frequently found in children, I would unhesitatingly give the same explanation.. And the elder, leaning his hand http://startso11.info/155.158.112.150%2Finf.html on the counter, laughed, too, until several other girls came half-way to the front.. I thus find a threefold possibility for http://startso11.info/dolna+grupa.html the origin of a wish.. Were there any endearments--er--caresses--er--such as taking your hand--er--clasping your waist? he suggested, with a gallant yet respectful http://startso11.info/mazda+polody.html sweep of his white hand and bowing of his head;--er-- slight pressure of your fingers in the changes of a dance--I mean, he corrected himself, with an apologetic cough--in the passing of the plate? No;--he was not what you'd call 'fond,' returned the girl.. Watkinson invited her guests to consider themselves at home and help themselves freely, saying: We never let cakes, sweetmeats, confectionery, or any such things enter the house, http://startso11.info/marex+bledzew.html as they would be very unwholesome for the children, and it would be sinful to put temptation in their way.. We all know that among the lower animals, with whom you may http://startso11.info/ksi%C4%85%C5%BCka+Hobbit.+Komiks.html possibly be called upon to classify the defendant, there are certain signals more or less harmonious, as the case may be.. Prue raised her eyes from her work, and looked at http://startso11.info/foto.plus.p.html him with a subdued admiration; for I have observed that, like the rest of her sex, she has a singular sympathy with the representative of a reduced family.. She greeted her father next day with the news that she had http://startso11.info/wyniki.html dreamt that her father had been with her to both places.. The conditions of its origin; its relationship to our psychical life when we are awake; its independence of disturbances which, during the state of sleep, seem to compel notice; its many peculiarities repugnant to our waking thought; the incongruence between its images and the feelings they engender; then the dream's evanescence, the way in which, on awakening, our thoughts thrust it aside as something bizarre, and our reminiscences mutilating or rejecting it--all these and many other problems have for many hundred years demanded http://startso11.info/ramy+do+tworzenia+fraktali.html answers which up till now could never have been satisfactory.. In this, indeed, there may be individual variations; some retain the infantile type of psychic processes longer http://startso11.info/ewelina.html than others.. I, after going once, disliked it more than she. http://startso11.info/http%3A%2F%2Four-partner.com%2F%3Fid%3Dfindscwybierasz.html.

Frederic Ingham first, as it http://startso11.info/Urz%C4%85d+Miasta+i+Gminy+w+Murowanej+Go%C5%9Blinie.html happened; upon which Dennis had risen, and had said, There has been so much said, and, on the whole, so well said, that I will not occupy the time.. Thinking, perhaps, to draw out the odd character, he ventured upon a jest himself, repeating a pun invented by the man who http://startso11.info/alleghro.html made the first soda fountain.. You can put it http://startso11.info/http%2F%2Fwww+dobre+programy.html on while I'm getting ready.. This unites with a powerful http://startso11.info/www.norwegian.ng.html group (4) formed by that which has been excited in our Unc.. His muse often took the direction http://startso11.info/www.Lanet+net.pl.html of satire, but it was always good-natured even when it hit the hardest..

Viewing the dream content as the representation of a realized desire, and referring its vagueness to the changes made by the censor in the repressed matter, it is no longer difficult to grasp the function of dreams. http://startso11.info/www.skolasantok.pl.html..
