Halloween 2009

We had a wonderful Halloween!!!!!!! The weather was perfect, the food and drinks were great, and the friends were the best! We spent Halloween at the Straughan's again this year. The kids and adults all had a blast. I had drawn a patch on Cole's eye with makeup, but he rubbed most of it off before he started trick or treating.
My favorite pirate and power ranger ready to fill their bags with candy.

Jake (a blues brother), power ranger, pirate, and 60s chick.

All the kids before the sugar high. Sam (power ranger), Mace (mad scientist), Cole (pirate), Callie(hula girl... took off grass skirt because it itched), and Jake (scary potter.)

Our host the Straughan's... We are really going to miss these folk when we leave, but lets not talk about that yet!

Great friends! Jamie (Flo -progressive insurance girl), Chad (Elwood), Bran (Jake), and me (60s chick.)

What a duo... The Blues Brothers!!!

Mace... the mad scientist!!!!

"Look! Mommy! I HAVE CANDY!!!!!!!!!!" He told me this morning that Halloween was his favorite, but I think he says that about every holiday. His favorite is the is one we are celebrating on a given day.

Heading out to get their treats. They were over the moon to have Daddy home for the weekend. We are ready for next weekend to hurry up so we can see him again.

The girls! These are most of the girls in our support group.

October Fun

We have had some beautiful weekend weather, and have been enjoying it as much as possible. We have been to "Scream on the Green" at church, a fall festival of the school where Jamie teachers, a Saints party, and even more that I didn't bring the camera to for some reason.

Finally Back to Update

I am finally back to the wonderful world of blogging. We have been very busy over the last several months. Well, as you all know Brandon has started his new job in Louisiana. And the kids and I are staying here until the house sells. We miss, but we know this is just temporary. The kids and I have stayed very busy while Bran is way. And when he comes for a visit the time always go by so fast!
Cole came downstairs one day dressed this way and announced that he was a wizard. He wearing Samantha's blanket as a cape, the top to a puzzle box, and his magic wand.

We love it when Brandon comes home for a visit. We are all doing pretty good with the long distance Daddy, but some days are easier than others. These two kids adore their Daddy, and I adore him too.

My two favorite guys... Cole was thrilled to have his Daddy have a play-date with him.

What is the face all about?
