Ok - I'm getting behind in blogging. My computer is failing me lately, and I'm in lap top limbo until my new mac book comes! Yes, it was time. I have completely filled up the start up disc on this computer, the mouse pad has stopped working, and the battery will no longer hold a charge. I'm pretty sure that these are all things that can be fixed, so I'm planning on getting them fixed after I get the new mac book. That way, I'll be happy with my sleek new silver lap top, and I can fix up this old ibook for young Jacks. He'll be computer savvy in no time at all!
Anyway, his birthday slide show will have to wait until the new computer comes, the iphoto library gets transferred, and I don't have pop up warnings every 5 minutes that my start up disc is almost full. I don't have the patience. So, in the meantime, enjoy these quick pics from the Annual Durkin Pumpkin Carve, that my cousin KJ held yesterday afternoon.
A good time was had by all. Unfortunately, we had to cut the afternoon short when Jacks had a melt down over a pepto bismal pink cowboy hat that his friend Patrick was wearing and enjoying, and Jacks was vocally coveting and adoring. Patrick was willing to share for a while, but when it came time to give it back, Jacks lost his shit for the last time. We had to carry him to the car kicking and screaming while trying to graciously thank everyone for a lovely time. We also left with a pair of Mr. Potato Head glasses that Jacks insisted on shoving onto his face. He happily wore them all the way home. Maybe the terrible twos will stay subdued for a little longer at the next Halloween party. We'll see........
These girls stayed sweet and well behaved the whole time!

Here is that hat.
And the glasses....
I think the melt down started when he had to give up the baseball bat at the pinata. He was just getting used to the feel of it when he had to give someone else a turn. He wasn't cool with that....
Jacks and Patrick were getting along so well before that hat came along.
Oh - and I told Lisa I would post one of her recipes on here. She brought a super yummy corn dip to the party that Heidi and I couldn't get enough of. So, here it is:
Lisa's Fiesta Corn Dip
2 cans of fiesta corn
1 cup of mayo
1 cup of sour cream
2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
1 bunch of green onions, chopped fine
combine ingredients and serve with tortilla chips!
