I’ve decided to start posting things to twitter. One cool thing about twitter is its level of integration with other sites. I can post something there and have it automatically show up on this blog. It gets posted to my facebook status as well.
You can follow my twitter comments directly:

Or you can just check my blog here now and then. I’ll post all the hairy messes Matthew makes!

For Thanksgiving, we had lots of fun with all our Muhlestein brothers and sisters.

Who is this?
And here is Ally.
Here is the rest of our kids:
Well, after the Trick-or-treat adventures we had lots of candy. Even after I made the boys pay taxes (about 10%), they still had plenty of candy. Too much candy does bad things to kids.
We may skip Halloween next year.

This weeks news comes from Scott, Dallin and Tim.
Scott:
Last week I went on a motorcycle ride. The trail was very bumpy so I crashed seven or eight times. On the third time, I cried. And I cried every time after that crash. Finally, we stopped to rest. We ate two fruit snacks and two cookies and a drink of water and took some pictures. There was a stream there and some trees so we made leaf boats to see which boats could float the longest. Then started back down. It was easier than up but I crashed the seventh and eighth times. But then we made it to the end and drove back home. The end.
Dallin:
I got to go to BYU. It was fun. I got ice cream. I got to go with Grandma. I liked it. I liked getting ice cream. It was cold. I like the ice cream.
I got to go to Clone Wars. It was cool. I saw Anakin and Obi One. I liked it. The end.

We loved the Odyssey but it ran out of space. We had no room to car pool and give rides. It was a little tight when we traveled and had luggage too.
Soo.. disregarding the expense of driving a gas guzzling SUV, we opted to sell the Van and purchased a 2004 Chevy Suburban. Now we can give 9 people a ride all at the same time. We also get to spend $100 (or more) filling up the tank. At least Gayla doesn’t have to pick the kids up every day from school now!

Gayla is a little spoiled lately. She got new laundry room cabinets. Last week on Saturday we went to iKea at 6:30 or so and got home at 9:30 with enough cabinets to hang around two wall in our laundry room. At 1:00 am Sunday morning, I had the molding, a corner cabinet, and some other hanging stuff worked out. Sunday, I was too tired to write any news letters/blog posts or anything else.
After patiently letting our children play all over the boxes in our living room, and Matthew turning the office floor pink, we were able to get the rest of the cabinets hung by about 11:00pm Monday night. I still need to put some knobs on and apply painters caulk along the molding but it didn’t take long at all for all those cabinets to be stuff clear full of all the junk that used to be on the floor, shelf or wall. It truly is a nicer place in there. Gayla told me in return she’d do some ironing now and then.

Having all boys for the last 8 years has taken it’s toll on the color scheme of our house. It was blue. With Ally’s arrival, we’ve finally introduced a bit of pink into the mix. Matthew must have got the pink bug too, he’s taken it upon himself to help bring even more pink into our household. Here are a few of the things that Matthew has helped to turn pink.
Last week while trying to get our office straightened out after we had piled up all the laundry room stuff in there while installing laundry room cabinets, we were sidetracked long enough to let Matthew find the ink refill kit for our printer cartridges. He somehow managed to open the incredibly tight capped red ink container and made it half way across the office floor before we recognized the problem. Our special spot remover, the carpet cleaner, and Grandma’s special spot remove weren’t enough to help all those little spots go from red back to our carpet’s yellowish color. Instead, it’s now pink there. I suppose I’ll have to cut up some carpet chunks and replace them with spare carpet we have kicking around somewhere. During the mean time, we’ve placed the office chair over the biggest pink spot.
I should add that while we were attempting to clean the carpet, Matthew found a way to wash his hands with wood polish. That wasn’t pink though.
For whatever reason, Matthew decided to react to something by throwing up his food last night. This morning we found two large pink spots by his door. There were a lot of peanuts mixed in but I managed to clean those up pretty good. I got most of the throwup out but the carpet there is still a little pink. I’m more hopeful for this area though. Perhaps a good carpet shampoo can turn the rest back to the correct color.
Of all the markers in the other boys color kits, why would Matthew pull the pink one out. Luckily, we caught this before it went too far. He only managed to turn some of his face pink before we ruined his color party.
If they ever invent straight jackets for two year olds, we’ll be getting a hot pink one for Matthew.

Tomorrow, I start work for Ubixum, Inc. I’ll be writing software to run on little circuit boards that help control the flow of data for digital sensors that can be used in cameras and other applications. I’ll also work on software to connect to those devices and manage the images etc.
Anyway, I’m excited to begin this new adventure and I think I’ll have a lot of fun and learn a lot in the process.
