Things I'm Thankful for...

My friend Amy posted things she was thankful for last year during the month of November. I thought this was a great idea. I may do things a bit differently but for my first thankful post...I'm thankful when children listen and obey.

Halloween

Time to put up the pictures from Halloween. To tell you the truth I didn't get Jacob or BriLynns pictures taken till today. What can I say...I forgot to take them. I did get the older kids done since they wore their costumes to school. I was so excited to have BriLynn wear this flower baby costume. Kevin's Mom and I made it (mostly Kevin's Mom, I'm no good at sewing) Danika wore it when she was seven months old.Whenever I said to smile this is what she didHere is Jacob about to take flight as Superman.Luke and Max after Preschool. (I hope you don't mind me posting this Heather)Danika went as a cat, you can't see her whiskers in the picture. Andrew the power ranger. I found his costume at the DI for four bucks.I think it is awesome that the Principal dressed up. One cool Elvis if you ask me!Just some cute pictures of the kids as we waited for the parade to start.

I'm curious about what you guys do your kids Halloween Candy. I was talking with some friends at lunch today and one friend said they would get twenty pieces and have to put the rest away. I just let the kids eat whatever they want. Usually they get sick after a few pieces. What do you do?

Just Precious!

This Monday my sister Shelly had a baby boy. They named him Drayson. He is tiny, weighing in at 5 lbs 13 oz. Well maybe that isn't really tiny but I've never had a baby that small. He is a miricle baby. My sister was on birth control. They had been trying for years and gave up. She went in to the doctor to see if her birth control needed to be changed since her body was doing funny things and found out she was prego. This little one came nine years after his sister.I can't wait to meet the little guy this weekend. I'm also excited for my niece Destiny. She is my twin sister Susan's daughter, she is going to be baptised on Halloween.

Awards and Advice

 
Posted by Picasa

Today in the mail the kids received their awards for completing the Governors summer reading challenge. I was excited to see that they received coupons for free kids meals to McDonald's, Sizzlers, Red Robin and Chuck A-Rama. Call me cheap but I can't spend three bucks for a corn dog kids meal when I can make them one at home for 25 cents. Hence why we rarely take our children out to eat. It will be nice to have them eat for FREE :)
Tonight as the kids were getting ready for bed Kevin asked them if they had brushed their teeth. Luke said he did. We knew he was lying and so Kevin gave him this wise advice:
Kevin: Do you know what happens to liars?
Luke: No
Kevin: Have you ever heard of liar liar?
Luke: No
Kevin: If you lie, your pants will burst into flames.

LIKE TOTALLY!

We have noticed a problem in our home. The word "like". Both Kevin and I have caught ourselves saying it more than we thought we did. Tonight as we sat around the table for dinner we challenged the kids to not use it unless it was properly used. It was like totally said, like so many times when it like didn't need to be HA HA. Are there words you find yourself using improperly? Or phrases that have become habit? I find myself using "umm" and "so" a lot also. This is something I'm going to have to work on. So if ever you are talking to me and notice me saying them, just pinch me.

You know your tired when...

You stay asleep while your little sister bounces up and down on you and pulls your ear.
Or...you fall asleep at the table like this.

A night of Buccaneers, Booty and Bloodshed

We went to a friends home for a Halloween Murder Mystery party this last Saturday. It was titled Murder Among the Mateys. Kevin was the Cutthroat McPhearson and I was a Galley Wench named Gurglin' Uma Scarr. The only sad thing about the night was that BriLynn would scream whenever she saw Kevin. Poor girl, I think it was his teeth. I scored the high heal boots at DI for four bucks. The top I got online at eBay for 99 cents. It was fun to dress up and act out our parts. Before we left Danika kept calling me a pirate wrench.
