Prepare to be Amazed....

Prepare to be amazed. No seriously. Look what my mom did this year...










So I know that was a lot of pictures, but I just couldn't stop uploading them and I couldn't choose because they were all so cute. We were supposed to go to church tonight but we really were running out of time and we still had not eaten yet blah blah blah. So we went to the mall to trick or treat and the kids had so much fun. THey were definitely a hit and everyone loved their costumes. The foreign people at the "Dead Sea Miracle" stand were totally in awe of them and took pictures like teh paparazzi. Micah and I couldn't believe how they were taking pictures of them in all different angles. They must not have Halloween in their neck of the earth. We ate there too and then packed in the car to go to the neighbors houses. THey just had such a great time that it was really a lot of fun.

We also had a party in Gabe's class that I headed up. It was also a good time. We did a couple crafts and had some good snacks and such.

And then I guess I am working in the opposite direction of the day, but the first thing I did this morning was close my very first real estate transaction. Holy cow I was nervous, but it went great without a hitch. And I got paid. Finally.

So that's it. That was our October 31st. And I know I'm a boring writer and don't seem to talk about much more than what we did that day. Sorry to bore you.

So funny...

This was so funny that I just could not stop laughing....

Some pages and scrapbook news

News Flash!!!

I know you may not believe it and that is okay, but I have stumbled upon an even greater kit club than Poppy Ink. I think I may change my subscription to this company. http://www.mysweetspuds.com/ It is so awesome and with their new changes over at PI I thinkn it would be the perfect opportunity to try something different. I just haven't been able to find anything I like until now. Sorry Corriekate...I may not be able to wait for the December reveal. But you know me and how I really don't like change, so I may be just fooling myself into thinking I am some flexible sort of person or something.

Here are some pics of some of my recent pages.

Some new pics

I was going through my pics on my camera and found this. So cute!! Gabe took it of us when we went to the pumpkin patch with his class.


And here is Ella's new haircut. I took Gabe to get his cut and asked the lady if she had any suggestions for Ella's locks. Her hair NEVER looked good. Ever. It is just very thin and stringy and she needed something. So the lady talked me into cutting a few bangs and taking the length off. It looks really good on her! Finally, a cute haircut.
Other than that it has been pretty non eventful around here. Micah is taking Gabe to the Oklahoma/Iowa State game tomorrow. We have decided to go to AR and OK for Christmas. I have another house going non the market next week. I have only three layouts left for my 2006 album. I finally found a couple pair of jeans that fit in the waist and are long enough.

I can't even think of anything else to write about.

Some stuff from my brains

Spewing from my brain...

--It only takes one field trip with parents of other children in your child's classroom to realize your pretty normal and your child is way sweeter and more well-behaved than you ever imagined.

--Where do cable channels come up with all of the same sex couples on their shows. Seriously. How do they get on tv all the time?

--When painting your house, paint on the opposite side your husband is on. It just works better that way.

--When painting your house and three months after you start still aren't even close to being halfway done, hurt yourself so you don't have to do it anymore. Slip and fall, break your arm, sprain your wrist, whatever it takes. It's just not worth it. Especially when you are two stories high in the back. And the sides are very sloped. Very sloped. And you're really scared of heights. And your husband thinks it's super funny to wiggle the ladder when you're at the top.

--Stay away from the Halloween candy aisle.

--Eat T. Marzetti's dressing from the refrigerator section instead of the stuff off the shelf. It is so delicious and yummy and fattening.

--If your child wants to count as high as they can when you're trying to get them to bed because it is 20 minutes past their bedtime, then just let them. They are going to count as high as they can (200) whether you are standing there or not and it is way more fun to count for mom than the black air.

--When there are choices between puking in the toilet or bucket, pick the toilet since there is hard floor surrounding the john when the kids miss a bit.

That is all for now. Enough spewing.
