Halloween Treats for You!!

Halloween is so much fun with young children! They get so excited to dress up, and hello, there is candy by the bagful! The biggest decision - what to be???? Here is pretty much how the conversation went this year:

Me: Tay, want do you want to be for Halloween?

Taylor: Tinkerbell.

Me: Okay, sounds good. Hope its warm enough. Ok, Trace, what about you?

Trace: Tractor!

Me: T, I don't think you can be a tractor.

Trace: Tractor!!

Me: I know, buddy, but I don't think they make tractor costumes. What about Lightning McQueen, or SpiderMan, or a Bat, or a Pirate?

Trace: Tractor!!! Tractor!!! Tractor!!!

So, John and I made a tractor for Trace, and it actually turned out really cute!

Everything taken care of right? Wrong!

As we watch the weather and notice that the trick or treat forcast is um, cold, I decide that Tay cannot be Tinkerbell - so, we went shopping the day before Halloween for a costume. After scouring the left-overs, Tay picks SuperGirl - which was okay, because it is great for tights and underarmor - plus she turned out totally adorable!

Eaden made an adorable dragon - no, he was not Barney!!!! He was so funny, he just wanted to walk around, but the suit is kinda bulky so he was weaving and stumbling like he was drunk!

Enjoy the photos and check back in a day or so for an update with video, I haven't had time to get it edited yet!

I've been tagged too!

So, as the runner-up blog slacker (behind Sarah, of course) I am just getting around to answering the "tags" from Tonya and Catie! I will pre-warn that my life is totally boring and pretty much always has been - that's okay with me!

10 Years Ago I....

1. Was in my second year of engineering school at WVU - Let's Gooooo Mountaineers!!!

2. Drove a Nissan pickup truck

3. Spent my weekends riding horses

4. Spent my Thursday nights at "The Little Village" in Morgantown, WV - good times!

5. Was loving the college life!


5 Things on Today's To Do List...

1. Go get a present for Taylor's friend Jack's 5th birthday. (must be done first, with no kids in tow to avoid the "Can I have...", "Mama, I want..." madness)

2. Get the kids from school

3. Convince family that leftover pizza is a great dinner

4. Laundry

5. Give the kids' baths


5 Things I Would Do, IF I Were a Millionaire...

1. Pay off our debt and invest for the future

2. Buy 500 acres and build the house and horse barn that we would like to have

3. Buy a Friesian horse (okay, maybe two) - they are sooo beautiful!

4. Make my children work on the farm to earn their allowances - you wouldn't be seeing them on MTV's "Sweet Sixteen"

5. Probably still go to work, can't waste that college degree!


5 Places I Have Lived...

1. My parents house in Clarksburg, WV

2. The honors dorm - Dadisman Hall - for the first year of college

3. The townhouse my parents bought in Mo'town - for the remaining 4 years of college

4. John's house in Salem, WV

5. On the farm, would never live "in town" again!

Okay I forgot 5 Jobs I have had...

1. Babysitting

2. Lowes (definitely the most fun)

3. Customer Service Representative

4. Electrical/Computer/Biometric Systems Engineer

5. Mommy (definitely the most rewarding!!)

I know that Tiffany hasn't been tagged yet, and I will tag Sarah as well (I agree with Catie, if we just keep after her, she will be forced to update) - I think everyone else already had their turn.
