Halloween 2010

Well this Halloween came up pretty quick this year. Both kids figured out what they wanted to be early on, so that made life easy. I just had to buy the fabric and my sister, Kristine did all the costume sewing and the costumes turned out amazing!!!!! Both kids looked great and loved their costumes. Austin went as Dr Robinson and added the touch of the stereoscope and the official look of the glasses himself. Sydney went as Dorothy, in ruby red slippers and a basket with Toto and all.. I took the kids for the first part of the night trick of treating in the RAIN and very cold, which was not too fun, but they had a blast. Esp when Micah found a church building with trunk or treat, and raided it with the kids, they got loooooaded up!!! Jeremy handed out candy, full dressed with his creepy mask. We decked out the house pretty good, but had a minor over usage of one of the electrical outlets!! opppps.. But the house looked good. Then when it was Jeremy's turn to go with the kids, it stopped raining and they did a couple more blocks.. So all in all.. another WONDERFUL Halloween!!!!

Funny Conversation

I can say my kids are pretty typical, Austin is such a boy and Sydney can be sooo girlie at times. The kids were talking about what we were going to do for after school tomorrow,
so I say: "Well if you get done all your homework today, we can do something fun after school tomorrow. What do you want to do?"
Sydney: "Chuck E Cheese" (which is my least fave place, so probably not LOL!!)
Austin: "Sky diving"
Me: "No I don't think so"
Sydney: "No, cuz then my earrings might fall out!!!!"

I couldn't help but laugh.

We got a WOLF in the house

Well tonight we had a great accomplishment tonight. Austin got his WOLF award. He has been working really hard this summer to get everything done and finally got it all finished. He also got: 1 gold arrow point, 6 silver arrow points, and 10 belt loops!!! Way to go little buddy. Austin was sooo excited and looking forward to this pack meeting for quite awhile. Since school's been out, we started to work to get everything done and have made the effort to get everything up to date. I also received the parent wolf pin and got pinned by Austin. I am sooo proud of all his hard work and excitement for the scout program.

Receiving the mom pin:
