Happy Halloween!!!

I’m not really sure what I’ve been doing, but I’ve been
busy, so I’ll try to catch everyone up now on all the Halloween festivities!

Saturday night the 27^th, we had a party for the kiddos. We planned, made fun food and
games and goodie bags. Thanks Pinterest because that’s where pretty much every idea came from, lol. Heaven forbid we use our own imaginations
anymore! Either way, it was cute, everyone (including parents) dressed up!

Here’s some pictures from the festivities. Bean had a diaper change prior to most of the
pictures, so she looks more like a ballerina than abby cadabby because she didn’t
want to put it all back on!

Halloween we planned on meeting at Stefanie’s house so a group of us could all go trick or treating. She lives in the primary subdivision in Elkton, so we would just walk from there.

When I picked up Mallory and took her home to get ready she was CRABBY. Not in the least interested in putting on her costume. Ug, it was awful but finally got her in it and once she saw HOW to Trick or Treat by watching the older kids, she was all about it.

Tiffany had worked with them earlier in the day to say “trick or treat” which came out more like “tit or tit” but you know, she tried, lol!

She had a ball and then we went to visit Memaw and Aunt Sharon and then over to Mom’s.

Mallory had fun, but I was exhausted. Kinda glad that’s over now!

We had our big drawing for our St Jude’s fundraiser on Nov 1^st, one of Ben’s Fraternity Brother’s wives was the awesome recipient of the $! We’ve raised our $500 for the half marathon and now less than a month to go before we head to Memphis for the race!

The night of the 3^rd we celebrated Stefanie’s husband Matt’s birthday with a bonfire and laser tag, so we all had a good time. It could have been a tad bit warmer outside, but overall it was fine.

Ben’s gearing up for Rifle season that will open this coming weekend, so I’ll pretty much not see him much this weekend!

Of course the election did not go how I wanted it too. Not really looking forward to 4 more years
with Obama but I did what I could with my vote, it just wasn’t enough. We just do what we can and chug forward and I’m glad the senate and house is split so I hope none of the rest of his crazy
bills can get through.

This was in the Owensboro paper last week....

I forgot, I took off on Friday the 2nd and Bean and I went to Opry Mills so I could take her to the Rainforest Cafe, she was crazy about it when we went shopping there several weeks ago and she loved it! We got to sit right by a big aquarium and in front of some elephants that moved around. She was so excited she was squealing!!
