Happy Halloween

We had too much candy! Toddler O, Hot Wife, and I, are suffering from sugar comas. Maybe a couple of days and lots of water will solve that.

In Memory of Cod

Sometimes all we are left with are memories, but at least no one can take that away...

Cod you inspired us with your fight and though things ended unlike we desired, we thank you for being with us until even your last of moments. Even when words wouldn't come out of your mouth no matter how hard you tried, thank you for speaking to Mom, Amy H, Hot Wife, me and all your friends. Thank you for the tear that fell from your eye. Thank you for sending Mr. Roy Clark and his book. You amazed us with God's surprises. Thank you for the bird at your memorial that hovered over the crowd to what seemed like forever as if to tell us all is well with you.

These things and more tell us that you are with us and won't leave us. And the rare time when I don't have words to express my heart, I must simply tell you thanks.

T-Tom This One's For You

Since you are a such a long-time visitor of Duff Stuff, we thought we'd say "hey"!

So from the whole gang; Hot Wife, Toddler O, and myself, "Hello from Duff Stuff".

No More Janky Christmas Cards: Call Today!!!

Ooops

Toddler O, pee'd on the potty. Yea right? Nope, she literally pee'd on the top of the potty -- she forgot to lift the seat. Argh!

Umbrellas, Potty, and Two-day School

It's been a while since I updated some pics. These aren't masterpieces but let you all know what we've been up to the last few weeks.

Toddler O learned to use an umbrella. And since it's a Dora umbrella, she thinks it should be used anytime... Rain or shine.

She's also learned to use the potty. She'll hate me for this picture one day, but it seems like a parents right of passage to show a pic like this. She doesn't know how to "feel" potty time yet, but if we stay on her, she doesn't have any accidents. Today she didn't mess up any panties! Woo Hoo!

Finally, Toddler O had her first day of two-day school at God's House. She loves it! While the other kidos were pining for their mommies, Toddler O just cruised on in to the room and started playing. The little rat has the confidence of a kid many times her age. She loved school so much that she cried when she had to leave. Argh! I guess it could be worse - she could have not liked it.

Night time prayers.

"Dear God take care of Mommy, not Daddy, 'Tacy, not Bert Bert, Dede, not Poppy, Issa, not Cod"

Toddler O's been praying this prayer for weeks now and we can't figure out why the guys are getting the short end of the stick so to speak. Doggone, I want some prayers too!

After weeks of the prayer, last night Hot Wife asked, "why do you not like praying for the men"?
Toddler O responded by wrinkling her nose, opening her mouth, and breathing in and out making an airy noise.

"Because they snore?", asked Hot Wife.

"Yes", confirmed Toddler O.

Again I ask... Where does she get this stuff?
