A little help...

I am doing a Halloween program with Kindergarten and 1st graders at school and it is looking like it's too short. So I think what we're going to do is have a few 1st graders read a Halloween themed poem in between each song. I googled Halloween poems and found a few that were ok, but nothing I really loved. So I'm wondering if any of you know a Halloween poem from when you were a kid, or one that your kids are learning right now that I could use. Anything would be great. Thanks all my brilliant friends!

What should YOU be doing instead??

As I was sitting here looking at all of your blogs I was thinking about what I should be doing instead. I'm tired, I feel like crap, and my bed is full of laundry that needs to be put away before I can plop my tired body into it. So what do I do? Check my friends' blogs first! (of course!) Geez. Next week will be the first official meeting of the bloggers anonymous for all of the blogging addicts out there. So what should you be doing instead?

One to go..

We closed on our new house yesterday afternoon. It was a fairly painless procedure. Chris almost had a melt down going into that much debt, but it's for a good cause. I'll post pictures when I have more time. We are all SO excited! I can't wait for more space! We have some serious painting ahead of us. (that's what friends are for, RIGHT???) Now, I just need to drop a pound or two before Friday and I'll have a perfect week! :)

One down....

I PASSED!!! (finally)

This week is MY week!

OK, this is going to be quite a week. Monday, I get my test results (yes, I am STILL taking this stinking music test). Tuesday, we close on our house. Friday is my last weigh in for a "biggest loser" competition I have with a friend. YIKES! How do I get myself into these situations? I am a nervous wreck, but I am counting on everything going my way. (Please, Please, PLEASE let everything go my way!)

What do you love about YOUR husband?

I have come to realize more and more that I take my husband for granted. Big time! Are there things about him that drive me crazy? Always. BUT I have come to see just recently how lucky I am to have Chris. He is the hardest worker I know. He has the best sense and balance when it comes to raising our children. He is a dedicated and devoted husband. He makes me laugh like no one else. He's awfully cute too. I don't give him near as much credit as he deserves. So I'm wondering, what do you love most about YOUR husband?

The Balloon Classic

What a disappointment! We hauled our butts out of bed at 5:30 this morning and met up with the Kimballs to get to Memorial Park to go to the balloon classic. We got a good parking spot and everything seemed to be right on schedule. Then we heard the annoying announcer lady telling us that they were sending up test balloons because the wind was blowing in the wrong direction. So we meandered for a little while and then the announcement came that the balloons would be launching. A little late, but they would be launching. Well, instead of the MASS launch that they promoted, they had about 20 balloons launch. Lame, lame, lame. Oh well! Maybe next year will be more successful. It was still nice to hang out with our friends and to come home and take a good nap!
