Brandon got me excited to carve pumpkins this year. We had a lot of people comment on them and even look inside to see if they were real. It was a lot of fun.
I had a fun Halloween party with my preschool class. We all trick-or-treated from each other, and learned the 5 little pumpkins song.
Denton and Julia are very social. They've made friends with all the neighbors. This pays off on Halloween. Our neighbors gave the kids bags of candy, chips, full-size candy bars, and their own box of count Dracula cereal. Talk about spoiled! This is also nice for me because their buckets were full after 5 houses. We did empty the bucket and Brandon took them for a refill around the neighborhood where the kids weren't so well known.
A few days ago, there was a big wind storm. It was literally snowing leaves outside. Leaves can drift like snow does. We found this out because all of the neighbors leaves drifted into our yard. The last garbage day, we had 12 trash bags full and you couldn't even really tell we had picked anything up by looking at our yard. The kids sure have a good time in the leaf piles though.
Let's see... I'm pretty simple. I like eating cookies with milk after my kids are asleep. I love trying on crazy tall shoes even though I would never buy them. I have a favorite pair of jeans that I could wear everyday. I try not to read the summary of a book before I read it so I can be totally clueless the whole time. A pair of scrubs are my absolute favorite pajamas. Old friendships are not easily forgotten for me. My eyes take on a bright baby blue when I'm tearing up. Staring up into a sky full of stars totally fascinates me. I hate saying goodbye to anyone for any reason. I always seem to move on to the new container of ice cream before I finish the old. When my boy kisses his sister it just melts my heart. I get a big silly grin on my face when my husband sends me a text message that says, "I love you," and he's in the next room. There is nothing more satisfying than spending time with my family.
