Halloween Happenings

Today was Winston's Halloween Party at school, so I thought I'd share a few pics from the fun we had. They went on their own personal parade around the block and waved at cars, had a visit from Happy the clown, then had a snack, and finished off with a few songs. He made the cutest pumpkin to bring home and put outside too. It was a blast! The pics are Winston's 2 pumpkins, the parade they had, and the cutest snack another mom made and brought that is even healthy!!!

Pumpkin Fun

Well, today we made it out to the Pumpkin Patch and it was a blast as always. We went on a hayride, tracked our way through the maze and found a couple of pumpkins to go home with us. Winston picked a white one to take for his school project and a big Orange one for his Pirate Pumpkin kit(THANK YOU BECKI!). We had such a good time. It was a chilly day here (20 degrees), but it was sunny and not windy for the first time in a week. It was absolutely the perfect day for a fall Pumpkin Patch visit.

Soccer

Well, Winston had his 3rd soccer game yesterday and I actually got a cute action shot, so I thought I would share. h thinks soccer is fun, although after about 5 minutes on the field he is tripping and falling and laying on the ground because he's wiped out. It's rather comical though to watch. Being the people watcher he is, he sits back and watches what the rest of the team is doing and goes from there. If he thinks it's okay he joins in, if not then he goes about doing whatever he feels like doing (picking his fingers, laying on the field, staring off into space). Anyhow, thought I'd share with you osme pictures here. Oh yeah, and here's the face he makes when he's very serious about it. :) LOL

First Time Home Buyers

Well, Paul and I took the leap to be first time home buyers. We made an offer on Monday night and the sellers accepted by Tuesday morning. Holy Cow has it been a whirlwind since then! LOTS of paperwork to do. We are set to close on Oct 14th as long as everything works out with inspections, appraisals and such. So we'll keep you all posted, just wanted to share our good news!! If you want to see more pictures, it is listed under Coldwell Banker here in Great Falls and the MLS # is 09-1920.

High Heel A Thon video and results

So I booked it for the babies and got 2nd place. I just could NOT get past the lady in front of me, she was fast! I had my heels duct taped on a ran as fast as I possibly could. What a marvelous idea that was, thanks to Corie! The event raised over $2000 and there were only 15 participants, so I think that's pretty good for the first year. I included the video Paul took, I am the closest one on the left with pink pants on (next after that is Charli, Sam, and Tori all in a row). It was fun, but I aspire to kick that lady's butt next year!!

These shoes were made for running.......

And on Saturday that's what they're going to do! I (along with a few of my girlfriends) will be running in the high-heel-thon on Saturday morning to benefit the March of Dimes. So wish me luck and hope I don't break my neck, twist my ankle, gfet road rash on my face, or anything else that could possibly go wrong! I think I might duct tape them to my feet so they don't fall off! Hey they were only $6 shoes, so I don't really care!

Okay, we had our Moms Night Out and practiced down the alley. Notice the tape I'm using matches my shoes (THANKS CARRIE!!) We had quite a fun time and everyone else got a kick out of it too!

Winston's Treasure Box

We made a race-car treasure box to be auctioned off at the Great Falls Public Library at the end of the month. It was what Winston wanted to do, so we made it happen. We painted it blue, added flames, put some sweet wheels on, colored on a windshield, stickered it up and even added mufflers with bobby pins, what a blast we had. doing it! The treasure inside is 3 mini race cars, making ours the best one out there!! These are auctioned off to help fund next years prizes/books for the summer reading program. So it's an awesome creative craft for kids that ultimately benefits them in the end too. The auction is Thursday July 23rd from 2-5pm at Library Park here in Great Falls (behind the library), if you are able to come out and support or even just check them out, please do!!
