Halloween Slide Show

I'm home on door duty and Aaron is the lucky one with the kids. Sorry the pictures are blurry they were taken with my iphone. Our 2nd camera this year crashed so what you see is what you get.

A picture of Abbie I found from Boo at the Zoo.

Happy Halloween

This year Halloween snuck up on Aaron and I. Somehow we missed the whole buying pumpkins and carving them. We are kind of sad that we forgot this because this is one of the funnest Halloween traditions. We love watching the kids stick their hands in the ooey gooey mess and freaking out. and don't forget...Every parent loves being left with cleaning the kids pumpkins, right?

We tried to get all the kids together for a picture but failed to do so. None of them really wanted their pictures taken. So, three of the four kids isn't bad, right? I don't have a picture of Abbie right now, we'll see if I have one by the end of the night.



My little Mickey Mouse was dodging the camera. Dayton was laughing while I tried to get him to look at the camera, time after time he turned away. He's turned into a little tease.


Jo Jo the clown. Let me ask, does Jo Jo on Jo Jo's circus throw up silly signs during pictures? I don't think so. I think Savannah's telling me that even though I picked out a cute, little clown costume...she is still tough!!!
Ellie is a good sport. She's not to sure she wanted to be a witch this year. I bought the costume last year hoping she would like it. Now that Ellie's into High School Musical, I think she would have rather been Gabriella like the other 100 girls in the neighborhood.
Anyway...
We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween.
From our little ghouls to yours.
Halloween...The Nightmare Before Christmas

Halloween reminds me that there is only....
27 Days until Black Friday... and
Only 55 Days left until Santa Claus comes.....

Wow.

So much has happened since the end of August. I started working...at home even...and still feel like I have no time to myself. I have two kids in my home daycare which apparently is too much since I've had one hospital scare and several close calls. From what I hear, my baby boy is taking up to much of my water supply and leaving me very dehydrated. Anyway, I have a quick second to fill everyone in on some of the events of the last month.

Late September we started finding these huge spiders in our yard. Our next door neighbor says that he has never seen one in the ten years he has lived in his house. Which leaves me asking myself why we are so lucky. I told Aaron I want to put the house up for sale, but he won't budge. Aaron has everyone in the world trying to convince me that spiders are normal. They may be, but not this large in my backyard.


We found out that we are expecting baby boy two. Aaron and I knew what we were naming most of our children before we even knew they were coming. This is not the case this time. Keep us in mind if you hear any unusal names. We are open to any suggestions.



We went to the state fair. For us this is a challenge. We have to walk past all the games and rides, listening to all the begging and moaning, and get through the obstacle without giving in to the children. As they get older they think that just seeing the animals is not enough.



Ellie was baptized. This was a very exciting event for our family and especialy for Ellie. Ellie was thrilled that her dad baptized her and that she was able to be baptized with her Aunt Kimberly. We had a wonderful day.



Savannah started Kindergarten September 26. Her teacher is Mrs. Betsy. We've made it through Savannah's first Parent teacher Conference with no complaints. We thought Savannah would be a wild child but she is actually very shy at school. At the end of October Savannah has to pass off her letters and sounds. I'm sure she'll pass with flying colors.

Well, that's about all I have time for. I have to get back to my kids and the daycare kids. We love you all!
