Not all reverence

Just in case you thought Raymond was all piety due to that last post, here is another recent comment.

We were at Red Mango, and a hip hop/pop version of "Here Comes Santa Claus" a la Destiny's Child came on over the speakers.

Ray: "A sexy way."
Me: "What??"
Ray: "A sexy way of singing Here Comes Santa Claus."

Religion a la Ray

Scott was just decorating the Christmas tree.

Scott: Now I'm going to put these ribbons on the tree.
Raymond: No.
Scott: Yes.
Raymond: Nooo.
Scott: Yes!
Raymond: NO! What do ribbons have to do with Jesus?!?

It's About Time



I know, I know. It has been forever, and we have done so much in the past few months!

I knew yesterday I REALLY had to get things updated when Raymond and I had this exchange.

"Mom, I had a cookie and egg nog at school and now I'm eating this sugary yoghurt."

"Well, Ray, I think you'll be okay because you ate all your lunch, and that was healthly."

"But I had more sugary food than healthy food. What will become of us?"

ANYWAY

What we've missed the past few months:

-2 Week Trip to Santa Rosa (complete with Howarth Park & Beach excursions)
-LOTOJA (Scott did fantastically - and finished 1 minute short of his goal.
There's always next year!) Thanks for helping, mom! (She drove the kids!)
-Fun in Jackson Hole for 3 days after the race. We toured the town, went up
the tram and LOVED the Bar J Chuckwagon BBQ Show. Those cowboys are
some amazing songbirds!
-Boeuf Bourguignon! My mom and I wore pearls while making it.
-Scott to Ray camping, the "hike to the site" kind. Ray loved it, and caught
his first fish!
-Ray starting preschool (He loves it!)
-Halloween! (Ray - T-Rex, Thomas - Dragon, except for that time Ray was
Spiderman and Thomas was Batman.) Thomas said "Trick-or-treat" perfectly!
-A Serious Day of Fun in The Snow!
-A spontaneous car camp where we saw some of the most amazing leaves ever!
That was Thomas' first time camping - won't be the last!

I'm sure there was much more, but I can't remember. And that's just through October!
