Oh Great Pumpkin!

This is Pat's artful masterpiece. He spent two days carving it , because of the intricate detail. You can't see them, but there are three ghosts carved in the back, and when the lights are out the ghosts cast shadows onto the wall. Impressive, I know! We had many a trick-or-treator commenting on our wonderfull pumpkins, but pat's was by far the best and most complimented.

I'd better get this done before christmas

Justin's pumpkin

Ian's pumpkin

My pumpkin

Halloween was very nice this year. The weather was great, and I had the cutest boys! Ian was a vampire, and Justin was woody from toy story! We went to lots of houses this year since it wasn't freezing! And the boys got more candy than they could eat in a year. I couldn't put up a pic of Pat's pumpkin, so the next blog that I do will be an ode to his greatness.

It Is Time!

Wednesday was the first day of school! On Tuesday we had a day of haircuts, milkshakes, some time at the red park, and baja fresh for dinner!

Ian loves his new school and his new teacher, and he was stylin on his first day!

I have three days off work, and I'm making the most of it. So here, I blogged, now you can stop complaining.

So A Normal Day

I just thought I'd post this little video to show what my mornings are like as of late. The boys have decided that the sooner they get outside, the better. I have put restrictions on how early they can go out. Hey, the neighbors have to get a break sometime. So, this is it, my normal life with two boys.

Once more into the forge

So, last wednesday, I boldly jumped back into the workforce. I now work at petsmart making more than minimum wage, which is no small feat when you consider my lack of experience and the craptacular economy.
I'm not sure of my title at petsmart, I was hired on as a pet care specialist, but I think they decided that my mad cashiering skillz couldn't be ignored, because all I've done is be a cashier. But that's okay, I like being a cashier better than having to clean up various forms of animal poop anyway.
I like working there, I get to see all the cute puppies that come into the store, and everyone there is really nice to me. I'm just excited that I'll have extra money for christmas this year! Guitar hero 5, you will be mine! HA!

More on colorado

Going to Colorado was an epic journey....

We had Tornado's, heat, mosquitos, torrential downpours,

and the adventure of 11 people sharing 3 bathrooms.

And even though the kids seemed to be in a constant feeding

frenzy, it was great fun.

colorado

So, this is my video of our grand adventure at the pirate pool....arrrr.

I've been busy and I haven't gotten around to posting pictures, until now! Let the blogging commence!
