This week was fun and busy. Got my Tinker Bell costume done, but it is to cold out to wear it trick or treating. Wolfgang loves his Peter Pan costume. We went to a Halloween party at the Reeve. Wolfgang played every game and got lots of candy. Dougie was acting like he was to old for everything. He doesn't even want to dress up this year. Wolfgang helped make treat bags for all the trick or treaters. Dan and Dougie worked on Dans car last night and it is ready to be towed to our house so he can finish it.

We had a long week. Wednesday we went to swing dancing. We are so lost! On Thursday Dan worked on his car and then we went to see The Hangover. It was funny, we both enjoyed it. I left my sweater in the theater and didn't notice until I got home. I was too tired to go back and get it. Friday I had a meeting on campus and a guy there mentioned he worked in the union. I started to tell him I left my sweater last night and he happened to be the one to find it and turned it in! He told me where it was so I got it back after the meeting. I also he to by my new text book. It is so long and the class is only 7 weeks. After the meeting we went and picked up the kids. Wolfgen did some painting when we got home, but it was late so he had to go to bed soon after. Dougie and Dan played Okami. Saturday was fun. I started the day off by going into work to work over time, but went home because I was too tired and it was just not worth it. We all watched Coraline. I feel asleep right at the end. We went and got some pumpkins at the store and then headed down to Oconomowoc. We went to a haunted house at the old middle school. It was good but too short. then we went to Tony's birthday party at Kelly's Bleachers. Wolfgang wasn't goo in the car ride so he couldn't go swimming at the hotel. He was pretty sad about it. We let him play in the large tub in the room. He had fun. Dougie couldn't play video games because the remote didn't have an Aux button. I felt bad for him. At least he go to watch cable. Wolfgang also had a lot of trouble going to bed. On Sunday Wolfgang was so sad because he couldn't go swimming again. I had to go to work and Dan worked on his car. He is almost done!

Yesterday was a long day. I worked at the computer lab in the morning, then went home and passed out. I kept getting phone calls but couldn’t get myself to wake up. I got up around 2:30 and had to get ready for Wolfgang’s parent teacher conference. Dan got home and we were in a big rush. He had to shave and change his clothes. We got there o time but then couldn’t find the room they were in and the cell phones wouldn’t work in the building. Everything went good. I really like Wolfgang’s teacher this year. After the conference we took the kids out to dinner at Fong’s. They were so happy to see us on a school night. They couldn’t stop talking. It was a lot of fun. I’m going to try to start getting down there more on the week days. We got home around 10pm and Dan passed out right away. I got ready for bed but forgot to put our left over in the fridge :(

Yesterday was a productive day for me and Dan. I worked in the morning, came home and cleaned the house and started on my new painting. I got to eat lunch with Dan before going to work at Goodwill for the evening. Dan got a lot of work done on his car. His friend kept him company. He is thinking he can get it out of storage this week. Today I was looking through Erica's face book pictures and found these cute pix of Wolfgang. They are from 2008.

Fri, Sat, and Sun....AKA sweetest day weekend.
Friday was ok...other than another long day at the factory....thought it was ten or so...nope, that stupid clock didn't know what it was thinking, it wasn't even nine eight yet...wow. Anywho, production has been slow needless to say, and lot's o' people are working slow lately...it's like, hey we just finished a plane time to drag ass! I took off the vertical stab fairing and the whole time i was up on the plane (birds eye view, high up looking and can see almost everyone) there were a few guys that literally, for almost an hour, walked around the hangar just talking. kinda ticked me off actually. At any rate, the day ended and it couldn't've been sooner because i was really looking forward to my sis coming over and seeing my house! My mom and step dad drove her and her husband up and picked up the kids on the way (thanks guys!)! It was very exciting, and my house has been pretty clean too :) Lynda and I have been staying pretty tidy and keeping up on it. We ordered some toppers pizzas and hung out a little... nothing too fancy as has been my expression (or excuse) lately. Mom and Todd were a bit tired so it wasn't a late night... well for them it was, but we played some Wii and called it an evening.
Saturday, Sweetest day... well it went better than last year... if that's saying much, i hung out with ruckhus last year on sweetest day, lol. We went to Target to buy Wolfgang his reward for ten days of perfect behavior and decided to get eachother our presents as well. Lynda saw a bike basket and she's been wanting one really bad so it was perfect and we ran over to a game shop and got me a sweet vid called Okami, which is highly necessary because i'm restricted from playing farther than dougie in Zelda (or getting too close to where he's at either) which is really hard 'cause he told me to try it and i really liked it and just wanna keep playing! so we got me an awesome game i can play and i'm happy! but now he's playing my game so it leaves me very little zelda to play.... paradox. hah! Then we went to my Grandparents 60th anerversary party which there is no other word for other than touching... it was so very sweet. At first it was socializing and catching up with family and then we had the culture and heart touching moments. FOOD! did i mention good food! Grandpa played accordian while dad played guitar and the ladies danced (since guys barely ever dance... not to discredit Grandpa who did dance with Grandma!) and we sang and laughed and cried. Everyone was there, my sisters, parents, and all my cousins and uncles and aunts. It was as wonderful as it could've been!
Sunday..... overall pretty great day.. other than i'm taking too much of my evening writing a blog! blah. Spent the morning with the boys, at first went a little nuts, then things settled down, put training wheels on Wolfy's bike but didn't have enough time at the park with him and drove them back after three. Made yummy yummy spaghetti for dinner, drank whine, bought Lynda some cute little flower plant for belated sweetest day, and here we are and away I go! Ta da... bye now!

We need to start getting more sleep. We only made it through about half our swing dance lesson last night. Dan was still sick and I'm hurt from last week. I think I need to see a doctor. We did enjoy some rounds of Mario Cart. This morning I'm at work at the computer lab but I can't do any homework because D2L is not working. I would read but it's making me fall asleep.

Daniel's day:
I was sick from work yesterday so it was sort of a Monday to me and I'm still sick :( but starting to feel better :) Done gutting airplanes and now working on repairing Aircraft 55 which is my fourth at Basler (for gutting and repairing). Busted my thumb up a few times, got really frustrated replacing one frame, and most of my scabs fell off the burns on my arm. All in all the highlight of my workday was 3:30... go home time. Home is always good, love my house and Lynda was here waiting for me today... kinda woke her up. We had a cheap dinner that brought back some memories of when we first started dating and watched The latest mummy movie, which should've been good since it had Jet Li in it, but don't watch it because it's not good.... at all.... it's bad. Ohhh.. then, as I was feeding my gliders, four feet away from me the microwave turned on... which i have no explanation for, unless it was caused by Lynda's cell phone from the other room that was on silent so i don't even know if the call came at the same time... if anyone has any sound theory or can vouch for cell phones setting off microwaves please let me know... cause i'm still kinda creeped out. Sweet, that's my day, and now this is good night!

We had a great birthday party for Dougie this weekend! Dougie is now a teenager, it's crazy!

Working in the computer lab this morning and I thought I'd start a blog to start keeping track of some of our adventures. This is a week for getting things done. I'm busy with work and school and Dan is fixing his Honda so we can get it out of storage. We are taking swing dance lessons every Wednesday night and have a fundraiser coming up in December. We really need to start practing during the week :)
