happy halloween!


we have:
a pop rock star, a Cowboys player, Snow White and Roo (from Winnie the Pooh)




off they go!

i got a lot done today.
worked, worked, worked in every spare minute i had.
and kept a good attitude til about 5 pm.
when i realized i needed to start making dinner so we'd be ready for trick or treating.
but i still had about 2 hours left to finish the girls room
{the last room i had to do!}

then i got an attitude.
and started arguing with pat.
and snapping at the kids.
wasn't that mature of me?

but, i've managed to finish in between the doorbell ringing.
i run up the stairs and dump a drawer out.
then the doorbell rings.
i run downstairs and greet cute little trick or treaters.
then run back up and go through that drawer...overandover...

it's all done.
the piles of clothes they've outgrown are in the storage room waiting to be put in the right tubs until they fit the next child.
i was hoping to get that done today too..but...oh well.

it's kind of amazing how much i'm getting done in between doorbell rings!
sawyer's in bed.
the other 3 are out getting candy with Pat.
off to fold a load of laundry...and grab a piece of candy! :-)

Costumes are so cute, good job getting it done, so hard when you want to finish a project and you HAVE to do other things as well, like feed your family, especially when you have been at it all day and just want to finish.
