Happy Veterans Day to my 4 favorite vets this weekend!  I am so proud of my strong, brave family members who put everything they had on the line for me and my freedoms!  I could never do what these men have done, so I THANK YOU and I thank all the men and women who serve or have served our country!

Field Trip

Today we took all the kids on a fabulously fun outing (thanks to Groupon).  They got to pretend to be doctors and vets, work on a farm, paint and make art creations, play in a water table, go under the sea in a submarine, build with legos, and much more.  This was a great place, the kids had a blast and Greg and I got to just sit back and watch their creativity!

October

October was a busy month around here.  Here are a few other things we did this month:

We PLAYED: Ellie had a friend over and this is what the play room looked like after 2 hours.  They had a blast, and its easy to clean up...so its worth it!

 We ATE: I am into couponing and price matching.  We scout out the good deals!  This day we got ALL this food at Taco Bell for FREE!!  I even tried to buy some drinks and the guy gave them to us for FREE too! The kids loved the fun outing.

 We DATED: There is this really hot guy that Im dating that brought me these flowers before our last date.  I really am a lucky girl!

Halloween

Flo (the Progressive Insurance Girl), My scary Vampire and Little Elmo had a great Halloween!

We made warm Italian soup and Mummy Hot Dogs for dinner.  We got all dressed up and went trick or treating in our neighborhood.  My girls, their two dads and Cousin Kari went with us!  We saw lots of friends while our trick or treating.  We thought Ellie might get bored and have to go home early, but she never let up.  After every house she would say, "More Caneee, More Caneee"  She would dig through her candy bag between each house.  She couldn't concentrate on walking.  We brought the wagon, but daddy ended up carrying her most of the time! It ended up being a pretty warm night, the kids never even asked for their jackets.  We were done at about 8:00.  We got to bed later then normal, but slept in this morning and got driven to school (on time of course).  It is fun to have kids that get so excited about trick or treating.  It reminds me of my younger days and loving Halloween just like they do.

Halloween was a success!
