Fall Festival

Last weekend we attended the kids Fall Festival (largest fundraiser of the year) The kids always have a blast,they have jump houses, glam stations,zoomobile. Ryan got a mohawk,and tatoos at the Biker station. They sell cakes and candy. The kids did the spin art this year,and it turned out really cool. Ronnie,and Kristan met us up there. They had pizza and nachos. So nice too see all the families there.

Temp.Job

The 1st week of November I got a temp job with a company that does Benfits for city entitys,and schools. I really liked my boss eventhough she was only there 1 day. I basically did data entry,phones,made up benefit packets. I enjoyed how "stress free it was" for my 1st "getting back into the workforce" job it was great. I really wished it could have gone into something permanent part-time. Guess it was not meant too be. i know there is something better out there. Getting 2 paychecks has been awesome. Ready too work on my 3rd.

Movies

Ron had too work today so the kids,and I got too hang out. I took them to the Dollar Tree,and they picked out a few goodies. Then we headed to the grocery store,and Kroger was having an awesome sale on meat so I stocked up. We unloaded the groceries. I kicked back for awhile and watched a little Law and Order while the kids played outside. Then we headed to the mall around 5:30 (trying too avoid all the trick-or -treaters)We stopped by Justice,because Kaitlyn had a 40% off coupon so she bought a peace sign snuggy (very cute) Ryan bought a lolly pop. We then headed too see Secretariat. The kids got a kids pack (drink,popcorn and candy) I got twizzlers. What a great movie, I got a little misty eyed. So that was our evening. Kids got too bed about 9:30. Tomorrow starts a new week,and my job.

Kaitlyns 8th Birthday

On Sunday (10/10/10) we threw Kaitlyn an 8th birthday party. So hard to believe my baby girl is 8. We rented a bounce house (always a favorite for the kids) we had about 10 of Kaitlyns friends over. The weather was perfect. The kids were jumping,and having a great time. I got in there for a little bit,and the kids thought that was great. Ron and Ronnie got in there with the kids also (that was a hoot) I got a really cute cake (pink and purple) with a peace sign (she loved it) Ron bbqd hamburgers and hotdogs, there was potato salad,and chips. I bought this cool sparkler that was a # 8 too put on Kaitlyns cake. She really liked that also. People started leaving around 4:30.

Kaitlyns friend Cami ended up spending the night (no school the next day) I asked Kaitlyn how she liked everything,and she said it was "an awesome birthday"

I sent little beaded necklace making kits as the party favor (that was a hit) Let the clean up begin

Guess whos coming to Dinner

Guess whos Coming to Dinner is such a fun activity that our church does. After church Mrs.Powell gave us a map to the peoples house we were going to, we had no idea whos house it was,and the Host people did not know who was coming either.I had to jet back home,and pick up the bottle of wine and juice that I was suppose to bring. So we headed up to Montgomery (about 1 hour away) we ended up at Michelle Gordons(she is the oldest child in a family of 10 kids) there were other kids there for my kids too hang out with. We ate enchiladas,fajitas, salad and other veggies-what a yummy meal. After we had chocolate cake with ice cream (killed watching my calories) drank some Baileys,the conversation was awesome.It was so nice getting too know new brethren. Looking forward to the next one. I forgot my camera in the car, and it was pouring rain outside.
