Decorating Fun

Well, it's that time of year again. It comes so quickly, doesn't it? Today is actually a dreaded day for me. I used to enjoy putting up the Christmas decorations, but over 10 years, we've collected a lot of decorations. So, it takes a couple of days to put everything in it's place. But we try to have fun. Braxton loves to help and Hailey enjoys the music. She walks around the house singing, "Happy Day!"

Making Cookies

Well it's Election day and I don't know about everywhere else, but here the kids are out of school so the parents can vote. I think that just makes things complicated, but hey, that's just me. We went to the Dr. this morning to get flu shots and found out that Braxton has strep. So what do you do, when it's rainy and you can't go anywhere? You make "strep cookies"!

Halloween

Trick or Treat, everyone! Well, this Halloween was a crazy one for us. I had to go out of town suddenly and didn't get back home till Halloween afternoon. We were invited over to our bishops house for dinner and trick or treating, so we went straight over there, forgetting our camera. Long story short, no pictures of the kids hopped up on candy. So I just put them in their costumes today and took their pictures. (They'll never know) Braxton was a ninja and Hailey was a witch.

Visit From Spokane

My sister and her husband decided to take a little break from their very hectic lives and come out and visit. It was a lot of fun to have them here. We went to "Stone Mountain", where we took the tram to the top of the "mountain" and then hiked down. Which, in the 8 years that we've lived here, we have never done that. We were able to show them a little bit of Atlanta, and I got to take Kerry to do a little bit of shopping! Braxton had his last football game while they were here, so they got to see what Georgia football was all about.
