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!

Out with the OLD and in with the NEW

This picture reminds me of my life right now, haha.  The kitty on the left was Kaden's FAVORTIE toy as a little kid.  She had to take it everywhere with her. Although it was washed regularly, this is as clean as it gets.  It was well LOVED but its no longer needed.  Our family has been trying to get rid of the things that we have held on to that we no longer need as well.
Ellie found this kitty and fell in love with it too!  She wanted to take it everywhere.  After a trip to walmart when I gave in and let her bring it in, I new she needed a new toy that wasn't so gross.  I found this new one online and Ellie now has her own kitty.  We are always in search for new in our life.  Sometimes the new is better then the old, and you wonder why it took you so long to change!  You can always look at the old and know that it was loved, but be glad you have moved on.

Fall Activities

Fall is upon us.  We have been busy with cheerleading and now soccer games.  We went to the pumpkin patch with a group of friends from church.  

What a difference one year makes!

My 3 girls with the pumpkins

Ellie wouldnt hold still!

There were tons of baby kittens walking around, the kids LOVED bugging them. 

 Ellie loves cats and dogs!

Playing in the Hay Maze

Kaden was in the Homecoming Parade! She is on the far left.

Cheerleading

I got some pics of Kaden cheering at her second game this 

season!  She had fun and the Pirates WON!!  Yay!

We ate...

The kids and I made worms out of Jello.  They looked so real but actually tasted good!

And Cheerleading season has begun!
