first there was homecoming...schools out early. MUST be at the parade.....

 then it was MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!  I can't thank you enough for the sweet little happy i found randomly through the day on my front porch.... so fun! so thoughtful!  i just wish i could have seen you all in person to ring in the big ole 3-2!!!!  thank you x 100 for the text and emails and messages throughout the day too.  Y'all are just the best!!! i feel very blessed and overly loved.   MORE CAKE.... just when my i thought i could NOT fit anymore into my mouth..... I could... who was i kidding!!!!!  and it was something fabulous for each meal......

 Daddyc and charlie did a most wonderful job picking out the "theme" of the cake, didn't they?  they were too cute and so excited to tell me about it.  its the little things i guess.

 group shot before church, christmas card op.????  NOT IN A MILLION. better luck next time. Oh. do you HAVE TO SEND CHRISTMAS CARDS????

 carving of the pumpkin.  So, i was in the attic...digging out costumes for ME and daddyc, what began as a fun family affair of carving the big pumpkin ended up daddyc in kitchen carving away.... boys ALL in the yard playing football.  Oh. well.  we could say we carved one i guess.   WE DID ALL EAT THE SEEDS.... oh so yummy!!!

 good job.

 back up to the big boy's school.... lots of Halloween treats.....

 surprise from the missing teacher.........  who apparently should have been in the makeup artist work force....  

 and YOU ARE WELCOME teachers for giving out punch balloons mid school day!!!  i had too.

 then on to the middle baby's class party..... (in case you are wondering my little lamb's was last week, i have NO pictures... bless that 3rd baby)

 spiderman, superman, and a black ninja.... my crew!!!

 next up our Halloween parade....

 who invited the illegal immigrant to the party???

 yes, we dressed up.  It was Halloween for pete's sake.

FIESTA~

 dont' let these sweet 2 year olds fool you.  They were super pumped about trick or treating and finally got the grasp of how it works towards the end.......

 i immediately put my birthday happy to good use.... thank you!

thats all folks.  i hope you had only treats and no tricks! 

 Onward to thanksgiving but according to the local stores in my parts, we are apparently skipping thanksgiving and moving right along to Christmas... COME ON PEOPLE... slow down and talk turkey for a minute.
