After Jacqueline got pregnant, they moved to Stapleton with their dog.  Four years later, they have two children.  Life has changed a lot for the Morningstars, from trying out Denver\u2019s hippest new restaurants, to hanging at Noodles.  But all families go through a similar change.  However, no one would have envisioned how low things would get.<!--more-->\n\u201cWe knew we talked about our kids too much,\u201d says Jacqueline.  \u201cWe\u2019d try to talk about other things, but nothing was natural.\u201d  Neighbor Keith Carman agrees.  \u201cWhen we first started hanging out when they moved here, Scott could still talk sports and old girlfriends.  Then, it became work, driving, and then kids.  It went downhill pretty fast, and we didn\u2019t want any part of it.\u201d\nThe lowest point came last Saturday at an impromptu St. Patrick\u2019s Day block get together.  After a few drinks, Jacqueline decided to talk about her big new purchase.  A Kirby vacuum cleaner.  Party-goers were stunned and at a loss for words, and no one was drunk enough to say a funny joke to ease the tension.  One of the neighbor wives politely asked, \u201chow is it working so far?\u201d  Luckily, at that point Jacqueline knew to make the conversation short.  \u201cSo far, we like it.\u201d  Her husband Scott made the poor decision to back her play.  \u201cIt really is a good vacuum, guys.  I am shocked at how well it picks up dog hair.\u201d\nNo one is for certain if the Morningstars will stay in the neighborhood, but everyone is pretty sure it can\u2019t get any worse.  Or can it? ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1846","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-26","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1846\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
