There is just something about NOVEMBER 5th!

Yep, that's right...you are looking at MY CHRISTMAS TREE!!! Two years ago, I put my tree up on November 5th and loved it! Bryce however did not! Last year I waited until after Thanksgiving, but didn't get to enjoy it long enough! So yesterday, my friend Ashley called, she was putting up her tree. Then I thought I really need to get mine up too! And while Bryce is gone so he doesn't have a say in the matter! So here it is...November 5th and that is
My Christmas Tree!!!

I Voted!

I really quick just wanted to add a little post, I voted last week in the early voting. I stood in line for one hour fifteen minutes! I really wanted to be sure that I would have time to vote in this election. Even though the person I voted for did not win... I still feel proud to be an American!

Update on Oakley!

All is well with her tonsils and adenoids! We had her follow up appointment yesterday, and she is doing great! I had heard tons of horror stories, but truthfully, it wasn't that bad! The first two days with the throwing up wasn't fun, but after that, it was smooth sailing! Thanks to all who cared!

The Rest of Halloween!

Halloween is over! :( boo hoo! We had a blast...lots going on! If you haven't guessed by now... Kaybree was a Cheerleader, and Oakley was Word Girl! (in a super girl costume!) Kaybree and Oakley both had parties at school. Kaybree's class had a parade! (So Darn Cute!) They both had parties at dance, and then of course trick or treating! Too much fun! Can't wait until next year! I already have our costumes figured out!!!
Kaybree's kindergarten class, I helped with the party! Kaybree's Dance!

Halloween Party at Grandma and Grandpa's House!




Every year, my parents have a Halloween party out in the garage! It is sooo much fun! First, we had dinner...then, my mom read Halloween stories to the kids. Then we bobbed for donuts! Oakley was not too fond of that idea! After donuts, we had a mummy contest. It was lots of fun!! Thanks Mom and Dad!!!

Another Trip to Gardner Village!

My good friend from high school came to town. So what else do you do but go to Gardner Village?! We had lots of fun! Let me just tell you how creative she is...she made her kids costumes! She did the "Wizard Of Oz" theme...Glinda the good witch, Dorothy, and the Scarecrow! She is amazing! I bought my kids' costumes at target...a Cheerleader and Super Girl! Thanks for the fun Melinda! We found the "Chocolate Witch" now we just need our Diet Coke!

Oakley's Field Trip to the Pumpkin Patch!!

Unhappy Hauntings!!!

I have found TWO black widow spiders in our garage this week!!! Eeeewwwww!!! I HATE spiders with a passion!! The first spider was hanging from the garage door. I had been loading up my car with stuff and probably passed it five times before I saw it right at eye level!!! ahhhhh!!! It totally could have landed in my hair or something!! yuck!! This is a picture of the second one. I wouldn't get too close, so I zoomed in as much as I could from a safe distance!!! You have to understand....I am having such a hard time writing this post because I despise spiders sooo much!!! Do you think I need to call an exterminator???? I have sprayed my whole house with "Home Defense" but I have no idea if I need to do more?!?!?!

The Things We Do For Our Kids!

This weekend we had our friends from Huntington here. We decided to go to Gardner Village and see the witches again. It happened to be Wee Witches Weekend and the place was packed! We decided to go feed the ducks, we were on the little deck in front of Pine Needles, Kaybree climbed up on the railing and leaned over just a little too far. Her brand new glasses fell right into the pond! First I went into the store to see if someone had a hook or hanger...anything that I could fish the glasses out with! Of course nothing! Well, I took off my shoes, took off my socks, and climbed over the railing. I thought that maybe I'd be able to reach the glasses without actually getting in, but, no go. I couldn't reach. So with one hand desperately gripping the railing, I stepped into the pond. With pond scum and pond moss oozing between my toes, I reached down and grabbed the glasses! eewwww! I handed the glasses up and climbed back over!! When I was back up on the deck, I said, "That was fun!" Some lady that was standing nearby watching said, "Well it was for me and the rest of your audience!"
The things we do for our kids!
Ashley has pictures. As soon as she emails them to me I'll post them!
