Thanksgiving

I am bound and determined to not overlook Thanksgiving this year. It is truly one of my favorite holidays, but I don't usually dedicate the whole month of November to it, just a few days. Upon finishing the Halloween crafts and costumes and getting homemade Christmas gifts going, I often feel I have neglected Thanksgiving. So this year, I decided to do a little more with this holiday.
I recently decided to start using my Cricut for Vinyl lettering and I have had a blast. Yesterday I decided to put it to good use with Fall decorating and here is the result. I saw something similar to this at the CSI craft fair last weekend. I have one ready to make for Christmastime, but as I mentioned before I wanted to pay proper homage to the now, so that project can wait!

I also pulled out my little Indian and Pilgrim people I made a few years back at Super Saturday. Elise and Mollie have adopted them as their own families, Mollie the pilgrims and Elise the Indians. I often find them talking to them and today Mollie was sharing her sippie cup with the baby. (Weird, or cute I haven't made up my mind on this one).

Private

I am going to go private with this blog, so if you are interested in getting to read the oh so exciting posts I write, leave a comment and I will happily invite you. It is sad to me that we live in such a world where there are too many scary, yucky people, but alas, it is so.

Thanksgiving Turkey Run

I just wanted to invite anyone who is interested and will be in town, to join us for a Thanksgiving 5K Turkey Run. We will begin at 11:00 am at the Hankins Church on Hankins road. I am working on getting the route mapped out, but there is no cost, just come and run. See that way you can have an extra slice of pie and not feel bad about it.

My favorite son!

Not sure about the funny face here!

Can I just begin this post by saying how much I love this kid. Reagan is such a great kid and I love how he loves being a big brother. He is so sweet to his little sisters, he adores them and they adore him. He is smart, kind, considerate and just plain cute. Now on to the post:
Reagan's 2 front teeth have been loose for a really long time, but they didn't seem to be getting quite loose enough. So one day, I decided to give it my best shot and while working with them, I noticed his adult teeth were already coming in, but growing in kind of weird, so I figured I had better leave this one to the professionals. So, on Tuesday we headed to Dr. Tingey to have those baby teeth pulled. Sad that we had to have a dentist do what a piece of string and a door knob should have been able to do. Alas, Dr. Tingey had to fight with them for a while to get them out, the little buggers were in there really tight. But we go them out and the Tooth Fairy even came. Reagan was pretty excited about it all, and was very proud of how tough he was, even though as he says, it hurt really, really bad.

I love this lady!

Halloween this year!

Happy Halloween everyone. I decided to go ahead and post the kids costumes this year. The blog topper is courtesy of last year, so here we are.

Reagan as a Knight in Shining Armor

Elise as Glinda the Good Witch

and Mollie as a Clown

What a crew these three make. So much fun. Tyler went to work as the Wizard since the bank was going with a Wizard of Oz theme, that worked well and I am Elphaba the bad witch, so stay tuned for those pictures, I know you will be on the edge of your seats.

The Biggest Loser and Haunted Mansions

Part One:
Haunted MansionsSaturday Night my mom, Paula and I went to Albion to check out the Haunted Mansion set up in the old, closed down Albion Teaching College Campus, which closed over 30 years ago and has been rumored to actually be haunted and not just at Halloween. WOW!!!! It was scary. There were 3 buildings we went through, 2 were just empty, old buildings, a theater and the gymnasium that were completely dark, with random zombies creeping up behind us, or jumping out at us from dark corners. Holy crap, I was so glad to have my mommy there. I didn't let go of her the whole night, I am kind of a baby. The 3rd building was the actual Haunted Mansion and it was so well done. I won't give anything away for those of you who plan on attending, but it was very well done and I had such much fun with Mom and Paula. My mom spent most of the night laughing at the 2 of us chickens, mostly me, but it was crazy.

Part Two:
A group of us have decided to start a Biggest Loser Blog Contest. It begins November 1st and will end April 30th. If any of you are interested in joining check out the blog and let me know!
