John, Laura, Kyle, Christopher (CJ) and Alyssa Mullen

Monday, November 2

Another busy day...of course, around us it is always a busy day.
Kyle was up at 6:00 this morning --- he ran into Mom's room and said, "Look my glow stick is still glowing." Of course, this was essential for Mom to know at that particular moment --- sleep can wait! After Mom convinced him to go back to sleep for at least a little while, she got up and got ready for work.

While Mom was at work, Kyle, CJ and Alyssa had fun (no school today!). They went to Grandma's house and played, worked on verses, went shopping at Wal-mart and played some more.

Art projects today: Kyle and CJ drew pictures for Daddy (see below) and Alyssa glued sequins onto a mask (with brothers' help of course). There ended up being more glue on the newspaper than the mask but it did turn out to Alyssa's satisfaction. Kyle's picture is an all cat band and CJ drew a monster with his butt sticking out of the car (?). I really can't explain that one...I'll leave it up to Dad to figure out the intricacies.

One game that Kyle and CJ played was mafia killers with light sabers, nerf guns and rubber band rifles. It was an intricate game that would have went better if Alyssa hadn't stolen the double blade light saber and run off with it. As a result there was a lot of yelling and chasing and giggling (on Alyssa's part). She is certainly feeling much better from yesterday.

They all ran outside as it was a beautiful sunny day, and there was playing in the couch cushions and playing with playdoh to round things out. Alyssa had to change clothes after playing outside (she tends to get water on everything, but I think she also likes the costume changes).

When Mom got off work, we made Scooby Doo macaroni and cheese, read books and relaxed until we could get Daddy on the web cam. We love you Daddy! We miss you!
