soooo - one thing i didn't tell you yet was that during family sharing / church time there was a few options of what opeople could do - one of them was carve a pumpkin (i think the options were for the ADD portion of our family) - i carved out a great mouth and then mom was carving out the nose and the knife slipped and she sliced the top of her thumb and two tendons! she had to go get stiches and now she has to have hand surgery!!! AHHHHHHHHHHH we were screwed! there was a big thanksgiving lunch to be made and no mother to prepare it! us kids had to pull together, i worked the hardest out of all of us of course!
