Me and CJ outside.....

Carly and Me

I celebrated my 40th birthday yesterday. It's been a crazy weekend and this week has not shown any signs of slowing down. Friday night was Carly's band preseason performance. They were amazing. Carly is the brunette, right in the center of the picture (the prettiest one there!)

This is Carly's friend, Philip - back row, second from the right (sax)Carly and Philip playing volleyball at the after party....Had a wonderful birthday weekend that ran over into Tuesday. My actual 40th birthday! I'm waaayyy too young to be 40!

CJ's new ambition...

....is to be a pumpkin farmer. For ever, he's had a heart for animals. Ever since he could answer the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up" his answer has been, "A veternarian". Until yesterday...As we were driving and talking, CJ blurted out, "Mom, I want to be a pumpkin farmer." You all know how random he can be, so to keep his thoughts clear and the conversation going, I said, "Oh yeah? Why?"....keep up with me while I try to put down his response.....

"You see, vampires are mostly scared of pumpkins. Not just vampires, but all of the creatures of the night are scared of pumpkins. Everyone thinks they are scared of garlic, but that's not true. That's why people put out pumpkins at Halloween and not garlic! Besides, have you ever seen a vampire or even a bat in a pumpkin patch?"

hmmmmm...he's random but so convincing. CJ may very well be a pumpkin farmer.
