BOO

How do you know if a VAMPIRE has a COLD?
~
By his "COFFIN"!
What does one casket say to the other casket?
~
Is that you "COUGHING"!?
What did the TRICK OR TREAT bucket say to the candy?
~
Well, HELLO sweet thing!
What is a ghost's favorite fruit?
~
BOO~BERRY!!!!
I'm lovin these Laffy Taffy candies!

Buzz Lightyear to the RESCUE!!!

Peyton and I decorated a pumpkin this year for the pumpkin decorating contest!
We didn't place, but we sure had fun creating our bat!
There was some crazy competition!
Peyton had his heart set on being Buzz Lightyear this year! Isn't he cute?

Garet was also Buzz when he was four. He had the little one piece outfit from WalMart...we didn't have Ebay back then! Well, I ordered Peyton's Buzz outfit because Garet's is slightly wore out! When we received Peyton's package in the mail...we were all surprised. This outfit is the real deal. Detachable wings...goggles that light up...boot covers...hand covers!!!! You name it...it's got it!

Garet mumbled, "Boy, things have changed in 8 years!"

Face painting with Mrs. Lindsey! Cooper is Peyton's BUD!
There was also bubble blowing, fishing, a pinata, apple decorating, pie eating contest, a jump castle and pin the nose on the pumpkin! What a FUN time!
Makeup for the pretty girls!

Emma, you make such a beautiful bride!
Maybe I can hook you up in about twenty years!
(At this point...my camera went DEAD! Hate it when that happens.)
Happy Halloween everyone! Have a FUN weekend!

Trick Or Treat...Bunco Style!!!

Trick or treat...smell my feet...give me something good eat!!!
It's bunco time!!!
We always love October bunco ~ annual costume party!
Kinda makes us feel like kids again!
Would you like some mustard or ketchup?
Or BOTH?
(Costumes courtesy of my brother, Coy and Stephanie...thanks guys! XOXO!)
Trailer Trash Erica ~ Peacock Ashely ~ Pirate Lindsey

Betty Crocker showed up, yummy cookies and all!

Jana said, " This is as HALLO~WEENIE as I get!" So, she was our WEENIE!

Maxine smoked a pack of cigarettes in one night!

YO! YO! Stephanie obviously made her appearance at the wrong PARTY! She came in with RAP music blaring on her cellphone...doing a little dance with her jeans at her knees! She scared me a little...I thought she stopped off at the tattoo parlor!
It looked as if she had too much to drink as well!
The BLING~BLING in her NOSE blinded me all night!
Maybe we need to get her to the school counselor!

MP3 Morning!

On a normal morning around our house you would hear 2 boys chasing each other through the house screaming, hollering, laughing and occasionally killing each other! One morning last week I noticed peace and quiet and singing like angels and this is what I discovered...an MP3 player plugged into their ears! One MP3 player plugged into 2 different ears on 2 different little boys!
We may have to bust out the MP3 player more often!

Infinite Grace ~ WOF 2008

Where have I been?
Well, where do I start?
I have been GOING NON STOP for about 11 days straight and I'm near POOPED!!!
We've had ER visits, sick kids, packed and moved my mom, church, work, 4h meetings, fishing club, cooking club, bunco, meetings, meetings and more meetings!!! BUT, I still managed to go to Houston this past weekend...
to the Toyota Center...
for the WOF 2008 conference!!!
We learned of God's infinite GRACE!!!!
You know me...I never want to miss out on a GOOD TIME!!!
It felt like the speakers were speaking straight to me!
My favorite saying...
Through CHANGE...do what you can do and trust God with the rest!
We drank lots of coffee....not Jack Daniels!!!

We laughed....

and laughed some more!

We slept!

We cried!!!

We rocked the house with Mandeesa, Nicole C. Mullen and Sandie Patty!!!!

On the way home, we stopped and ate at Joe's Crab Shack! We celebrated PC's b-day. I have never seen this girl embarrassed, but she turned 50 shades of red when we made her do THIS!!!
The fun weekend ended with PC writing her name with her BOOTY!!!
What a FUN ending!
God is GOOD!!!!

Saying Good~Bye is hard to do....


Saying Good~Bye to Derby Ln. and life as I have known it for 34 years.
It's a sad day for me!
Trusting God through all of the changes taking place in my family.

I'm informed!!!

If you are not into decorating and recipes...here's a little funny story for you!
(You know who you are!)
My youngest son recently informed me that his "thingy" swings back and forth when he brushes his teeth without underwear! He was very serious and demonstrated for me afew times!
He acts just like his daddy!
Kids are so entertaining!
Have a super weekend!
XOXO!
