Hope your Thanksgiving was exciting!

Race Walks!!!

Well he doesn't look too Sunny here, but I had to show off a shirt Crissy sent Race.

Just had to show the pic of the nicest CAN you will ever see. It was at the wedding which was held outside. The stairs and sign which read Comfort Elite made me curious, but nothing could have prepared me for this. I wanted to sleep in here instead of my tent! It even had a pedal flusher and A.C.

Weekend Getaway

Two weeks ago Kirb and I dropped the kids with my parents in Houston and headed a couple of hours north to Kosse TX. Kirby's long-time friend Casey was getting married. It was a "camping wedding," Around the corner from the wedding sight there were acres of land and many of the guest camped there overnight. It was soo fun. As you can see we had a blast and my mom was even gracious enough to loan us her new convertible to make the trip in. I had no idea a convertible was this fun. After my mini-van days are over, I gotta have one. ( I really am turning into my mother!)
The guy in the orange sweater is Kirby's other very long time friend, so no worries he's not a wife or bride stealer.

How do you hold all your candy?

In my day, it was bag, a grocery of some type maybe. Well, being the simple mama I am I try to refrain from extra stuff and Halloween buckets is one of them. After buying costumes to please everyone I stood my ground that we would make our bags. Well, time was short and I ended up shoving brown paper bags in their hands with a couple of crayons to decorate with. Claire , was content to scribble on hers and hold it proudly. Gwen.........different story. I could hear her muttering in the back of the van. " I'm a Princess carrying a brown paper bag, a brown paper bag!" Well, a friend of mine who I dearly love for her opposite approach on these matters, quick runs to her car when she spies Gwen's dilemma. She then presents not just a Halloween pumpkin bucket but a pink princess Halloween bucket! Oh my...........where will the madness end?

So we have a Princess, a Lion , a Baby and a Dead guy. We had a terrific time at the Wagners who host the best parties always! No pics of me in my mid-evil times dress, but it was fun wearing it. I ate a magnificent guacamole hamburger and Race discovered his love for Cheetos. Claire was so happy to have a reason and the permission to carry around a bottle. This was last minute costume as she discovered after our fall festival that she hated the puffiness of her ninja turtle costume. Gwen was the prettiest princess I have ever seen, but I could be a little bias......maybe. We paraded the street of Peseta Court with about 20 kids armed with glow sticks and candy bags. and made quite a showing at every door. This has become a tradition for Halloween, so Daniel you better keep those extra glow sticks for next year, cuz I'm pretty sure we're all coming back!
