Trick or Treat






What a great Halloween!! I worked from home this morning and then went to the girls school.I am Whitney's room mother, I love spending time with the girls at school and seeing how they are with their friends.She has a great teacher this year Mrs. Kirberger and so Whitney is excelling in school, she is finally reading above her grade level. Yeah great teachers. I had games set up they played witches brew, musical chairs, and then Krystal, Mrs. Kirberger, and I face painted Halloween themes on their faces. Destiny's class is next door and we did face painting for them also. Krystal is according to D and W the coolest big sister. They love when she comes with me. Kit and I took Destiny and Whitney trick or treating this evening. It is funny to see what the girls choose as their costumes each year. Kit was a devil for his CG party today. Destiny made her dad be a hunter tonight and she was a dead possum. Whitney was a fairy. We are home already and now we are going to watch a scary movie. Poltergeist I still remember when my mom took me and Andrea to see it years ago. Kit and I had last weekend together and went to a costume party it was a 80's theme and we had tons of fun. I felt like a teenager again and it was nice to have " adult time ". We so rarely get that; I definitely need more time with just Kit. Tomorrow we have our last soccer game unless we make the playoffs so a very busy weekend.

I can't believe I am 40

Well, life sneaks up on you. I wanted this big party for my 40th but I guess it is not in my husband's nature however,he was romantic after all. He delivered roses and balloons to my office, cooked me dinner, got me a digital picture frame and most importantly a romantic card. 40 is hard I don't know where the time went most days I don't feel 40. I love family. I got married so young and moved far away. In 22 years I have not lived near Utah. Today all my family contacted me and for the first time in years I felt like a part of my family. I truly love and miss them To hear my dad talk about the day I was born, my mom called and sympathizes with aging, my sister called,put me on her blog and all my brothers contacted me. To me family is the most important thing in life and sometimes we forget how much we love them and how much they shape us. My girls were so amazing they all made me great handmade cards my favorite. My girls are my best friends and the lights of my life. All in all big party my family(the family Kit and I created and the family I was born into) makes me very happy!!!
