We are officially in the busiest time of the year for our family.
Halloween was very fun. Devan had a party and 15 people showed up for that. (I let Dean cover that one. I had to sacrifice and walk the streets, talk to the other moms while our girls went door to door trick or treating. Which of course has a candy fee attached for anyone that comes back to my house and starts the candy swap. I got some Heath, tootsie rolls, 100 grand, dark choc snickers, licorice, .......)Anyway, Devan's party went very well. They met ate just a little (I had 5 Costco pizzas for them to eat and at the end of the night, I had 3 left. We are finding out how many times in a row one can eat pizza) They played apples to apples then went trick or treating as a group. They came back to our house and watched Young Frankenstein. I forgot all the innuendos there are in that movie, even though it is very funny.
Paula, her friend Missy, Sarah and her friend Maggie (from our last soccer team) our neighbor Emma and her friend Macayla were all fairies. Paula was a water fairy. Missy was a cotton candy fairy. Sarah was a rainbow fairy. Maggie was a black fairy. Emma was a fire fairy. Macayla was a flower fairy. I was so fun being a Mom and watching this group run door to door. When they would get to a door and it would open the light from inside the house would illuminate their wings and it looked cool from the curbside.
Next week Sarah is going to have a sleep over birthday party, which I hope that she will let me take them swimming so burn off some of their energy. The next week after that Paula is going to do the same thing, have a swimming sleep over birthday party. Next I am going to take my family to Blanscett's for Thanksgiving. I will take them the Sunday before, come home the next day so I can work Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Sleep on Thursday and when I wake up join the Blanscett clan for turkey sandwiches. After Thanksgiving is over is my birthday and then it is full time Christmas
