Wishing You a Spooooooktacular Halloween!!

It has been a crazy. crazy. CRAZY. week!! I am behind on so many things including blogging and reading all my favorite blogs! Dale was on a business trip this week in Hawaii. I know. I had a pity party all week!;) (Last business trip he had in Hawaii we made a family vacation out of it, but with air prices right now we decided we better skip this year. Believe me we do not over do it at Christmas, but if we would have bought air line tickets for Hawaii right now that would have been Christmas for the next 10 years!) He got home last night just in time for all the excitement tonight will bring!!
The kids were each on different school schedules this week due to it being "conference week." It made for LOTS of driving back and forth. I'll catch up later on how conferences went, but I'll just say I am one very proud Mommy!!:)
Faith is exhausted!!! She is actually napping right now! She hasn't had a nap in ages! It has been a hectic week. She had to keep up all week with the boys activities too. Dale normally takes care of their activities they have going on, but with him being gone this week we were just constantly on the go. Plus on top of all the Halloween preparations......Whew!! She had a MAJOR melt down one evening and that hasn't happened in a LONG time. I was emotionally exhausted by the time it was over.
This morning Faith had to be at school at 8:00 due to them combining Kindergarten classes for early dismissal. They dressed in costume and had a costume parade. Imagine two Kindergarten classes combined together on Halloween day dressed in costumes!!!! Imagine it! And I volunteered to help today!:0 I. am. exhausted! lol! I have to say they actually did REALLY REALLY good and were very well behaved. I was very impressed with the organization these teachers have. Not anyone can do what they do.
I would be posting some pictures, but my computer has been acting up again and I just haven't downloaded any of them yet. The big news flash is that Faith has decided NOT to be Captain America. She changed her mind! Of course! Just when I came to grips with my daughter wanting to be a boy super hero she changes her mind. It actually worked out for the best because the company I ordered her shield and other accessories from sent me an email saying they were all out of stock. I'll keep it a surprise what she decided to dress as until I can post photos. I'll just say it fits her PURRRRRRRFECTLY!!!! ;)
Well off to get ready for the big evening. Reed has all his buddies coming over to get in costumes and have dinner. (PIZZA) Wishing everyone a safe and happy halloween!!!!!!

As you know, if Jay even has to work late, I throw myself a big pity party, so I definitely feel your pain! I'm also very jealous of Dale's magical job that sends him off to Hawaii!
Looking forward to seeing Faith in her costume...
