My wife sent a picture of "the pumpkins she got for everyone in the family" to my parents. There is an extra pumpkin.
"Cute. Thanks."
I take a photo of everyone holding a pumpkin. My wife is holding two.
"Great photo!"

- I didn't watch the debate. I watched the sunset with my wife and my month old son.
- The great thing about the American middle class is it's narrowly self-defined by a household income of $50-$800k a year.We were in Colorado last week and I was struck by what is now an enormous disparity in wealth between the US and the UK. Spent a couple of nights in a cabin in an RV park - it had pools, slides, mini golf etc, fun for the kids. But the place was packed with RVs worth hundreds
- The baby wouldn't nap and I spent most of the day in the rocking chair. I didn't get anything done, the house is a mess, and I think I solved a cold case murder.
- My wife just sent me a picture of my pickup and told me it's hailing.
- All this guy does is troll Taylor Swift fans. Then he sends the engagement revenue to the Special Olympics. He is a modern day Robin Hood. Stealing from naive to give to the disadvantaged.As a result of everyone’s efforts, over $1600 was raised for the Blount County Special Olympics! Thank you so much to everyone who contributed for your generosity
- A gentleman at our church died. This is not surprising for he was 99. His son brought to church at least five dozen theology books that were first come first serve. I flipped through a dozen of them. All were filled with notes on the margins and highlights. Remarkable faith.
- My wife and I homeschool. And one secondary concern we have had is making sure our kids have friends they can socialize with. It's been hard trying to get our kids together with other kids. But, I just figured it out. Kids don't have friends anymore.
- 5 yo-Can I watch you fix the car? Me: Yes. 5-What are you doing? M-Replacing the timing belt cover. 5-It's important all cars have that. M-Where did you learn about timing belt covers? 5-I just always knew that, ever since I was born I just knew about that part of the car.
- "So you want to sell your house, all your vehicles, cash out your retirement funds and buy a dairy farm in France?" "That's right Dave." "And you have never milked a cow before and you don't speak French?" "I can count to three, and my wife speaks French and likes cheese ."
I came across an ad for a farm on the Western coast of France. 200 acres, herd of 70 Holstein plus commercial flock of chickens. Established dairy business with cheese production and direct sales, currently supports 2 people FT. Cost includes land, house, and cattle. - My wife is very late in her pregnancy and my 9 yo and 7 yo told her she could rest this afternoon. They would make their own lunch. My 7 yo made scrambled eggs.
- The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald auto plays. Me to 8 and 10 year old: "Boys listen to this song, every man loves it." 8 year old: "What don't women like it?" Wife: "Because it's boring."
- Replying to @NevinLawrenceWe try and set up times with other kids for our kids to play, but most of the time the other kids are too busy. They are too busy doing sports, or some other activity. No one gets unstructured free time to just socialize with other kids.
- My two oldest boys tried to wear basketball shorts today. My wife. "No! You will not dress like this. We have to go to piano lessons! You do not dress like that in public! You look like rodeo clowns! What's next? Huh? An electronic cigarette?" They are 8 and 10.
