the day of the...

so i'm not a big fan of halloween. i know, i'm the party pooper, but i honestly could skip the whole day!! i love fall and harvest and pumpkins and all that stuff...just not the spooky things that come along with it.
but hubby loves halloween and he has worked hard to pass that love on down to our kiddos. so one sunday after church (i usually get home a bit later then my family) i walked in to find him and princess making a halloween tree. she worked hard at decorating it. hubby was giddy with the whole process and princess was letting her creative side show. she asked for orange lights...and i guess while hubby was out working he made a stop for some orange lights to add the finishing touch.

this tree has been with us for the month...and now i'm thinking of turning it into a gratitude tree...because, well, i actually have grown quite fond of it!
here is reggie wayne and hannah montana (well, kind of). each year i make the kids find their own costumes without purchasing one - borrowing one works! they are usually pretty creative and cute, and this year was no exception. mapboy's new found love for all things football landed him an amazing colts outfit from a family at church! he was in heaven when i pulled out the wayne jersey!! and i must say, he looks pretty cute - or handsome or tough or whatever you say to a football star!

princess wanted to be a rock star! this cracks me up...for those of you who know her it is definitely her, yet definitely not her. princess is shy but is so into fashion and music it cracks me up. we have NEVER seen hannah montana anything, but she wanted to be a rockstar. she found a picture of hannah montana and fashioned her outfit after the one in the picture. i added the blue hair at her request which almost had me in tears (it really did come out! whew!!).
all in all, they brought home way too much candy, it was way too cold, and we had a great time!!!
now for the fun of thanksgiving....i love this month!!!

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

the "calling"

okay - so it's been awhile since i've ranted...and it's time! it is beautiful outside and i'm sitting inside my makeshift office at the church. i am lucky enough to have a door that opens to the outside so it is wide open and i'm loving that. but as i'm working here today i feel the need to rant so enjoy.... being in my position i often have to ask people to help out. you know, volunteer to teach or work in the nursery or teach or hang out with the kids, you know - volunteer! i love all the responses i get. i am particularly fond of the "i don't like kids one" - it doesn't go over real well with me when they have 3 of their own. hmm??? but the one that really gets my goat is the "i don't feel called to that." argh...really!?!?!!?!? well, i didn't feel called to wipe my kids bottoms either, but it is a good thing i did it anyways. surprisingly, everyone feels called to the waterpark though! now, let me back up a ...
