Now that Thanksgiving is over I'll update. Halloween was fun. We didn't have too much drama about what everyone wanted to dress up as. We actually saved some on costumes this year. Maddie wanted to use Gracie's from last year, and Cole waited until the day before to decide what he really wanted to be, so we got his at 50% off. Sweet!! We really wanted him to be Ralphie from The Christmas story. When you put black framed glasses on him he looks identical to the boy in that movie. It's SO hilarious. But he didn't think that was "COOL" enough and was embarrassed at our reaction I guess. lol Then he wanted to be a mummy so I bought this white ninja outfit and we were going to wrap rags around him but once he saw how "COOL" he looked he wanted to stay a ninja. :) Gracie wanted me to make her costume but thank heavens I found one on line that wasn't a bad price along with Ty's. As you can see we have a new Dog. Her name is Daisy and she is WONDERFUL with the kids. I think Ty thinks she is his younger sibling and the only reason we got her was for him to pick on. He squeezes her ears and squeezes her muzzle and lays on her and just irritates her and she just takes it. Sometimes she will whimper a little when he's gone too far. But other than that she will just get up and walk away. She's 6 years old and has always been an indoor dog. I'm not liking the hair clean up so we shall see.

The kids were able to go to their schools trunk or treat on Friday and then the church party on Saturday. Sheridan went to the ward party as George Costanza from Seinfeld and he looked GREAT/SCARY!!! He grew his hair out so I could buzz it super close to make it look like he was receding like George. Then he wore a dress shirt with a dress belt, jeans, tennis shoes and his nasty glasses. I don't know if very many people got it but we thought it was funny. lol

The following pictures are what my husband really looks like. lol Much Better!!!

If anyone knows my husband they know he is a HUGE college football fan. Now he doesn't necessarily have one favorite team it all depends who's playing who. Well he has freat friends here that LOVE "CAL" so I thought it would be fun to go to a game with them. It was Sheridan's suprise B-Day Present. My great friend Gretchen came early on a Sat to watch my kids all day and night so we could go. Thanks again Gretchen!!!

Sheridan had NO clue where we were going until we turned the corner to his buddies house. Then he figured it out. It ended up being a GREAT weekend with all of them.

These are our friends. Dan, Katy & Kelly. We went to dinner at the ESPN sports center and had a very eventful dinner there. LOL Thanks guys for helping me pull it off. It was a great weekend!!
