Tooth=$100.00

My kid "yeah I lost my tooth at school today"


Me "Oh did you pull it or did it just come out"


My Kid "I wiggled it and wiggled it and it just came out."


Me " did it hurt? was there blood?"


My Kid " Yeah it did bleed a lot, but don't worry mom I still


have enough blood left in my body to live."


Me " Well that's a relief."


My Kid "Yeah, do you think the tooth fairy will leave me $100.00 dollars?"


Me "uuh No."

Pumkin Carving

Nate had a pumkin carving party at school. It was fun we carved, then all the little school kids got up and sang some songs. I forgot my camera! I think Nate did a good job on his pumkin. He drew and I carved, no knives for 5 year olds. Safety first!!

Sunday Snow Day!

Saturday we woke up to a surprise(for me anyway) of snow. Lots of snow. Unfortunately I had to work so we could not go play in the snow until Sunday. Fortunately the snow was still on the ground Sunday so here are the pics of the kids playing in the snow. Nate and Ella had quite the snowball fight while I refereed from the safe (warm) fort headquarters aka the house!!

Happy Birthday Girls!

Wishing all the October girls, Anna, Emily and Robin a very happy birthday!

Halloween Costumes

Halloween is in 2o days, my kids costumes are almost complete. They can't wait for candy of course. This year we are going to decorate our pumpkins instead of carving. Nate wants to do a witch, a mummy, and a vampire pumpkin.

We will see how that all goes.

I love making decorations and making part of my kids costumes. Just getting everything ready for Halloween is so much fun. To get in the mood I decided to post some old Halloween pics.



Nathan's first Halloween. He is four months in this picture. He was such a chunk!!



Nate's 2nd Halloween, he was still liking the lions.

Ella's 1st Halloween. I thought she made a pretty cute princess Leia. Of course it took her all of two seconds to destroy my beautiful yarn buns!!!

Nate was a pirate two years in a row so his costume was really easy to do.

Last year's Halloween. Ella was a 50's girl and Nate wanted to be a power ranger. I was a little sad that he did not want me to make his costume. Ella's turned out really nice though.
I fell so in love with this picture I blew it up and framed it!! And that is all of Halloween past.

This year Nate is going to be a member of the S.W.A.T. team and Ella is going to be a fairy princess. I will be sure to post the pictures.

Catching up!

There is not enough hours in the day to get everything I want done, done. We are always go, go, go, so busy right now. I feel like I will never catch up on family, friends, the laundry, house cleaning, or blogging. Hopefully things will start to slow down here in a bit. Nate only has two more soccer games and the last day at my first/old job is Friday. I can't wait for some down time.Wouldn't be nice to have down time here? Or if you could sleep like this for about a week?
