Boy, Was That Fun!

Halloween came fast and furious at our house:

  • We had nearly 100 or so trick or treaters.
  • Spenser's leg was too sore to walk, so she rode in the stroller, as a princess should.
  • Sawyer wore the same bunny Halloween costume I made for Taylor, which all five boys have now worn.
  • Mason was Luke Skywalker.
  • Jackson was a soldier.
  • Carter was a knight, doing his best impression of a "middle-aged man who starts a town riot."
  • Taylor was a soldier.
  • Me, well, I dressed up as a soldier in one of Joe's old uniforms.
  • I discovered at the end of the night one of the reasons Spenser had a hard time walking. I found a green ball in her boot! Not kidding!

And a group shot.

I think we have enough candy to feed a small army. (Pun intended.)

Great photos! Isn't Blogger a pain-in-the-butt sometimes??
I love the big floppy bunny ears!
And the ball in the boot?? I laughed out loud!

I clicked over to flickr. They all look great!

The other day, N was complaining that her shoes were too tight. I just kept telling her to stop whining. An hour or so later, I finally took off her shoe and there was a pink sock stuffed down in there! Ooops.

Hahaha, why didnt they say there is something IN the shoe instead of just saying it hurts? Jack does stuff like that all the time.

Reusable Swiffer WetJet Cloths

Image
I promised myself that, when I bought a box of Swiffer WetJet refills at the wholesale club, it would be the last box I bought. Something had to be done. Now, to be honest, part of the reason was to help the environment, but the other part was because I was tired of running out of those darn things. I took some towels, folded them in half cut them into 5" widths. (The towel was just about 25" or so from side to side when flat.) Then I cut two 5" pieces of elastic and serged it all together. Two layers of toweling and two elastic strips. That's it. (The finished piece was approximately 4.75" x 12.") Within minutes I had a stack of eight. Slide them on and mop away. You will have a clean floor and have saved one more thing from ending up in the landfill. Now, if I can just do something about the cleaning liquid ... Something environmentally-friendly, economical, and won't cause further pain to my arthritic back.

39

It's that time of year again. The one that seems to come faster and closer every year. Yes, today I am 39. (That means I'm almost 40! Aaaahh!) To keep in tradition with years' past , I decided to do a list of things you might not know about me . (My best friend loves these posts, so this is in honor of her. You know who you are.) I ran 1 3/4 miles this morning. I gained 3-4 pounds after Sawyer weaned himself this year. Since starting to run, Joe has said that my thighs are "as tight as when we were first married." I didn't realize my thighs weren't tight. Hmmm. I guess six kids can do that to you. I need a new mattress. We bought our last mattress when I was in labor with Carter . That was ten years ago. We also bought a set of bunk beds that day. I want a new sofa. Actually two new sofas. I'm waiting until Sawyer is potty-trained. I'm planning on training him as soon as school lets out in June. Sometimes I plan ahead. Sometimes I procrasti
