Trunk or Treating - Happy Halloween!!

Bumping this post up from the other day since it is Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone! Stay safe and get lots of good stuff!


Every year my church puts on a trunk or treat. It is a neat SAFE way for the kids to trick or treat. I don't have to worry about checking thier candy. Its all in one place. Everyone knows my kids, so they can't get lost, or if they do, they know her. and, it's FUN! It starts with a carnival for the kids with fun games. Chloe and Brooke did the eating the donut without using their hands. It was HILARIOUS! Then on to the annual chili cookoff. YUM! Chili and cornbread. mmmmmm. Then trunk or treating. We decorate our trunks and kids come around to each to get candy. SO fun. Here are some pics!

Christmas Shopping

I'm already starting to think about Christmas.

I have been requested already from a member of my husbands family what I want for Christmas. So, today i've been trying to think about what I want. Then I started to think about what to get my kids, my husband, and various other people in my life.

I love to give. LOVE it. I wish that I had more money so that I could give a little something to everyone. Wouldn't that be nice? I think that is my favorite thing about Christmas is the giving. I love to see other people happy. I have to say that I *think* that I am a good gift giver too. I try not to do the whole gift card route, but will in an emergency! haha.

I'm on a quest now to make my kids shopping list and divvy some of it out to my family. So far I want to get the girls a trampoline and a bike. Not cheap things are they? Hopefully it will all work out.

As for me, I have no clue what I want. I told Stuart that I want a pair of diamond earings. HA! We'll see what he comes up with. Check back here the day after and we will see if he remembered.

So, what do YOU want for Christmas?
