Helping Mom With the Coupons!

Cutting coupons is a weekly event in our household. . . sometimes even twice a week. It has actually been a great activity for the kids too. Ethan is happy as long as I am on the floor, Kate tries to sit in my lap and have me read books while I'm cutting, and McKenna has increased her cutting skills tremendously with her excitement to help!

Great job!

Kate loves to play clean-up!

And Ethan eats it all up! :)






Good Family Fun!

Halloween Princesses. . . oh, and jock!

While Halloween remains to be my least favortie major holiday. . . I have to admit, it is fun to see how cute my kids are all dressed up! We attended a Halloween party friday night at a friends, way fun! Then on saturday we went trunk-or-treating. . . or in our case stroller-or-treating. We put the stroller, with Ethan inside, in a parking spot next to our friends car and passed out candy from there. Anywho, Kate is the beautiful "Snow Wipe" and McKenna the dainty Princess Fairy.
And the E-Man went as a basketball jock. The plan was to get him a sweatband to wear, but I never made it out to the store to get one.


So, I feel I must explain WHY I don't like Halloween. I DO NOT LIKE TO BE SCARED. I do enjoy the cutesy part, dressing up my kids all fun. . . but there is always the dark side to Halloween. . . . I do not like how it makes me feel. So, there ya go. . . on to better holidays! :O)
