Halloweenie good times!

Well well well! What a weekend! It was so jam packed that I think I need an extra weekend just to recover from it! But that won't be happening from now til the end of the year our weekends look pretty hectic! We started off the weekend with the Pumpkin Patch on Saturday and the boys had a blast! We spent about $20 on tickets for rides and the petting zoo about $8 on 2 gourds, a squash, and a scarecrow and alas $4 on a bag of cotton candy! We didn't buy the pumpkins there because we thought they were a bit expensive. I ended up getting them at Wal-Mart for considerably cheaper. We ended our Saturday at a Halloween party at one of our neighbor's house. We all had a wonderful time! Then comes Sunday! We got up and carved our pumpkins I helped Russell with his and Caleb did most of his on his own! Then I had to run out to get AAA Batteries for the lights I bought for them.I managed to get home just in time to get into costume and get the boys ready to start our Trick-Or-Treating right on time at 5:30! We went around with friends and Caleb was going full force! Russell on the other hand was less enthusiastic! He spent most of the night in his wagon and he even fell asleep! We managed to get a good deal of candy and got back home right before 9pm! We came in and the boys attacked their candy and we watched a movie together. I worked on getting all of our pictures posted and then called it a night. Now I am quite envious because Caleb doesn't have school today or tomorrow and Nate took leave til the 12th! SO I'm the only one having to go to work today! I wanna stay home too lol! I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!!

I'm not so good at this I guess...

Well it's been almost 2 weeks since my last post which was also my first post....I have thought about posting something in this time but just wasn't sure what to post. I'm still not exactly sure what I want to post but figured I'd just start typing and hope that something came to me lol!

I have been told I am too nice.....I ask myself is there really such a thing? Or is it that some people just aren't nice enough? Maybe I am too nice but I am following the golden rule: Treat others as you would want to be treated....what happens when you are treating others the way you want to be treated but in return they are treating you the total opposite? How many times can you turn the other cheek? Cause I'll say my cheeks are rosy red and I am tired of it. I think there comes a time that you have to cut the person out that is causing you this pain. Cut them out like a cancer eating at your soul. I did that last night. I have a friend that for about a year now has just been....well....not a friend. I have an extremely hard time letting friends go whether they are good friends or bad friends that make more an enemy than a friend. This saddens me but at the same time relieves me. I feel as if a burden has been lifted and the egg shells that I was walking on are swept away.

Yes I'm a little intimidated!

This is my first blog. Never really thought I'd ever have one but now I do! I figured it may be a good way of keeping family and friends updated on what is going on with us. As of right now Nathan is back on his four 10's schedule which means he will have Friday's off. I am on a new schedule this week and I am not sure how long that will last. I am working 4pm to 10pm Mon-Thurs which really stinks because the only time I will see Caleb on those days is when I wake him up in the mornings and I am not used to that at all. I am hoping it will just be for a short time until we get the new routine figured out. Caleb is doing very well in school.....well aside from him getting in trouble for talking in class. He ended up grounded this past weekend due to getting an orange and 2 yellows last week! The color scale goes like this: Green is good, Yellow means he was gotten on to once, Orange means he was gotten on to twice, and Red is anything more than twice and gets a call to the parents. But other than that he is doing really well! He is excelling in math, reading, and spelling! I am so proud of him! Russell is doing good too. Not much going on with that he is just getting more and more silly which worries me when I think about sending him to school! I took him on a date last Friday. We went to Petsmart and looked at all the animals. Then to Krispy Kreme to see the doughnuts being made and there he told me he wanted to be a doughnut...but then he wouldn't have arms or legs! He also told me he wanted to work there! From there we went to Wal-Mart and he picked out Moon Dough which I can tell you I do not like lol! And finally we ended up at McDonald's! He played for a while then we came home. Not too much going on other than that.
