Who's bright idea was it to let the kids watch Michael Jacksons "Thriller" video?? 
They got through 1 minute (maybe) of the video and I was
 comforting 3 crying children who were to the point of hysterics. 
They didn't even get to the zombie part. 
Only the full moon. 
And that was it. 
Joshua was attached to our sides the rest of the night. 
Anytime my hand was free, he was holding it. 
It doesn't help that he thinks there's a knock-knock monster. 
So anytime there's a knock, he gets a scared look and asks "what was that?".
His fright (of everything) just plain tuckered him out and he fell asleep in Trevors arms. 

With 4 scared-y cats here,  it's going to be a very loooong night.

They must have inherited that form their grandpa. I didn't get over it until I could sleep with a gun under my bed. Strange, huh.

I hate it when kids are scared...and they get SCARED! I am totally unbrave too and when the kids think they 'hear' something...I start thinking..."maybe you did. Actually, I think I did too." I don't think anyone in the Haslem family inherited the 'bravery' gene:)

Dog and Cat...Stevens, that is.

Lately, Carl is the only one who gets naps. (unless it's Sunday...then Trevor and I both demand one) If I was a big, hairy dog, I would expect naps everyday also and would just lay down where ever I wanted to (even it it was in everyone's way). You can just catch a glimpse of my moccasins. And trust me they.are.cute. I love  madewell . My new favorite singer this week? Cat Stevens. It took me watching the movie Harold and Maude to really listen to his music. Wow. And hey, I'm not going to be shy.  I'm going to sing out to the wild world that I love his songs. (if you also like Cat Stevens, then you'll understand the previous sentence...)

Prayers

We have just received news that earlier today my sister Amy and her family have been in a car accident. Tim and the five kids are okay, although banged up, but Amy is in the ICU. They hit hail while driving and the car rolled 3 times and Amy was ejected from the car. All we know so far is that she has broken ribs and  punctured lungs. Please, please please pray for her and her family. Thank you.

Ralph the dog.

Morning at my house is so bright and lovely~that is, as long as it's not snowing or preparing to snow. I made Annabelle open the curtains first thing this morning. When my mornings start out like this, warm and bright, it just makes me happy. Today Joshua decided to be a dog. A dog named Ralph. And Ralph loves raspberry sherbet. Ralph got really tired and is now resting while watching Shrek 2. Not my favorite movie but whatever... I think I misspoke yesterday when I wrote that I/we had big decisions to make. There's nothing out of the ordinary except for, you know, the usual. And the fact that we found out yesterday that both girls need braces; Emily now or at least soon and Annabelle in a year or so. And Stephen has possibly two developing cavities. At this moment in time, I am very, extremely, incredibly grateful for dental insurance. That may not be the case in a few months but I'm not thinking about that...and I'm trying to no...
