Halloween

Happy Halloween ~

By far my favorite Holiday of the year!! I love dressing up and its been so much fun dressing my girls up. I started out making our outfits and have become a little lazy, yet I do always add to the costumes...So this year,

Emaley was the Queen of Hearts

and Makensey was Madonna.

Super cute, as you can see. We met LuAnne and Hillary, who was a Punky Pirate, and TrickORTreated in her neighborhood. A few friends from work came with us too. I dressed up as a Pirate at work....with my Gimp leg adding to my attire of the stiff legged Pirate...GRrrrr:)

...and then they GROW up ~

The school Fall Festival was Friday. Emaley had a small chorus performance before hand. Every time they have a school thing going on, it makes me feel like such a mom...reminds me of when I was a child. Saturday we went to see the new HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL, cute movie. Its like Grease when we were kids. Sunday was family dinner. We had sloppy Joe's, veggies, baked beans and chips...the kids love those kinds of meals...you know instead of the typical roast and potatoes. It was Luanne's birthday last Saturday so we sang happy birthday and had brownies,cookies and Loreen made home aid vanilla ice cream......MMMMmmmm.

This week we added a new thing to our nightly routine...

Primary song

...Journal writing ~

Then Prayers

They really liked it, I wrote in my first one at 8 years old. Memories are Forever!!

I had a long day....couldn't sleep last night, Sundays before my girls leave are always hard for me.....finally closed my eyes around 3am...Had to get up at 6 am and Makensey came in my room around 5am to sneak in my bed....

Makensey looked cute as usual, its been so FUN watching her grow up since middle school.....she reminds me of me,....the 80's have come back and she is sooooo 80's, keds, converse,skulls,neon,rubber bracelets, punk rock/grunge neon socks to the knees...LOL, too cute!! Thank goodness Emaley is still my little EmmanieBug!! That is when she's not totally dead set in being stubborn headed.....man oh man,

are my girls ever like me....LOL

OFF to school. Kisses and Hugs my Sweet girls ~

Emaley 4th grade ~ 9 years old

What IS it with ME!!

My day started out with the hopes of cleaning my house...lol!!

I even laugh as I type this because of the day I had....

...The Injury

...I swear I have become a klutzy adult!!

...The Crutches that have only given me more pain than the pain in my foot!!

Bruises under my arms...sore neck, shoulders, hands,back, You name it~

...The Wheelchair that I borrowed, thinking "What a great idea, but look closely....Ah, you see it don't you? I get to drag myself with my other foot...lol

Then today I decide I'm going to clean the house....So I get the vacuum and with one arm pushing and the other foot dragging in my wheelchair, I manage to clean the floor....Ah, that felt soooosooo good I tell you!! I haven't been able to do quite a few house chores that really need to be done daily. Boy do my girls have some things to do when they come back Monday....I will surly have to reward them for waiting on me.

Then theirs every ones favorite dog....

Copper...

Small, yet brave....He jumped on my couch and I am really trying to keep him OFF of their, so I stood up to shew him down. As I sat back down...YEP!! I fell, straight down on my tail bone.....oOOOHHHHEYY It was, and still is very painful, even hours later. I don't know, but it sure seems like someone is really trying to get my attention. WELL....you have it!!

...Learning

Gonna start using this to keep you udated on my life!
