Halloween Nightmare

No one told us that we were moving into the Halloween Subdivision.
There were so many cars and trick or treaters down our street that it was almost frightening. Like 30-35 at your door at one time. We turned all the lights off once we ran out and gave away 300+ pieces of candy(it was all done in about 15-20 minutes). The kids had never been able to pass out candy before because we were never home to do it, so they enjoyed it too.

But the next morning this is what we found on our block wall. I guess it is to be expected living in a corner house. Why do punks have to ruin other's property?

Halloween 2009

Here are a couple of pictures of the kids this year for Halloween. Emmalee was Sandra Dee from "Grease", Damian was a Mummy (it is fabric not toliet paper like some thought), and Aubrey was Sleeping Beauty.




Crazy Hair Day for School


Damian's crazy hair


Aubrey's crazy hair

Aubrey is 7!

Aubrey turned 7 on October 24th. She had been bugging me to polish her nails. So, her wish came true.

Aubrey's special birthday cake. (It is a butterfly in case you can't tell)


Aubrey loves Texas Roadhouse so she didn't have to twist mom and dad's arms too hard to go there.

Some big guy broke the saddle at Texas Roadhouse so she got to sit in a chair



Opening gifts

Way to go Aubrey

Aubrey earned Student of the Month only 1 month into this school year. She is in 1st grade. Way to go Aubrey!
