BOO!

Happy Halloween to everyone! Things are starting to wind down
after a several hour quest for sugar. Since it was family night,
we all decided to head out early. But by 7PM, son #4 was tired, so
he and I came home to hand out candy to everyone who came to
visit. We had a grand total of zero people come over. Now I have
to figure what to do with a bunch of unopened candy. Maybe I’ll
take it to work and put it in a bowl for everyone else. So, son #4
and I played cars on the carpet until the rest of the family was
done.

Last night at dinner, I asked son #2 to say the prayer at dinner.
He opened fine, thanked Heavenly Father for this, then that, and
then asked to bless Grandmas, Grandpas, and the normal stuff. Then
his voice got a little quiet and he quickly mumbled something like
“andblessitsowegetalotofcandytomorrow”, and a quick “In the name
of Jesus Christ AMEN!” The other 3 boys said, “AMEN!” and started
to eat. “Hold on a minute, what was that?” I said. “But Dad,” he
said, and then said, ‘aren’t we supposed to involve Him in
everything we do?’

Well, yeah, but...

Anyway, my sweet wife and son #4 went to the children’s hospital
after his radiation treatment today, for a Halloween party. She
said the most ingenious costume was a kid in a wheel chair,
painted all red, with a blue upside down plastic cup on his head.
Someone asked what he was, he said, “A fire truck!”

That’s a good one...

p.s. I put a little song on the blog site on Saturday. Very
