Never Too Cold for Custard!

Despite the sub-arctic temperature, Hazel insisted on going to Daddio's favorite Custard shop in Manitou.

Update to Chris' Wish List

Mail appears to be taking much longer than before, so I am going to start sending Christmas stuff next week.

Here are a few additions to the original list (which is reprinted below):

-Cigars

-A reading light

-Christmas stuff :)

Chris also requested that we stop sending him so much candy (Oops, I am guilty here) and instead opt for some healthier snacks so he doesn't weigh down the plane on the way home :)

Here's his address:

CPT Chris Calway

HHD, 1STB 1/4 ID

APO AE 09355

Here's are some favorite items, which I know he (and his buddies, if he shares) will enjoy:

• Homemade treats: cookies, brownies, Rice crispy treats (Chris' fave), pumpkin bread, etc
• Protein bars: power bar, cliff bars, etc (chocolate covered ones are okay in the winter)
• Trail mix: the Trader Joe's ones are very popular
• Razors: any kind, disposable, replacement, whatever
• Body wash
• Loofahs (yes, even guys use them :)
• Lip balm (very popular)
• Crystal light, propel, gatorade H20 flavor packets
• Coffee (ground for regular coffee makers)
• Funny little toys like squirt guns, nerf guns, joke things
• Sports stuff (NE teams of course!)
• Holiday items: christmas lights, stockings, etc

I'll update the list periodically as Chris sends me requests!

Little Gnome Heads to School

"When I get big. . . " Quote of the Day

Hazel has been telling me all about "when she gets big." I get a kick out of it every day so I thought I'd share them with you.

While doing the dishes today, Hazel informed me that:

"When I get big, I'm going to use the danger light by the sink."

Posing for one last shot before night night!

When I Get Big I'm Gonna Get Married

Hazel to Mommy: "Why are you and Daddy married?"

Mommy: "So we could have you and be a family."

H: "Oh. . . I'm not married? I'm gonna be married when I get bigger and I'll get hugs and kisses and flowers."

M: "When you get bigger. . ."

H: "I'm 3, so I'm a big girl, so I can get married, right? I can get married now!"

Oh dear!
