7 Random Things About Me...

1. I am a procrastinator. I seem to always wait until something "has" to be done before I do it.
2. My dad makes me strawberry short cake for my birthday every year. He knows it's my favorite.
3. I LOVE to play soccer. I played in junior high, high school, and college. Now I play adult league, So much Fun!!!
4. No one seems to fold the towels right at my house. My mom taught me how to fold towels at a very young age and it drives me crazy if it is done wrong (then the towels don't fit in the cupboard right!).
5. I am a Sunday afternoon napper. If I don't get my nap on Sunday, well, if you have kids you know what it's like when they don't get their nap!
6. I love McDonald's french fries. Only if they're hot and fresh. Sometimes I go there without my kids and get them for a snack!
7. I can't sing, no I take that back. I can sing. I just shouldn't!

(there's always something to celebrate this time of year, right!)

We had a Spooky good time

Last night was such a great night for trick-or-treating. The weather was good, the kids were dressed up so cute, and there was lots of candy to be had! This was the first year of Halloween in our new neighborhood. It was so much fun walking from house to house and in our case putting a face to a house. We know a lot of people in the neighborhood now but not necessarily where they lived. This year Gracy started out wanting to be a princess. That was not a surprise, she always wants to be a princess. Lexy decided early on to be a zombie which grew into a zombie prom queen after a little surfing the net to get costume ideas. Then a week before Halloween Gracy changed her mind and wanted to be a pirate. Brent and I were a little uncreative this year but dressed up as BSU Fans. We trick-or-treated with our friends The Morrison's and two friends from our culdesac. If your kids were anything like ours you couldn't keep up with them for the first hour or so, they were running from house to house. But by the end you were holding their bag of candy and dragging them along or carrying them. That was what happened with Gracy anyways. It was fun, here's a few of our pictures. Hope you all had a spooky time too.
