Happy Halloween...Party til the Cows go Home!


It's 77 degrees here today....can't remember a Halloween that was this nice! The morning started out with 20 cows in the open space out back. Jerry called animal control and they said their owner was on his way. Sure enough, a few minutes later, there was the rancher and his border collie rounding up the cows. Thank goodness! They've been out and about lately; must be a hole in a fence somewhere. Hero rolled in cow poop last Sunday; he was covered from head to toe! And, there were cows strolling out in front of our house the other morning. The dogs just go crazy when they see them. Not sure what Hero would do if he came face to face with one, though!




Molly is a puppy this year for Halloween. She was going to be a cowboy on a horse, then a vampire and then she even wanted to be a UPS man. But, we got to return all those costumes because she decided to be the puppy. Megan was a puppy six years ago, and Molly saw that costume hanging in her closet and decided that's what she wanted to be. Megan is Morticia from the Addam's Family and Katie is a whacky witch. Pretty easy this year; usually the girls have more than one costume.

Jerry took the girls to "Boo at the Zoo" last Sunday. Molly had her preschool pumpkin party on Wednesday. The big girls went to "Trick or Treat and Scream Street" at their school last nite with friends from gymnastics while I stayed home with Molly. Jerry said it was pretty lame, but they always have fun with Kaitlyn and Gigi, so glad they went along. Then today we'll take Megan to gymnastics while Katie, Molly and I will go downtown Castle R*ck to "Trick or Treat Street" at the businesses. Then we'll pick up Megan and go trick or treating in the neighborhood. Then we will be done with Halloween...not too bad this year!

Molly is so happy that Halloween is almost over, she's scared by almost everything. She was so excited to see the Christmas tree at the entrance of Wal*mart yesterday!

Dancing with the politicians....

Took this from my cousin Elizabeth's blog (thought it was funny!) and I'm surprised I was able to copy it over here...! I can't wait until November 5th!

Back tracking: 8/13/08 First Day of School!

Molly had her first day of preschool today. She loves her teachers, Ms. Yama and Ms. Nikki; though she calls Ms. Yama "Ms. Mama":) She has 10 other kids in her class and she particularly likes Nic and Kalvin. First couple of weeks of school she was talking about Alvin and I thought she meant Alvin from the Chipmunks...finally figured it out!

Katie, Molly, Megan, Hero and Grover on the way to the bus. Yeah! The big girls are taking the bus again; makes my life a lot easier!
