Halloween

Nia got to dress-up for school and they went to some places to trick-or-treat. She came home with a Walmart sack busting at the seams full of candy. Last weekend our church had our fall fest and we got candy there and besides that we already had a bucket full at home, needless to say, we had candy running out our ears. Ian & I went to Nia's Halloween party at school. The teachers were exhausted due to the getting in and out of the bus 20 times that morning so they appreciated the extra help with the pizza party.

Later on that night we went to a fall fest at a local church and the kids got to play some games.

We came home and I cooked supper while dad & kids handed out candy to the trick-or-treaters. We gathered all the candy we had and what had just been given to the kids and I told them to get rid of it. I don't let them have candy but on special occasions so there is no need for it here. Nia was being VERY generous and by the time supper was done (about 20 minutes - it was hot dogs) almost all of it was gone. That's what I'm talking about.

Hard to Believe

Romeo is 30!!!!!
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday We love you!
Happy Birthday to You!!!

We celebrated his birthday today by singing to him this morning while he was still in bed. He wanted Chicken Scaloppini for supper & a Pina Colada cake for dessert. Nia made him a book with pictures of him & her, Ian drew a picture of a birthday cake, & we all committed to serving him in specific ways this next week.

Red Ribbon Week

Remember Red Ribbon Week? Don't Do Drugs!

They were challenged at Nia's school as to who could wear the most red. Prizes were at stack here so we found everything that we could in her drawers that was red. Red leggings with a red skorts over them, red shirt with red sweater/jacket, & red hair bows. She and another girl from her class won. They have not received their prizes yet.

Change Is Coming!

For those of you who don't know yet, We Are Moving! Lots to do before we can actually get to our destination -- Spur, Texas. Before we can put our house on the market there is some much needed painting to do. We added a wall in between the kids room and now it is finally painted. Hopefully we will put it on the market this week. When we bought this house it had been on the market for around 8 months, so we could be waiting a while.

As for the reasons we are moving, I'll just say that God answers prayers. From the time we moved to Oklahoma I always knew that I wanted to go back home but we also knew that God had a plan for us in Oklahoma so we embraced it. It was always me who wanted to eventually return to Spur but it was Romeo that God spoke to in regard to this move.

We could certainly use your prayers in regard to the sell of our house and Romeo's job.
