SaNTa iS NoT CoMiNG To Me THiS YeaR

Rhielyn decided to let me know that Santa is not bringing me presents this year. When I asked her why she told me it is because I am mean to my kids. Oh crap, if I knew Santa was watching I never would have told her to quit dipping her sucker in the sugar, to stop painting nail polish on the shower doors, to stop dragging Ryder around the floor by his arm, to stop coloring on the armrest in the car and last but not least I never would have taken away all of her beads so she couldn't stick them in her brothers ears anymore.
So, if you could all please put a good word in for me with Santa and just let him know I will be trying to be much nicer to my kids by letting them run wild for the next 48 day. If you see her driving down the road in my van could you please let her know she shouldn't be doing that because it's out of my hands now.

HaLLoWeeN FuN!

My kids had a lot of fun on Halloween. We started off the fun by going to Cooper's Halloween parade.

After Cooper got out of school we went to Trick-or-Treat on main street. They had a lot of fun, but it was so crowded we had to cut out after only going down one side of the block. They didn't seen to care though.
After that went to my moms for her wards trunk or treat. It was really nice, because I didn't even have to take Cooper and Rhielyn from car to car. They are getting so big they just went on their own and I didn't even have to worry about them getting hurt. Ryder wasn't feeling very well and also missed his nap so he wasn't in the best mood so we just sat and handed out the candy. He was so funny, he just sat and stared at everyone all day. You could see he was trying to figure out what was going on.

Every Halloween my grandma make dinner for all of her kids and grand kids. It is really nice because, we all just meet up there and all the kids can see their cousins without having to go to every house. After dinner Mike took the kids around my grandmas block and they got lots of candy.

When we were finished there we went over to Mikes parents house. We stayed there and visited for a while. Cooper and Rhielyn were invited for a sleep over so they stayed there and Mike, Ryder and I went home. Ryder went to bed and Riley and Libby came over to watch a movie. We watched the Strangers. It was a pretty good show, except I did not like the end. All in all we had a pretty fun, but busy night. I guess that's what happens when you have lots of grandparents to visit. We didn't even make it to all of their houses.

By the way I made Rhielyns tutu so, if anyone wants one let me know and I can help you make it or make one for you. We can even make matching head bands with flowers, flower barrettes, or pony tails. I just think they are so cute.
