Halloween Pics

Sorry I know I haven't posted in a while.  It's just been really busy lately.  I think it might stay that way till after the New Year LOL.  I have no idea where the time is do you?

Here is a few  pics of the boys in their Halloween outfits.  I would post more but some of are of my niece and nephews because we went with my BIL and SIL Trick or Treating.  We had to show them the good place for candy LOL.  So here are pics of just before we left the house to go Trick or Treating.

 
Jarod the Clone Trooper and Chord Luke Skywalker.
Pretty creative on Chord's part LOL.  He took his Ninja costumes from a couple years ago (it was bought big) and took Jarod's cape from last years Costume of Darth Vader and a black glove for one of his hands and of course one of their Lightsabers LOL.  Jarod just used Chord's costume from last year.  This is what they wanted so it was pretty cheap this year LOL.  The only things that were bought were the gloves from Big Lots for $1.25 for two pairs (Jarod is wearing gloves too) and the blaster which was $8.50 at Walmart.  The Lightsaber the already had.  Not bad for two costumes huh? LOL.  Anyway here are the other two pics.

 

I love Jarod's Serious face on this one LOL.  Chord looks pretty serious too LOL. Figures the one I like most is the one hubby took LOL.  I took the other two :P. 

Well I will try and post better but I can't say I can promise.  So much to do and so little time.  Do you find yourself busy this time of year too? 

Yesterday and NANO

Don't have pictures uploaded to my computer yet so I can't post any pics as of yet. I will get them uploaded tomorrow. We left for the MOMS Club Halloween party at 10:15 a.m. It was early but I wanted to see if they needed help setting anything else up. They set most of it up the night before so I didn't have to do anything. I would have helped them the night before but with only having one car and my hubby having to work afternoons just wasn't possible. Hubby took off work yesterday so we could take the boy's Trick or Treating so I did help to clean up after the party. Boy did that tire me out. We moved tables, a chair that was used for picture taking and of course cleaned up the mess that was left behind. So in total I was there for about four hours. We didn't get home from the party till after two p.m. Then we left for Trick or Treating at five p.m. and it started at five-thirty p.m. We didn't get home till just after seven. The boy's had taken a nap between all that but I didn't and I probably should have LOL. I went to bed at just after ten p.m. Almost as soon as I hit the pillow I was out.
This morning though I was so sore. Not even from walking all that we did because my let muscles aren't even sore. It was all from cleaning up at the party. My stomach feels like I have done 100 push-ups and my left arm is more sore than my right arm for some reason. Funny seeing how I am right handed LOL. It's probably more sore since I don't use it as often as my right. Needless to say I haven't done much except clean the kitchen today LOL. At least I got some sleep I really needed it LOL.
I am doing the Nano novel writing again this year www.nanowrimo.org. I am going to try to write at 50,000 word novel before the end of the month. You start from Nov. 1 to the end of Nov. Granted it might not be all that good but hey it's starts the process right? I did it last year but didn't get to 50,000 words. I hope to this year. So I posted a meter to hopefully keep me on track. Last year I just got side track with life LOL. Hopefully this year will be better. It's really fun just trying to think of stuff at the top of your head to write about. I'll try to keep it updated. Today was the first day and so far as you can see I have about 2,124 words. I actually did a little more after I put it up but that's ok. This will hopefully give me a head start. Wish me luck LOL.

This and That. That and This

Sunday we didn't get to church. Because H. didn't get home from helping his friend till four a.m. He even woke me up when he got home LOL. That's ok though because we went outside for a minute and looked at the stars. It was really pretty. That's one thing that is nice about living a bit out in the country because you can really see the stars. They were so bright! So I guess getting me up at that time of night (morning) turned out ok LOL. We were pretty much lazy for the rest of the day LOL.
Today was a pretty normal day. Woke up at seven a.m. I woke the boy's, they had breakfast and brushed their teeth and got dressed. Then I let them play till eight a.m. and we started school. C. and I are having fun learning about George Washington. We are making a project out of it. He is really learning a lot from it and I am too LOL. That's one thing I really love about homeschooling too is that I can learn right along with them. Keeps my mind sharp LOL. We all finished just before 11 a.m. and they went and played together while I got tomorrow's lesson planned and printed and the house cleaned up some and then it was dinner time. Not too many dull moments in this house LOL.
Tomorrow is Tuesday so it's laundry day. Which means it's time to go to the Laundromat. I got all the clothes ready and the boy's school stuff packed to go tomorrow. I do school a little with them while we are there. Keeps them busy and keeps our schedule a bit on target. But if something happens our schedule can be changed and not a big deal. Another great thing about homeschooling LOL.
Instead of going "Trick or Treating" on Halloween, we are going to go to the Zoo this weekend and do it there. They do it every year and we have a membership there so it's only a small fee to do it other wise. Plus we did it a couple years ago and the boy's loved it. So I know they will love it this year too! We have had their costumes for a month now LOL. They have been counting down the day's. C. is going to be a Clone Trooper and J. is going to be Darth Vader. LOL can't tell they love "Star Wars" can you? LOL. My brother got them into that. I have to really be sure to thank him for that(Insert rolling eyes) LOL.
