Costume Parade

We like to throw a Halloween Party for our kids and their friends, and we just had it on Friday. It was so much fun, and once again Jason was the Man of the Hour. I make up the planning committee. I plan it, shop for it, prepare for it. Jason executes it, and he is amazing. The kids have so much fun playing the games and listening to his non-scary ghost stories. I have fun just being in the midst of all the chaos. I run the food, and make sure no kids are getting left out. I am so glad we do this. My kids look forward to it so much. As I have stated before, Halloween is my favorite holiday. Thanks to all who came, we had a fantastic time!

Once again the Photography Major forgot to take a lot of pictures. I am always so busy at our parties that always forget!!

Why does everything cost money! Why can't we all just switch to a barter system. I'll give you 10 car washes if you give me.... Why does it feel like there is more money going out than coming in. Maybe because the washing machine is on the fritz. Ivy needs to go to the dentist. Emilie needs braces. We need a new door knob on our font door. Emilie's birthday is coming up. Halloween costumes need to be made. Tires need to be bought. And at this point I could really use a massage, or at the very least a girls night out that doesn't include a 3 hour night class.
I'm really thankful we have the money we need, but golly I really like the idea of saving it, not spending it!!


I would now like to apologize for my rant. I just needed to get that out.

Chalk Art and a Big BooBoo, or what happens when you hang out outside.

On Friday my friend Kaaryn, and I were talking about how people never hang out outside in the evenings anymore. As a result of that conversation, and wonderful weather, our little Poyfair clan spent the evening hanging out in front of our house.

Upon hearing that a family is hanging out outside, one might ask oneself, what comes of this kind of activity. Well, I'll tell you. A lot of sidewalk chalk art, and if you do it right, someone will inevitably get hurt. That is exactly what happened at our house last night. And I have the pictures to prove it.
