Happy Halloween!!!

I hope everyone has lots of chocolate to get them by!! Friday we went to Safford to Trick or Treat and enjoy a wonderful school carnival! The kids had so much fun. Tonight our school had a Trick or Trunk and it's Annual Fall Carnival. Randy and I had a great time decorating our trunk. Since election day is Tuesday and I am running for School Board, he carved "Vote 4 Torey", in our pumpkin.

My husband really got into Halloween this year and he looked great, he had everyone cracking up. I dug deep into my inner witch and went with it! Nicholas was a reaper and Emaleah was a bat girl. It really is a milestone when your kids costumes start to get a bit scarier and less cute.

KEOP!!

Nicholas had a Karate Party this year. He got to bring some of his friends and show them all the fun moves he gets to learn in Karate. They all received a pair of Nunchaku's. The kids really liked that part!! There were games, Randy and I really had fun with the balloon race where you couldn't use your hands or feet.

We had ordered a "Blocker", it looks like a padded bat, to give to Nicholas for his birthday, when Mr. Dixon brought it out we tricked Nicholas into thinking that it was a karate paddle for birthday spankings. It took a minute to make him realize that it was really for him to practice his kicks and punches.

Nicholas got to cut his cake with a real samurai sword with the help of Mr. Dixon. He was one bring grin while he was cutting his cake.I believe that this was his favorite party ever. All day Saturday he practiced with his Nunchaku's and his blocker. Thank you Mr, Dixon for all your hard work!!

The Snail Made me do it!!

Lately I have been doing a massive late summer cleaning on my house. I came across this notebook where I had decided to write down what my kids had been up to that week. Reading about it now, that was a busy week. It's dated June 18, 2005. They used a entire bottle of shampoo to make a slip and slide in the tub. Nicholas was mad at Em and peed in her toy box, later when he was mad at me he peed on my dryer. The next day to entertain Em he pooped in the middle of the living room floor as entertainment. (He had been potty trained over a year prior to these events!)

But overall my favorite story in my notebook was his explanation as to why he was doing all these bad things. He told me had a Bad Snail in his brain telling to do all things bad things. I can remember this conversation very clearly now, he had such a serious look on his face when he was telling me this so I bent down blew in his ear and found a crumb on the floor on the other side of his head, stomped on it and said, "There, now he can't get you into anymore trouble!
