Thanks, Clark, for your wise words of wisdom.

My "Bat" Man

After putting the kids to bed the other night (Kate and Enoch in our room, Mia and Aidan in the library), I was holding Ava and talking to Scott about something, when, right in front of me, comes this huge flying thing! I scream, and Scott hits the floor (my brave protector). It flew into our room, where Kate nearly shattered every window with her scream (if she sees an ant, she'll scream so loud you can hear it across the street, if that helps you picture the ear-piercing scream a LARGE object would create). Enoch came running out of the bedroom, screaming like a girl (a NORMAL girl scream, not like Kate's), which of course got Amelia and Aidan screaming THEIR heads off, although they didn't know WHY, yet. Well, it wasn't a bird, and from the title, surely you've guessed that count dracula paid us a visit in his flying form (at least that's what Enoch tried to convince the others). I grabbed the camera, Scott grabbed a laundry basket, and the kids grabbed each other. Ava, on the other hand, just roamed the house, hoping someone had left her a morsel of cookie somewhere. The kids were convinced she would be maimed and killed, and Scott kept repeating that it might have rabies (thanks for calming the kids down, Scott), as for me, I just wanted a really good picture of it. Hey! Hopefully, we won't get this chance very often! Scott kept yelling at me to get the stepstool so he could catch it (it had attached itself to the ceiling vent), while I kept yelling that I needed to get another picture because he wasn't smiling in the last one. Needless to say, Scott was not amused. We caught it in the laundry basket, and took it outside where it flew off (and probably right back into our house again).

Just another night at the Hepworth's!!

What's in YOUR wallet (or pocket)?

While picking up Enoch's jeans from the floor, I noticed they weigh about 5 lbs more than HE does. I went digging (and digging, and digging) through his pockets and here is what I found:

1 tube of Snow White chapstick

7 Yu-Gi-Oh cards

1 tube of medicated Blistex

1 post-it note (folded 4 times) revealing a girls drawing of balloon hearts

1 bright orange piece of scrap paper, crumpled up, with the equation 16 x 7 = 112

1 postcard sized piece of cardstock with the beginning drawing of a very nice bird, on the flip side it appears to be crumbs from a million candy bars

A cut-out advertisement for 50% off "Dew Drop" Roses Stems (Reg. $.99)

A pair of fingernail clippers (that we have been looking for for weeks now)

Two medium sized stones

3 heavy metal washers (the circle kind, not the kind you put clothes in- although judging by the weight of his jeans, I wouldn't have been surprised to find that in there as well)

1 blue crayon,oh, pardon me, it's cerulean

1/2 of a watch band

A scout belt loop for archery (no doubt to impress others with)

7 cut-out pictures of various types of jewelry hearts

2 jolly rancher wrappers

1 part of a candy bar wrapper

1 EXTREMELY heavy gold metal type (although Enoch tells me that the friend he traded with assures him it is pure gold) Pokemon card

A folded magazine page advertising a Colts Sports Watch for only three monthly installments of $35!!

A folded magazine page advertising the Complete 8-Coin Year Set of Uncirculated Golden Dollars- Limited Availability! Act Now!!

His wallet (Scott's old eel skin wallet), which contains:

A note from Dakota to Brooke saying, "Brooke, No, I don't like Ashley anymore. She's trying to blame everything that happend (sic) yesterday on me. Randy is always weird. love, Dakota";

A post-it note with some book recommendations from the lady that works at the bookstore- Author, TA Barron- The Lost of Merlin & The Great of Avalon;

Another post-it with more book recommendations- Author R.A. Salvatore- Homeland, Exile, & Sojurn (3 different books);

A "love note" written on black space paper with a white crayon that reads: "To: My Sweet heart, You take me out of my world. XOXO, Tori" On the back is drawn in red crayon a pair of lips and a heart with an arrow through it. The paper has been folded and unfolded so many times, it's falling apart.

A note folded into a teeny tiny square, hidden deep inside the wallet from Enoch that says, "Tori, would you get mad if I don't go out with you for five years?" To which she replied, "no, it's not your falt (sic)."

Another teeny tiny square, hidden equally as well that reads, "It's ok. I'll wait for (picture of a heart) U (picture of a heart)"

Another post-it note tucked away. One side reads, "Did you hear what happend (sic)? Circle on Yes No " with the "No" circled. The other side reads, in what appears to be Enoch's handwriting, "Don't kill Austin, pleas (sic)! Well then ask him if we can be friends"

A pink post-it folded along with the last one that reads (not in Enoch's handwriting) "ask her back out" to which Enoch replied "No." then the word "Why"

Two nickles and two pennies


So, let my kids be warned: If it's laying around (or hidden where you think I'll never find it) you better believe I'm going to read it.

So, what's in YOUR wallet?

Who Fathered Aidan?

Like Ava's nose? No, it's not a cold- it's the result of the pediatrician's office. While sliding down their slide, she did a face-plant right onto the carpet. She only had a red scrape the rest of that day, but when she woke up the next morning, there was this giant SCAB right on the end of her nose. How attractive!

The other day Aidan came up to me and told me that the other kids were really "fathering" him. What?! I replied, not understanding. He was trying to watch a kids show when they kept being loud and "fathering" him. You want to know how horrible of a parent I am? I told Scott he couldn't correct him yet, because I wanted him to sound cute just a little longer.

Yep. They'll all probably end up on Oprah someday, telling how I ruined them forever.
