Happy Halloween!

I'm already Halloween'ed out and its just now Halloween. Austin is on his second costume because he's been wearing it to so many parties that he got holes in his first one. Don't get me wrong, October is tied with December for my favorite month. Not weather wise because I love the long lazy days of summer but I LOVE the busyness of October and December. There's always something free to do and that makes me happy:-) Anything to keep the kids occupied, smiling, and looking forward to the next day even though they have to go to school. I'm sold! I try every week to have something exciting but October and December have so much that the rest of the months are just blah.

We have some amazing friends Amy and Rich Pence that live a subdivision over from us so we headed over there to trick or treat. Kaleb and Ava(their daughter) are "boyfriend/girlfriend" so they had to trick or treat together. Were so glad our kids are liking each other and we have already planned the wedding.

Were going to an island somewhere and making it a vacation for all of us. Man I hope my dreams come true. Ha ha, I know they won't but I hope Kaleb finds someone as sweet as Ava and is brought up like she is. Her parents are amazing. Oh wait, they have the same principals as us. That's hard to find these days and it blows my mind! Okay so I could go on and on. I know your waiting for the pictures.

Ava is the Candy Corn if you couldn't figure it out. The little girl dressed up as the Angel likes Austin but he laughs and says I'm a boy and your friend but not your boyfriend. Kaleb is completely smitten and so am I. I love her!

Kaleb's Report card

For some reason Kaleb's teacher has ZERO communication with parents. I'm the assistant room Mom and she won't even schedule a meeting with the Room Mom and me to find out what in the world were suppose to do. I've only seen three packets of papers come home so I have no clue how Kaleb's doing in school. Until today:-)

I love report card day. I get so excited because I already know what the grade should be(according to my kid) and I hope he's telling the truth! Luckily, he was. He got all A's and a B in math. He hates math and adds just like I do. Yes, I still use my fingers and toes. Pathetic, I know. I'm thinking he's gonna need a tutor to change his habits but it never helped me. Maybe I shouldn't have been the person to teach him to add. Its too late now!!!!!!!!!!!!

Down and Dirty Part II

The boys loved watching all the people race through the mud pit so they decided to do the kids run.

Down and Dirty!

Today we went to the LuvMud race at Shelby Farms. Brian did a 5K(3.1 miles) race with obstacles which ended in a mud pit. I dislocated my shoulder on Friday so I sat this one out. It looked like so much fun though:-(

Our Little Ninja!

The boys have joined Kempo Karate. Both of them got uniforms tonight but Kaleb was too hot so he took his off before I could take a picture. Here's Austin sporting his uniform and samurai pose.

My Big Boy Austin

Words can't describe the hurt I have in my heart about losing him to Kindergarten. He makes me laugh, cry, be crazy, and be who I want to be. He says what I'm thinking and knows me better than I do and he's only 5. We both hear a noise and giggle thinking the same thing without saying a word. I'm gonna be lost without him! He completes me more than I complete him and I couldn't be any prouder! If you ever get to know Austin you will see how truly amazing he is. He's an absolute character! He wants to move to Hollywood and be on TV but I'm not moving away from Brian and Kaleb so he's staying in Collierville!

He has an amazing personality that rubs off on everyone he meets. I don't care if your a bum on the street or the president. He's gonna make you smile. I have a lot of errands to do so of coarse he comes with me. He gets at least 5 complements a day about his hair (he has GREAT hair) he's started saying " I know duh". With a little cocky grin. I really wish people would stop talking about his hair because he gets so many complements that he knows he's cute! He smiles and people see those big blue eyes and curly hair. He gets anything he wants from stangers. Seriusly, I could make some money off of him! He gets free stuff all the time:)

Happy 4th of July!

We've been in the pool since 9, and eaten 3 Popsicles. So far the 4th has been amazing!
