We hope that everyone had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Last week was pretty busy with work and meetings. Lately- Mondays seem to be my marathon day, leaving at 5:15a and getting home anywhere between 7 and 11p. It is a long day, but usually goes by fast. This past Friday I had to go into work for a few hours so Presten took a half day. It actually worked out okay because then he was able to carve the pumpkins and help me get a few things done around the house.

Jaxson dressed up as Harry Potter for Halloween! He LOVED his costume! Presten took Jaxson out for about 45 minutes. Vada and I stayed at the house and handed out candy. Actually she stood at the door --banging trying to get out. Whenever anyone would come to the door she would try and slip out. I should of sent her with Presten because she really just wanted to be outside. Jaxson got so much candy! --which now he wants to eat all the time! After going out in the neighborhood we went over to Vicky and Steve's so they could see the kids. We only stayed for a short time because it was well past Vada's 7pm bedtime- and she knew it!

Saturday morning we got up early and headed down to Maple Grove to do some shopping. It was a gorgeous day and it was really nice to not have any real plans. We got a lot done around the house and even had time to sneak in the movie Maid of Honor while the kids were napping. Presten went to the game today and Jaxson, Vada and I went to church this morning and then minus nap time we spent the rest of the day outside raking and cleaning up the flower beds. Presten came home and mowed so now it looks really nice. Vada LOVES being outside and sitting in the cozy coupe. I tried to take her out to show her something and boy was she mad at me!!

She has been so funny lately...she loves it when we chase her. So anytime that I have her bottle for her, or clothes etc.. she sees me coming and does this little U turn and runs into her bedroom. She thinks that it is soooo funny!

Jaxson had a great week at school. He has a tough time when I drop him off, but does well the rest of the day. He had a Halloween Party on Thursday and he got to wear his costume to school. He loved seeing all the other kids dressed up too!
