Isaac draws a giraffe

This kid just loves to draw and he is trying really hard to get it right, this is the second giraffe he drew (in the first one he couldn't figure out where to draw the trunks). Anyway, we looked up a picture of a giraffe, no trunks, and I think he did awesome.

fourth folder, fourth photo

okay, this is the 4th 4th picture, it is from a Halloween party in 2003. The two people we still hang out with are Doug on the right and the guy in the hat is Tom.

This is also from the same party, I think it's a better representation of Jake, Spencer, Doug, and Tom. I believe at that time they would have been playing ATV Off Road Fury: Hockey. This was a funny thing to do, thanks Megan. Okay I tag Gina, as long as you have finished what you need to finish.

School Pictures!

Isaac got his school pictures back today, his first school pictures ever, and they came out so great!

And now, Halloween pictures

A joker-esque face on batman
These brief picture taking moments were the only times Kaitlyn would wear the hat
Still, she was pretty happy to be a princess witch
This is an action shot of batman
Here he is actually pretty happy, and I believe that is the hoof of a big horned sheep in the background.

And no, I could not get a decent picture of the two of them together. Their brains were addled by the expectation of candy candy candy.

This last post is why I pay taxes.
I pay taxes because I want to be an American, not just because of the accident of where I was born, but because I bought and paid for this great country. It is mine and I own it, at least a part of it. I know that I do not pay as much as someone who earns more then $250,000 a year, but is my contribution really so small that the government, my government, counts it as nothing at all? I sincerely hope that the people are asked again before our right to own a piece of this great country is taken away. I, for one, cherish my freedom to stand tall as a stock holder in my own country.
Maybe it is time for me to be the change I expect to see.

Ahh, the political rant,
I have much to say, but I am not sure that all of my unrest needs spewed to everyone else, here goes.

Rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant rant.

I feel better.

I will say one thing about Katie Couric. After McCain's concession speech she said something to the effect that we must remember that there were valid reasons to support McCain that were not about race.
Thanks Katie, for tacitly calling all republicans racist for the whole campaign. Thanks for letting conservatives off the hook now that McCain has conceded defeat. Great, politics of fear not being touted by either campaign, but by the media.
I have not been trusting the media to be unbiased, but I had thought there were no lines the media would not cross in pursuit of a story, not even the position of loyal American troupes stuck in the invasion of a hostile country. But no there is a line, it's a half-black man endorsed by Oprah Winfrey.

And then finally : Socialism?!?

I have not felt like posting anything for awhile for a few reasons. First I was very excited to post about my birthday and my lovely Imac, but than, the day after my birthday our house was burgled. I did not think I could recover from the loss of 16 months of pictures, almost all of Kaitlyn's life, gone on the skateboard of a teenager already on probation for criminal deeds. And four year old Isaac afraid to sleep because bad men, who looked like mice with red eyes, would come to take his things and his doggie blanket. However, now as our old lost things are being replaced with brand new things the grieving process for material possessions has come to an end. The second reason I have not felt like posting is that I have many political rants festering in the recesses of my brain, for that I turn to post 2 of 3.
