Halloween Party Pic

We went to a family Halloween Party and here are Cleopatra, The Good Witch, Sarge (the dog), The Sweet Cowgirl and The Pirate!

So we have been laying low on the blogosphere for awhile.....

WOW~ Time flies. I have been so busy that I forget that its been awhile since I have blogged about anything....

With all of this crazy sickness going around, its by the pure grace of God that we have not all ended up in the ER, instead we have steadily been plagued with minor frustrations. Bouts of Pink Eye that the school nurse diagnosed, that were not Pink Eye, not even an illness. She even sent both twins home since they were associated! My Sophie had a 102 degree temp and threw up in the middle of the night. I took her to the pediatrician the following morning, only to have her play 'cars' with the dr on the examining table since she no longer had a fever and was doing great! My oldest daughter, Macy did have some kind of funk, but it lasted about 2 days and she was back to ruling the kick ball field at recess. I feel that I should be the National spokesperson for Lysol, Purell, Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup and Equate anti-bacterial hand soap.

Things have been oddly quiet with the twins now in kindergarten, Macy is in 5th grade and just Sophie is at home. Aren't I supposed to be getting more accomplished at home? Shouldn't I have the flower beds filled with Mums and the house spic-n-span clean and a pie in the oven? Instead I am running now more then ever and hardly getting anything accomplished. I have not added anything to my etsy shop in forever. I just feel like I am failing at the home maker job postiton that I have been 'assigned' too. Motherhood has been so much more important lately. I do cherish those few seconds when I lock myself in the bathroom!! I need to get a deadbolt for that door though......

We did hit the pumpkin patch yesterday.....I will bore you with some photos! I took about 124, so I won't bore you with ALL of them....
