This Is Us

On Halloween, when we were on our way to Brichette's school for her parade, we saw the most beautiful sunrise. My camera didn't quit capture all the color... The clouds were so Yellow, and fluffy... It was just gorgeous. Brichette and Xander were so excited about it that they had me take picture after picture after picture. I told them it was enough, but they didn't want me to stop. They wanted to make sure I had enough pictures that they could remember it forever. The things kids say!!! Anyway this is the first shot we saw of it, and then the yellow color started to fade. It's amazing how quickly sunrises and sunsets change. Here are a couple others:

We had a great Halloween this year, other than me being sick. And for the record... I'm still sick, it stinks! I made dinner for us, my parents, Nick parents, and my sister and her family. I made mummy dogs (hot dogs with crescent rolls wrapped around them. They turned out really good. Thanks Mom and Dad for helping get them done. I started late, so they helped me to get them done faster. We ate, and then went Trick-Or-Treating. The best part of all, was our transportation. Nick got the 4-wheeler ready the night before, he put a hitch on it, and hooked the trailer to it. We put blankets, pillows, and the kids' bean bag sacks on there. It was so much fun. I think the kids enjoyed riding more than they did getting the candy. Thanks Nick for a great idea, and a fun Halloween. Once we were done, we went back home and watched Scooby Doo and the Goblin King. We Popped popcorn with our maker, and ate candy. It was so much fun. I still didn't feel very good, so I didn't get ver...

So the night before Halloween we carved our pumpkins. I wasn't feeling well, so I didn't get very many pictures, and I didn't get a single one of the pumpkins glowing. I hate being sick!!! Before I started feeling crappy, I made dinner. The kids wanted pancakes, so I decided to make them fun. I turned them into pumpkin pancakes. They still tasted like normal pancakes, I just separated it out and colored a little bit black, and the rest orange. I think they turned out pretty cute, and the kids loved them. Brichette's pumpkin had a rose carved into it, Xander had R2-D2 (that was very, very hard to do, especially when your sick), and Nick did Yoda. He said that one was a big pain in the neck too! Hopefully next year I won't get sick, and will get some more pictures.

On Friday, I took the morning off so I could go to Brichette's Halloween Parade at her school. Nick was going to but then they told him that the roof on the house had to be done by Friday. So Nick assumed that meant that he couldn't take the morning off and went into work. When he got there his boss looked at him and said "What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming in until 10:00 or so?" Nick told him that he thought the roof had to be done so that's why he came in. So we weren't very happy about Nick missing it. Lorena, Xander and I went inside, after dropping Brichette off with her class. We saved my parent's a seat, and waited for them. The night before I had asked my mom if she wanted me to give her a wake-up call, and she said "No. I should be fine. I'll set the alarm, and your day is working from home." I said okay and left it at that. About 10 minutes before her parade started they still weren't there. So I called th...

A couple of weeks ago we went to the Zoo for their annual "Boo At The Zoo!". We got there a little late, but still had lots of fun. They have trick-or-treating, and most of the animals are active because it's such nice weather. We were pulling in the drive-way and I looked back at the kids and saw Xander with his foot out the window, just chillin'. It was very funny. Here is a slide with the pictures.

Okay... get ready for some catch-up!!! =D Are you ready??? Here it comes!!!
