Only something like this would happen to me: I set up a profile on facebook. I don't know how it happened, but it sent an email to everyone I have EVER emailed and either said Tracy Locke would like them to join facebook or if they were already a member, I requested them to be my friend. Which is fine, the more the merrier, but I am humiliated! That means, teachers and doctors and old acquaintances. I bet my insurance agent wonders why I want to be so chummy with him! I just think people will think I'm weird. Okay, I know, I AM a little weird, but not weird enough to do this! I don't remember it asking me if I wanted to do this, but I cannot be the only person this has happened to. You know what? I probably am, because that is the kind of thing that always happens to me!!!!!
Yesterday Noah, Cameron, and I went to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. I was supposed to meet my mom meet up group, but I could not find them. It was a little hot and chaotic, but it was fun. We tried to I eat snow cones, but it was too scary with the bees swarming us so we threw them out and ran! Cameron picked out a huge pumpkin. This was the first time I have ever bought a pumpkin at a pumpkin patch. Usually, I just get one at the grocery store. Cameron is excited to carve it on Halloween.
Last night we went to "The Haunted Forest". Cameron got a little freaked out and told me he decided he did not like adrenaline. I think I agree! I know I am fun to scare, but they did not just jump out at me, they chased me! Maybe we'll try again next year! Now I am trying to get dried mud off my black Uggs from running into a huge muddy area!
This morning I made pancakes which I never do, because they never turn out good and I make a huge mess trying. So this time was no exception. Does anyone make good pancakes and if you do will you tell me how you make them? I know I am following the directions on the box right. Oh, well...maybe we'll just stick to Ego waffles around here!!!
Last night my mom came over and took Cam door to door to collect donations for his band fundraiser. I thought that was so sweet. I was so proud of them...they raised $165! People could either pledge a certain amount of $ for each minute he practices for this week or a one time donation. Everyone chose a one time donation. They were both so proud. Now he gets to go into the drawing 3 times for the prizes, he gets three 100's to replace any grade except for zero's, and on Dec. 5th after school he gets to take a limo ride to CiCi's after school along with any one else who raised at least $150. Cool, huh?! I'm so excited for him. Wasn't that nice of my mom to take him to do that? I thought so!! Thanks, mom! We love you!
Today the weather is going to really feel like fall. I love fall. I love it because it makes me think about Christmas coming soon. Christmas has always made me so happy. It was always so magical to me as a child. My mom and dad made it so special. It wasn't just the presents...my mom made cookies with us and I always loved that. I still do. I can remember like it was yesterday driving with my mom singing carols...our favorite was the one that went.."There's no place like home for the holidays cause no matter how far away you roam......" You know that one? We also had this thing she made where we got to eat a piece of candy each night until we reached Christmas day! It was so exciting for me! I love the lights and the busy malls and I LOVE the tv shows/movies. When I was little it was such a big deal.. we would all sit in the living room and watch together A Charlie Brown Christmas or How the Grinch Stole Christmas of Frosty or one I discovered when I was a little older was It's a Wonderful Life. I think that one is my favorite..it just touches my heart so much because though life can be painful and scary at times, it is such a precious gift from God and it reminds me what really matters. I am so blessed because I have so many people in my life to appreciate and love, so if your one of those people "(which you probably are if your reading this), I just want to thank you for being in my life and loving me!!!
Not a lot has been too interesting around here...just the usual insanity! The kids had a pretty uneventful school week. On Friday, Noah had a play date. Here is a picture of him with his new friends, Cassandra and Summer. He's such a ladies man, isn't he! 
Friday after school, I took Cameron, Taylor, and Noah to Baskin Robins. Noah insisted on feeding himself, so that was fun with a hot fudge sunday. Oh, well! Cameron got his report card and it was good..all A's and B's and one 79. Cameron spent the night at Taylor's and Alex spent the night with his friend, too, so Noah and I had the house to ourselves before Brad got home. I had a crazy Friday night...I played with Noah and went to bed at 9:30! Exciting, huh
Cam has been home since Sat. morning and Alex has been in and out. Right now he is at the skate park with his friend and his friend's little brother. Brad was off yesterday and that was nice. Brad, Noah and I went to the mall and ate at Dave and Busters. I ate desert though and got a sick stomach. Restaurant deserts always hurt my stomach, but its usually worth it to me.
