A Haunting We Will Go!!!

Well I must say..... I am truly Halloweened out. We started at 6:30 am getting everyone ready for school. Jay took the older boys since it was Daddy Doughnut morning. Which worked out really well for me. I then got the other four in their costumes and ready for their parades at preschool. I barely made it in time. I dropped them off and then had to run and get stuff for their classroom parties. Back to the preschool, watch the parade and help with parties. Finally home we went. I was so excited and really looking forward to quiet or naptime. However ,it was just not in the cards for me. LOL.

Instead it was time to go and meet the bus and the older boys. Then we got home looked through backpacks, confiscated candy (I know.... mean mom). Next came dinner and believe it or not it was time once again to get back into our costumes. I am still not sure where the time went all day. It truly kept getting away from me.


So off we go to trick or treat. We were very lucky to have our friends Lauren and Phil help us out.It was so fun to see how "grown up" the little ones have become. A year ago some of the houses would have scared the pants off of the kids and this year they were loving the "scary" houses. Of course, after getting home we had to go through the candy and some of it was re-halloweened (for those not familiar with this tradition you give it out to the kids that continue to trick or treat after we should all be in bed.:>) And then some went with Lauren and Phil and some is in the freezer. Amazing as it may seem they did not even ask for it today so I may be able to just get rid of it!!! Now that would be great.


Now I have a funny Tannerism. I was talking to Jay yesterday afternoon and Tanner kept interrupting. After the third time, I told him "Tanner, I am talking to Daddy not to you." He stops, looks at me and says, "Um, Awkward." I totally cracked up. Where do these kids come up with this stuff? I swear as much as they stress me out they offer such great comic relief how can you not love it!?!?!?!!? Sleep well my friends!!!
