mr snick was telling me that he was going to Decatur today (~1.5hr drive) and minisnick's reply from across the room was oh so you are going to be home late tonight.

My wife melted down all of the extra/broken crayons that we had around the house into Halloween cookie molds and had enough to hand out as multi-color Halloween crayons for my daughter's class of 23 students. now that they are gone, I'm sure we will be replenishing our supply...

I'd like to update the pants situation:
Our kid didn't want to wear the jeans that morning and I explained to him that they loosen as he wears them. He was not having that. That evening he put on the jeans (because I tricked him) and he wore them around and they finally eased in. Turns out the jeans fit fine and he was just freaking out. Apparently he's struggling being one of the biggest kids in class (he's tall and dense). I had to point out that his pants fit tight on the quads at first because he bikes everywhere and he's got more muscle than the other kids (which he does). I didn't think I'd have to have a body image talk with my third grade son.

Sounds like my son. We had to buy him 5T pants, he won't be 4 until Feb, so they would be long enough and then just cinch them down with a belt.

^ yep. He needs the 5t or 5 for the length but the adjustable waistband is pulled as far as it will go and they still fall off his butt.
he still fit in 3t shorts this past summer...tiny waisted, long torso and legs

Got tickets for Marvel Universe Live this weekend for mini-ble1 and me. He's big time into superheros and I'm sure he's going to have a blast. It's been a while since we've done something together without the rest of the family, so I'm looking forward to it.

unless it is the ringling brothers 3 ring circus I wouldn't bother. we have seen the ringling bros 1 ring circuses that tend to hit the smaller towns and they suck. We saw the 3ring one called Dragon in STL a year or so ago and it was great!

I'll let you know. The reviews I've read seem to say that it's awesome. Thanks for the reminder about the circus. We took mini-ble1 a couple of years ago when it was in town, but we haven't taken mini-ble2 yet. I'll take a look at the schedule and see if it works.

I reminder with those with babies With ringling bros if you sign up your kid before their first birthday (copy of birth cert if i remember correctly) they will get a coupon for free ticket to any ringling bros circus...you just have to buy the tickets at the local box office, no ticket master or other online place.
I have no idea how big it is, can't find that info anywhere. Reading Ticketmaster reviews, its everything from "this is the best circus I've ever seen" to "my kid had more fun eating his dinner at Texas Roadhouse"...

legends would be 3 ring (from the pictures, they are reusing a lot of stuff from the Dragon show). Built to amaze looks like 1 ring.
Since my girlfriend used to be in work for the circus, I've learned more than I ever thought I would about Ringling Bros.
There are now three Ringling tours. Two train-based shows which are called the Red Tour and the Blue Tour. These are full-fledged three-ring circuses. They are on a two year schedule so I believe they alternate cities each year. Then there is the truck-based Gold Tour, which is the one you want to avoid.
Supe, you're on the Blue tour this year. Should be a good show!

I've seen the train! I waved so hard my arm nearly popped off. It was amazing to see in person and I haven't been to a circus since I was five.

I remember chatting with my friend about the size of the sleeping cars and we had a co-worker with us and the poor girl got picked on because of here height already but once he heard how small the beds were (or something like that), he made fun of her some much worse... all out of love of course
