Halloween

        We are celebrating Halloween today! Last night we took the kids to Harwood for the Carnival. We ate pizza and nachos (my fav) The kids jumped in a bounce castle and Hailey climbed the rock wall. Hailey also got a pumpkin painted on her face. They played Penny Toss, Halloween Bingo, and Bowling. By then it was time to close shop so that was all the games we did.
        Oh! Earlier in the day we took Nathan, dressed up as Scooby Doo, to the school to watch the Halloween Parade. Hailey was Sharpey from High School Musical, but with pink hair. Keigan was dressed up as a race car driver, no surprize there. Keigan is still VERY into cars. He points at cars as we are driving and tells me the make of each car. Is favorite is a Mustang.
         Tonight we are going to Rhett's sister Shantelle's house for a Halloween Party. The plans are a Pinata for the kids, then a easter egg like hunt but with Halloween candy, and a Haunted House, and finger food for dinner. I like this idea, but I wish it was not on trick-or-treating night. My kids, especially Hailey wants to do the door to door thing, and is upset that she dosen't get to. I kinda agree. Halloween is known for that. Shantelle thinks that it should now be a family thing, but I think she thinks that because her kids are to old for trick-or-treating, and she has forgotton how much the kids love the running from door to door getting candy. What can I do? I don't want to make her mad at us by not showing up because the kids rather do it the traditonal way. ( or the rest of the family either) So I guess we will go. It will be fun either way.

Finally Getting Started

I decided it was about time that I start blogging. 1. so friends know whats going on in my life and 2. to use like a journal. So be expected of the unexpected.

Where to begin? I have just recently moved from my home town to my husband Rhett's home town of Rigby. It's only a 20 min. drive from I.F. I miss being so close to so many stores, especially Walmart. My 2 yr old Nathan can only drink rice milk and Walmart is the cheapest @ $2.89 a half gallon. Here in Rigby it is $4.59!!!! Uh, Duh! I think I will buy as many cartons as I can when I'm in I.F. I also REALLY REALLY miss being so close to my mom. She is more than a mom to me she is also a best friend. She gives me great advice, comfort, and encouragement. Rigby is not so bad though. My sister lives close by and most of Rhett's family is here or close by.

My two oldest attend Harwood Elementary. Hailey (7yrs.) is in 2nd grade with Mrs. Lybbert. Keigan (5yrs.) is in Kindergarten with Mrs. Clark. Both are doing well, and made friends here really fast. Which dosen't surprize me about
