Successfull Halloween and Days of Thanks

Halloween was a huge success for us! I still haven't managed to get us all to go at the same time, but maybe I can figure something out by next year. Jess stayed home and gave out candy for 30 min while D, Carol (MuMu..that's right..pronounced Moo Moo), Big Jack and I took the boys around the short block trick or treating. Ooooo they loved it. Landon being the vocal child, did all the talking and the boys got lots of candy! Isaac was so good about holding his pumpkin and loved the walk! We just had to keep going...no stopping for that monster! When we got back, it was Jess and B's turn. I don't know where they went but hour later they came back super excited about all of their candy too! Yay! Happy kiddos!

As a few of my friends are doing on fb, posting something they are thankful for, one day at a time, I thought I might just flip out the list in one big chunk. I'm not all that great for remembering to do stuff like that, so here it goes! These are in no particular order, some serious, some might seem silly, but they are mine ;)

1. My hubby. Always.
2. My mom. Keeps me sane, mostly.
3. My daddy. Makes me laugh when he gets all mad.
4. My kiddos. All 4 of those beautiful, wild, silly babies.
5. My big family. Don't have as many members as D, but I wouldn't trade them.
6. My furbabies.
7. The air conditioning and the heat, lately both in the same day.
8. The in laws. Yep, I sure did luck out on that one.
9. My house. Love it. Needs some more lipstick, but love it.
10. The washer and dryer. Those get serious workouts every single day.
11. Indoor plumbing. No explanation necessary.
12. My cellphone. (Cracked screen and all)
13. Internet. Just makes life easier sometimes.
14. Disposable diapers and wipes.
15. My hair straightener...ok...Jessica's hair straightener.
16. Let's just group all personal hygiene products (soap, shampoo, toothpaste. etc.)  together, shall we!
17. Our cars. Paid for and momentarily working.
18. This wonderful Disney vacation. Disney or not, but YAY IT'S DISNEY, we needed a vacation all together for a long time coming.
19. Nap time. Mine or kids or both ;)
20. Friends. New, old, renewed, lifelong, since diapers, and even only on fb.
21. Yoga. Need to do more of it, and I'm working on it, but love it.
22. DVRs. Record, pause and fast forward. NO DON'T DELETE THAT!
23. Date nights. Few and far between for us, but we do get a few here and there.
24. Getting to hear the hubby play one of his guitars. Guilty pleasure here. He hardly ever does anymore :( but every once in a while I can catch it.
25. Chinese food. Mexican food. Chocolate. Italian food. American food. Fast food. :)
26. Lazy Sundays.
27. When I don't have to cook dinner or do dishes.
28. Chore time for the kids. Brandon + Swiffer sweeper = dog hair off of all hardwood floor in 20 seconds.
29. Drinks with caffeine. Coffee, Coke, Dr Pepper. Love.
30. Last but certainly not least, GOD.
