Happy Halloween

Today started Halloween for us. At school Chanse dressed up and had a fun costume parade. The girls and I watched as he and the rest of his school paraded in their costumes across the stage and down the street. We saw so many fun costumes. Tonight we have Trunk or Treat, tomorrow we have Boo at the Zoo which is always super fun and then we will be bad and Trick or Treat on Sunday. We have also been to Disneyland several times and gone on Haunted Mansion Holiday, which is Chanse's favorite ride. So much fun!! I must also add we decorated for Halloween in the front yard in September so I guess Halloween really started in September. We also had a cousin Halloween party which was a lot of fun for the kids. More fun Halloween pictures to come.

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Chanse

Chanse was playing with a calculator that he got in a kids meal from Wendy's like a year ago. He typed in 5-3 and it said 2. He told me "I put 5-3 and it said it = 2." Then I told him to put in another problem and he did. He then saw it gave him the right answer and he laughed and hugged it and rubbed it to his cheek, closed his eyes, and said "I love this." It was so fun to watch him discover how the calculator worked. He wants to use it on his homework but I told him he couldn't and that he needs to use his head to do his math. He is actually really good at math. I hope it stays that way. So darn cute.

Running

I am still going to work hard on my goal to run three miles in 2 months. I am so sad I can not start today. I have a sick kid home so I don't know when I can get out to run. Hopefully tomorrow or maybe I will be able to tonight.

Halloween Time

OK so I thought I was going to write all the time on my blog. But I haven't obliviously. Well the kids and I have been getting ready for Halloween. If you came to our house you would think it was Halloween everyday. My youngest changes costumes like they are going out of style. I have been thinking about only buying her really nice costumes and she could really wear them as clothes everyday. Seriously she changes about 10 times a day. And when they ask for snacks in a bag like fishes or cereal or whatever can go into a bag for them to hold all three say Trick-or-Treat. It is so funny. These three little ones are so excited for Halloween. I can't wait to take them trick-or-treating where I used to go as a kid and an old kid. I love trick-or-treating. I love seeing how everyone decorates there homes and the costumes everyone are in.

This year I was a little lame in the costume department. I am buying almost everything for the costumes. I am going to make a wig, a bat bow tie, and a holster for my costume. Yes I am dressing up this year. I love dressing up and I have somewhere to wear the costume too. Yea!!! I am way way excited. I can't wait. I will post pictures of my completed projects.

I have also been pondering some goals. I am going to start a running program starting on Monday and work my way up to running 3 miles. I so think I can do this and hopefully get into better shape. After having three kids and no time for myself I think I deserve to spend a little time each week working on myself. Hopefully I can get into rockin shape in like 12 weeks. So my Christmas present to myself will be to get into shape. Well I guess that is enough ramblings for now. I am planing on reporting back all my success in my workouts.
