Happy Halloween!
Our evening started off with yummy homemade pizza at the Walker's house, followed by us all treking back over in the direction of our house (to the 1st Phase of our neighborhood) for all 4 of the kiddos to do some trick-or-treating. Zach only lasted about 10 houses before he just wanted to sit and eat his candy - lol. So John left Drew with the Walkers to finish up the area and drove Zach & I back home.

*Drew was an X-wing fighter pilot (Luke Skywalker X-wing fighter according to him) and Zach was Larry Boy (VeggieTails)

Pumpkin Carving
It seems that every year we get so busy that we don't get our pumpkin's carved until right before Halloween. This year was no exception. Here just the evening before Halloween, John is busy cutting them out. He carved a Lightning McQueen on the smaller of the 2 pumpkins, and the Mizzou tiger head logo on the other. Both were very neat looking!!

A New Laptop!!
I have been having all sorts of problems with my laptop over the last few months and the power connection issue that John thought he had fixed, has been happening again. So he surprised me with my Christmas present a couple months early...a new 17" Dell Vostro 1720!!! And it's not just a plan ol' gray or black one...nope...it's a ruby red one ;) and I'm LOVING IT!! Yes, I'm spoiled. :)

Fall Party
This afternoon was the Fall Party for Drew's class. The kids played pin-the-nose on the jack-o-lantern and bean bag toss into the haunted house. They created handprint bats and decorated fall leaves with jewels. Then they wrapped the party up with enjoying some jack-o-lantern shaped Krispy Kremes and juicey-juice.

Pumpkin Carving Day at School
This afternoon, I had the chance to help in Drew's class with the pumpkin carving they did. With just me, Mrs. France, Mrs. Sly and the boyfriend of one of the little girl's mom, we were kept very busy with out groups!

New X-Large Fluff Chair
The boys are LOVING the x-large fluff chair I purchased from Target on-line. I have been searching for a beanbag chair for Drew to use (per his OT's suggestion), but the only ones I could find on-line were pretty pricey. So for just a little more, I was able to purchase this huge chair that both the boys can even fit on together. It is SO comfy!!

Sick Day
There has been junk going around and it finally caught up with me. I spent the day trying to sleep off a low grade fever, a major headache and aches all over. I'm very thankful it was Sunday and John was home and able to take care of the boys!
