Thank you all. as I said even with all their issues they are still so good and decent at heart, I am very thankful to be in a position to allow them to bloom into everything they can be.

cassiesmom yes actually the boyz want to dress up this year, we will be hosting a small party as where I live isn't all the best neighborhoods to trick or treat after dark. Would rather 30 kids here having fun with supervision than worrying myself to death about the dark alleys. (Alton in and of itself is beautiful but it is only 15 minutes from St.Louis) So, since the rule was last year no trick or treating it stands this year.

In reply to your PM Candace no Alex is in protective custody in Az. our case there is going well and he will soon be healthy enough to come home , we are hoping for Xmas but the Dr.s and Lawyers think closer to Feb. he was less than 40 pounds when Az finally took him from his birth mom
and yes she is in jail as far as we know..ahe recieved a sentence of 14 months for endangerment and neglect.

As far as what to get them for xmas LMAAO FOOD man can these guys eat.thinking of buying a cow just for the milk........and maybe buying stock in costco?
