~Halloween~

Asher came home from school. He said he needed a costume but didn't know what to be. Bill and I were on it. I told him to get me a pair of old jeans...check....Bill had a shirt he didn't wear anymore...check. I found a bandanna I had from the Avon Breast Cancer 3 day walk....check!!! I then advised him to take the cut up shirt and roll it around in the neighbors yard. Not our yard....we have a dog(ICK!!!).....check. I Put some makeup on his face to make it look dirty(Don't tell his friends.) Costume completed with a toy sword provided my Bradley . He has to be the cutest pirate I have ever set my eyes on. I then immediately kick him out of the house to go get his step-mama some candy. Funny thing is I haven't seen him since. Apparently I forgot to remind him to share. Don't worry...I will find an entire pillow case full of candy in the back of his closet it July. Can you say YUCK??

This is Bill and Bradley starting to trick-or-treat. As you can see Bradley is Superman. I'm telling everyone that Bill was a soccer player. He does have the jersey ya know!! It ALWAYS fills my heart with happiness when I see my boy and his dad together doing something really fun. I'm not sure who LOVES this more....Bill or Bradley???


This holiday is a bit much for Stitch. The doorbell....the kids.....it's all a bit overwhelming for him. He didn't move from this spot from 3-6:30. I had to keep him locked in the kitchen. He has a very big bark. I didn't want him to scare the kids. He is able to love on a child so much that he can lick them to death. Maybe next year I will have Bill bring him trick-or-treating. It would sure make my head feel a lot better.


Usually every Halloween I sit down in between trick-or-treaters and I do my Christmas cards. However, this year I helped Bill's office with the annual Thanksgiving cards (800 to be exact). I brought them home from the office to finish up. I made Bill sit and help me. He just kept watching me....it's was a bit bothersome. Hey Bill...next time...note to self....don't watch Amy work. She will get a tad upset and put you to work. Hope he doesn't remember that next year. Now I have to find time to do our Christmas cards.





THE END!!!!!

Today is A Wonderful Day

My boy getting ready for Halloween:

Today is just wonderful. I know that it is a bit cooler than we like but the sun in SHINING!!

Does it get better than this?

I just keeping hoping for all the children who wait ALL year for Halloween that the weather hold up. I know that I try to prepare Bradley for Halloween every year. I tell him this is the one day a year that he is allowed to get candy. I mean, really people, these kids need to get out there and not come home until the job is done. If that means blisters, so be it.

We have already started our festivities. Bill and I took Bradley to Halloween party last Saturday night. See the pics above. The first one is Bradley showing off his newly carved pumpkin. The second one is Bradley going through a hay maze, and the last picture is Bill and Bradley carving a pumpkin.

I think the thing I love most about Halloween is that it is truly about the kids. There is no gift giving. Just pushing your kids out the door to have some innocent fun.

I know that I am preparing for this awesome holiday. Hope you are too!!!
