Happy Fall

First, I want to apologize for not posting updates in the last few months. Due to the recent loss of my mother, I was in no mood to get back to normal. That included updating my life since my life had come to a screeching halt. However, life must go on (as difficult as that can be at times) and I really do enjoy updating the family blog. Plus, this blog was something that mom LOVED looking at and sharing. So, here I am... again.

Here is a photo of the kids Halloween. We all had fun choosing costumes this year. Matthew was easy and not a cent was spent! He put on all his own hockey gear and was ready to go. He did choose not to wear his skates at the last minute which shocked me. How much fun that would have been to go door to door on skates? Drew went back and forth for weeks and finally settled on the wicked witch. She really wanted blood all over her face, but I talked her out of it. We have no idea where she got the blood idea, but she told us that all costumes for Halloween are supposed to have blood. Rebecca is not a fan of Halloween and did not want to participate. However, when her fabulous teacher got wind that she didn't want to come to school for the parade, they worked a deal. Mrs. Mass went as a witch and Rebecca was her black cat. She was so excited to walk in the school parade. Come Halloween night, she did choose to stay home. The kids came home with a ton of candy as usual, and I have been busy eating it ever since. Happy Fall.
