Who loves giveaways?!



I found this today from my friend, Kim. She had this link posted on her blog so I thought "Tip Junkie" just sounded way to cute! Who doesn't love "tips." I need one right now on how I can get my house clean for company coming tomorrow in just one short night of cleaning. Did I mention my kids follow behind me and mess up what I just cleaned? Anywho. They are having a 12 days of Junkie giveaway. Today I think is the actual last day. So sorry! Trust me I wish I could have gotten in on this a little sooner myself. They have given away a TON of cute stuff! So check it out @ www.tipjunkie.blogspot.com

But go ahead and enter today! Follow the instructions for entry. Come on if I can follow it so can you! :)

Then once you've entered click on some of the links on Tip Junkie...fair warning...have some time to do so. You'll find yourself being pulled in and wanting to read more!!

Good Luck!

A little past due....Halloween Pics!

So I'm a week late...so sorry. I've set down each night with a goal of typing a blog entry but then I get sidetracked. I had a big craft day with MOPS that I was in complete charge of so I was a little stressed this week. Did I mention is was a Spa Day "craft." So as I should have been relaxed and stress free over the whole thing I was the complete opposite. But now it's over and done with and now I have a chance to blog. So here it is.....

Halloween was GORGEOUS this year. Which I was thrilled with...since Grant's been a baby we've dealt with wearing our winter coats, wearing a rain coat, getting blown away from high winds, and whatever else weather can possibly do. But this year it was different. It was in the high 6o's,sunny, and no wind. We did our normal stops as usual. Course our trick-or-treating is a little different we travel to three different towns during our night. By the time I get home hauling to kids around I AM POOPED. We started at the in-laws, then we ran to my brother's house so we could see my great-niece in her costume, then to my dad's, then we stop at a family friends house, and then this year met up with The Cole's who we see ever year while we are out and about trick-or-treating. They are like family to me so it's always a must to see the boys! Then a few more friend's houses and Grant's bus driver's house and that is it.

Grant went as Batman and Gracie a kitty cat. But for those Batman fans like my nephew's I referred to her as "Catwoman." She is sassy enough to be Catwoman, trust me!

Here are a few pics from our night!


Batman & Catwoman ready to go!


Batman


Kitty Cat a.k.a Catwoman



Mommy and the kids before heading out!

Since we are in the middle of harvest Daddy couldn't come along but he did come up to the house to see his two little gobblins! Oh yeah and there is Chloe, she's a little needy for attention.


This is Grant and one of his closest friends, Clayton. We ran into them in town and I had to get a pictures of both the Batmans!

Here is Trae as the cereal killer, and Kameron the scarecrow with Grant and Gracie. Notice Gracie isn't any to thrilled to set on the bench with them. Little bit scared.

Cousin Bayli took this with her camera phone. I just LOVE this pic of Gracie. She was just so proud to be a kitty!!

Here is the gang at my brother and sister-in-law's house! Notice the little skunk! How cute is she?! That's my great-niece, Brinlei.

So that was our night. It was even an early night in. We were home by 8:30! I was so tired by the time I got the kids in bed that I went to bed shortly after. Way to much fun for mommy I guess! :) Until next year!
