One Little, Two Little, Three Little Indians...

Today was the Thanskgiving party at Preschool. A few weeks ago my sister, Carli got all excited because the kids were supposed to dress up like an indian or pilgrim for the party. She went and made Tyeson an indian costume that was so cute! I didn't have the time or the want to make Lexi one, but the closer it got the more I wanted to and then my mom talked me into it. We went and bought the stuff for it and my dear, sweet mother ended up making it for her. It turned out darling. Well then my mom and Carli started feeling bad that Wyatt didn't have one. (For those of you who don't know who Wyatt is--he makes many appearances here on my blog--he is just a cute little boy that is Carli's neighbor. She watches him three days a week and I watch him two days a week. He is pretty much just family. He has gone to Chuck E. Cheese with us...twice. He calls my mom Grandma T just like the other kids. SHHH...don't tell him he really isn't a part of our family, it would crush him!) Anyway, so my mom went and bought the stuff and made Wyatt an indian costume too. Here are our three little indians.

I can finally leave the house!

Okay, so I know that I am a tight wad, but I HATE to spend money to fill up my truck. When it comes to driving I avoid doing it at all costs. I will run all of my errands in one trip or stay home...either way, I drive as little as possible. NOT ANYMORE! The good old days are back. Gas prices are always a hot topic with me and my sister (she drives a gas hog too!) At its highest point my truck took $110 to fill up. Are you kidding me? Who could afford that? Well the other day it took under $50 to fill my whole tank up. This is awesome. I have been to my moms like three times this week and I don't even have a heart attack when I have to drive there. It is awesome. The lowest I ever remember gas being since I could drive was $0.88/gallon. I am hold out for that! :-) Yeah right, I will just be happy with $1.87/gallon and hope like crazy it stays there.

New Pictures of the Kids

Don't Forget the Lexi

Yesterday while Lexi was eating breakfast I started making a shopping list. I was asking her things we needed and she reminded me that we needed a new hair brush. I added it to my list of things and we were done. Well later I went back to my list to see that she had added another item to the bottom of my list...

Apparently she wants to make sure I don't forget about her!!!

More Halloween...

The Monday before Halloween we went with my sister to a block party. It was so much fun. The kids had a blast going from one booth to the next. They had cookies to decorate, a fish pond, a scientist's laboratory, ring toss, and hay rides. In the middle of the cul-de-sac they had set up a maze with straw bales. It was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it.

Bracken as Squirt from 'Finding Nemo.' (Yes, he had two costumes--he was a dragon on Halloween.) He pretty much just stays in the stroller because otherwise he is nothing but trouble.

Dash from the Incredibles (Dylan), Barbie Cheerleader (Lexi), and Buzz Lightyear (Tyeson).

Halloween 2008

We had a fun Halloween this past week. It seems like Halloween was a week long this year. It started on Monday and didn't end until Saturday!!! The kids sure had fun and got a lot of candy.

Lexi went as Barbie Cheerleader and Bracken went as a Dragon. (What makes Lexi a "Barbie" cheerleader you ask? Well nothing more than the fact she wanted to be a Barbie for Halloween and we had a cheerleading costume already. I convinced her that she was Barbie Cheerleader, which she enthusiastically agreed to!!! Phew, worked out good for me.)

Our fellow Trick or Treaters. Jackson, Morgann, Lexi, and Jakin.

Morgann the Chinese Warrior Princess (or something like that) and Barbie Cheerleader.

We sure had fun!!!!
