We are all getting so excited about Halloween!

Tomorrow is Alex's homecoming dance..he is taking his beautiful girlfriend to dinner and to the dance..he is excited to wear his new hot pink tie. He is a little bummed he won't be able to trick or treat..but he is 17!

Cameron can hardly wait to carve his pumpkin today! He had one Nana bought him that he carried around all day last week until he finally dropped it and it cracked open:0( He is so funny.

Noah is going to a party today and gets to wear his monkey costume. He is so excited to trick or treat tomorrow:0)

We have lots of company coming tomorrow to trick or treat with us and watch movies and have pizza..so excited this year Halloween is on a Sat.!

Wed. was exciting to get a package in the mail from Granny and Papa! It was really cute and YUMMY cookies, that are just about gone now. Thank you, Granny!

Paranormal Activity

This afternoon Cameron and Noah went to Nana's and Papa-O's house while Alex, Brad and I went to the movie and saw Paranormal Activity. OMG, it was really scary. When it ended I was too scared to use the bathroom at the movies and when I had to go get Alex from work tonight I was terrified being in my car alone..I was trying to distract myself from my ridiculous fears by blasting the radio and singing along to a BeeGees song! I am a dork, i know! It was fun to see a scary movie though especially around Halloween. Hmmm, we'll see how "fun" I think it is when I am sleeping with a light on the next 2 weeks!

Yesterday was my friends, Melissa and Darian's wedding..it was so pretty and she looked beautiful. I definitely teared up during their vows. I did not stay long at the reception, because I was alone and did not know anyone..but it was a really nice reception. I am so happy for them and I know they are going to have a great life!


Brad and I got another suburban..a white one. I am so excited..I am taking the white one and Brad is taking over the maroon one. We should get it tomorrow, they had to fix something on it.

The weather is so beautiful the last few days...wow my life is really dull that I have to resort to talking about the weather! Just kidding. I am so excited about fall and Halloween and the holidays coming up. I love Christmas so much! It will be exciting this year because Noah will understand more. Plus, I get to see my adorable niece and nephews that live in New York..yay!

Yay, Me!

I am so proud of myself! Today we got our test back and I got an 88! Not much else to say...sorry my life is so boring! My mom made popcorn balls for the kids and Cameron and his friends had fun eating them after school..(and me, too!).

Cameron's friend, OJ, today said (very seriously), "I think I might have Thanksgiving here this year." So funny, kids crack me up.

Speaking of kids saying funny things, the other day we were all at IHOP and Alex and I were talking about our bad vision and we were both saying that when we were little and first got our glasses we thought our blurry vision was normal and the same as everyone else's ...we both said we were thinking, "wow, I can't believe how clear everything is!" Cameron said, "hmm, really? I was just thinking..dang, my vision sucks."

Yesterday was our candle sale. It went okay...actually that's a little bit of an exaggeration ..it sucked. Okay, I say that and laugh..it was a horrible location. Next Sunday we are going to a much better area...not giving up. I love candles and these are amazing. Of course in everything I do, I realize I said or did something ridiculous..I advertised them as hand dipped...like they are ice cream or something! What I meant to say is, hand poured! Sometimes I just have to shake my head at my own self! Anyway we sold about 10 including the ones I took to my friend today that could not make it. So I have earned about $30 to go toward my college fund! (don't laugh) (okay, you can laugh). Hey, that is a book off Amazon..its a start! I have been called an eternal optimist by a very smart person once...so now is not the time to set that optimism aside..I am going to sell hundreds of candles by the end of next year!

Other events of the week, let's see other than Algebra kicking my butt, Cameron had a band concert. They did great...amazing how far they have come. I feel horrible, but its so hard for me to sit through, I find myself checking off the songs over and over just like I used to do with the bulletin during church as a child! I do enjoy the music, but can't we enjoy 4 songs instead of 8? Me and my ADD!

This Sunday from 1-3, Kathy and I will be at Frankford and Old Denton behind McDonalds in front of KidsPlay selling candles! We are very excited and Cameron will be dancing around with a sign. Easy $10! The candles are awesome, all kinds of scents...baked scents, holiday scents, perfume scents, and aroma therapy! The 8 oz jars are going to be $9.00...they were $8.00, but she is putting like triple the scent in each candle so we have to charge more. They are worth it though. She is going to make a larger size around Christmas. We are also planning a party for Sat. October 24th at my house. Its so cool because I have been looking for something fun to sell that I like for a long time. I have tried many things, but they are all expensive and that whole pyramid thing...I hate that...I think everyone does. This is nice, you can come and buy a candle and not be pressured to change your career path!

Anyways, Sunday 1-3..see you there!

Cameron was not feeling well on Friday and did not go to school. On Sat. he seemed much better until about 4:00 and he had fever and looked awful. So we found an after hours dr. and he tested positive for the flu and the dr. said it is most likely swine flu. He put him on tamaflu and Noah on it. Today Noah had a fever of 100, so I am a little worried, but I am sure he will be fine. Cameron does not have to go back to school until Wed. so he is very happy about that!

Last week was very busy, I had a test on Thursday which I was really stressed about but I think I did okay. I also had to get my car fixed and inspected and then I had to get my registration and after that I had to go get a new drivers license and after THAT I had to go get my tickets dismissed for no inspection and the wrong address on my dl. It was a pain, but I am all legal now!

Noah picked out his Halloween costume..he is very excited to get to dress up like a monkey! perfect costume for him. He is such a cutie...every day saying (and repeating) and singing new things...it is the cutest thing in the world! Now we are working on getting him sleeping in his own bed, I am OVER it...we don't get any sleep. So that is on our list and we are beginning to work on potty training , but after Christmas we will start working harder on that one.

Next week should be less stressful, except for taking care of sick kiddos. I really hope Alex or Brad or me don't get it. It is no fun to be a sick mom because you still have to do everything for everyone and sleep is out of the question when you have to take care of a 2 year old...I am not going to worry about it though, if we get it then we will just have to deal with it:0)
