Halloween

This year Halloween happened to fall on a Sunday. This somehow meant that we had to party all weekend. LOL At least that's what it seemed to mean to my kids. All the big kids had nothing but parties all weekend long. On Saturday, Brayden and Makayla both had plans so we told Jordan he could have a few friends over (since he was grounded and couldn't leave the house), well....he invited 4 friends over and the next thing I know we have a house full of 25 9th grade kids. YIKES!!! It was pretty crazy but everyone seemed to have a good time. Well...everyone but Mady. She was feeling very left out because she didn't have any friends over and it was pouring rain. Luckily Rich, Andrea, Evan and Grayson came over and the rain cleared so they were able to go out for some Trick-or-Treating. :)

All in all that was a pretty good Halloween. I think its just the beginning of many more nights with teenage kids in our house. At the end of the day, I think all the kids had fun and it was sure nice knowing they were safe and sound at our house. I will trade having a clean house for that kind of security anyday!!! :)

Here is Matt, Mady & Evan in their costumes....Evan isn't sure about Matt!

Jordan's friends playing wii

Alan from the Hangover stopped by for a photo op! The kids loved it!

Silly Saturday

So I started a post with these pictures a long time ago but it seems I have "writers block" and haven't come up with the words to go with them. For this reason, I am just gonna go ahead and post them anyway. They are just pictures from some family fun we had at our house this past summer. With the season changing...I am trying to hold on the the last memories of the warm weather! :) Enjoy!!!
