HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
So many pictures so little time! I'm trying to get all my pics off my camera and into my computer and there's over 200 of them! Aaaaahhhhh! (Note to self: download pics more often.)
We've been having lots of fun. CJ's mom and dad were here for a few days. Dave is gone now, but Jan is staying for about another 10 days. Wish Dave could have stayed longer. We all already miss him.
We're trick or treating with Brian, Beth, and Lily tonight. I'm getting ready for our "end of the season party" for the football team this coming saturday, CJ and Brian are going to brick the garage this weekend (YAH!), and my PartyLite open house is next weekend. BUSY, BUSY.
Hope you all have a safe Halloween with lots of TREATS!

What a wonderful weekend!
Saturday - We won our football game (oh, we're not supposed to keep score in flag - but I do!) We came home, relaxed and then my girlfriends Shaunery and Jennifer came over and scrapped until 1am! We had a blast!! Definately need to do that more often.
Sunday - Was dedicated to birthdays and cakes. We went to celebrate Angel's daughter Savannah (5 yrs old) and Misty's daughter Elize's (8 yrs old) birthdays and I supplied the cakes. I started the cakes at 7:30am and finished at 1:15pm (did I mention that we were supposed to be at Angel's by 2:00 and it takes about 50 minutes to get there?). Needless to say I was stinky and unmake-uped (is that a word?), but the cakes turned out good.
We got there about 15 minutes late, but we had a blast! The kids had a great time in the bounce house they rented. Even the BIG kids. Somehow CJ, Jason, Darius, and a few others managed to play a game of tackle football inside the bounce house! HA
And best of all I got to hang with my girlfriends who I never get to see anymore! It was really nice and made me miss the "old days" when nobody had to work and we could hang out whenever we wanted to. HUGS to the LIFESAVERS!!

I'm so excited!
...that Tanner is not only playing football now, but he's lovin' it and having fun! He's blocking - he's tackling (sort of) - he's running the football during practices - and he's wearing the coaches out wanting to be the center and hike the ball. HA! His little legs are so short that no kid can reach down there to get it, if the football even fits through his legs - LOL. In the interest of winning it wouldn't be the smartest thing to put him in as center because he's not very quick at it, but (spoken from the heart of his mother) I sure would love for him to get to do it once before the season's over. Even just for one set of downs.
...that I'm half way through my pregnancy. Yep, I'm 20 weeks! Can you believe it? Not that I'm rushing it - I truly LOVE being pregnant, and sometimes my pregnant hormones get the best of me knowing that this is going to be the last time. Right now I'm just trying to enjoy and savor every minute.
...that I got to visit with my mom and dad this weekend - even though it was only 24 hours. I miss them alot. They were on their way back to Indiana after visiting with my sister and seeing the new baby. I probably won't see them again until February. Bummer.
Not a lot going on this week, but I am working on a few scrappin' projects. Maybe I'll get some pics posted in a couple of days. Have a GREAT week!

TEACHER APPLICANT
(stole this from my friend Jen)
After being interviewed by the school administration, the teaching prospect said, "Let me see if I've got this right:
"You want me to go into that room with all those kids, correct their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse, monitor their dress habits, censor their T-shirt messages, and instill in them a love for learning.
"You want me to check their backpacks for weapons, wage war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, and raise their sense of self esteem and personal pride.
"You want me to teach them patriotism and good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, and how to register to vote, balance a checkbook, and apply for a job.
"You want me to check their heads for lice, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, and make sure that they all pass the state exams.
"You want me to provide them with an equal education regardless of their handicaps, and communicate regularly with their parents by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
"You want me to do all this with a piece of chalk, a blackboard, a bulletin board, a few books, a big smile, and a starting salary that qualifies me for food stamps.
"You want me to do all this and then you tell me... I CAN'T PRAY ?"
God bless all our teachers, and all they try to do for our kids. Remember to show them how much you appreciate them every once in a while! Thanks Jen!!

A round of drinks on me!!
Just remember to make mine a virgin. GREAT news all around yesterday!
First, I had my last appointment with the specialist. Yep, I said LAST. He did a very in depth ultrasound to look at the heart and as far as he can see everything is OK. So, after all the emotional turmoil we went through it appears as though we have a PERFECTLY HEALTHY baby. According to the calendar I'm 18 weeks 4 days, but he measured at 19+ weeks and weighing in at a whopping 10 oz!
In other parts of the country - I'm an aunt again! My sister had her baby yesterday at 6:09 our time, 17 in. and 5 lbs 3oz. Welcome to the world Robbie! For those of you wondering his real name is Robert Arnet (don't ask - it's a like 4th generation family name and I told Sarah I was going to call him Arnie - that does not make Scott happy. I may have to do it anyway just to torture him, XOXO)
So CELEBRATE!

sit down.
HE PLAYED! HE PLAYED! HE PLAYED! HE PLAYED! HE PLAYED!
OK, we bribed him, but still! Didn't think the bribe would work. We told him if he played in the game we would take him to get two new HotWheels. I asked him on the way to the game if he was going to play -- he said "no." Then low and behold at game time there he is on the field!!! (He's the one on the end looking this way) Not only did he play - he played the WHOLE game. He didn't come out one time, even in the face of adversity. I didn't know until afterwards, but CJ said there was one kid on the other team that was picking on him pretty hard. Just kept pushing him down and was just a little relentless. CJ said Tanner cried once, but never asked to leave the game. I'm SO proud of him!!
