Halloween

Well, it's been a while since I posted!!! I've been feeling pretty crappy, but I'm starting to feel a little better. I had to post tonight though because I have some really cute Halloween pictures to post. The kids went as the kids from Narnia, and boy were they cute! Here's the boys as Peter and Edmond (Louis would NOT leave his hood on even for the picture).

Here's the girls as Susan and Lucy.

And here's the whole gang! Aren't they cute?

They had a blast trick or treating. A friend from down the street came with us and is spending the night. After the candy fest, we had "bloody noodles" for dinner (they were a hit - score one for mom), and then we watched The Haunted Mansion. We LOVE Halloween in this house!

Beth Ann - the poet!

Earlier this year, Beth Ann had a poem selected to be published in a book. We got the poetry book in the mail today! It was very exciting to see her poem in print and to see her name with it. She was very proud, and we are very proud of her.

Beth Ann's birthday party

I've been too nauseous and exhausted to keep up my blog lately. Beth Ann's birthday party was last weekend. She wanted a pool party, so that's what she got! She had a blast, and I think the rest of the kids did, too. I try really, really hard to make each of the kids' birthdays special, and I love it when they're so happy with their parties!
