Halloween Time

Well Halloween is almost here one of my favorite times of the year. I miss having our Halloween parties but maybe next year. I love to see kids costumes and I love to take our children out Trick or Treating. It takes me back to when I was a kid and my dad would take me out all over the neighborhood trick or treating. I would get loads of candy usually a couple bags full. Now a days you have to be more careful but the kids do pretty good. I take them to family and around a park and to some churches that do Trunk or Treat ( people put candy in the trunks of their cars and sit out in the parking lot of the church to give the kids candy or toys.) Both my kids like to do that. Over the weekend we had to go to a couple of Halloween parties. My cousin was throwing one for the 4H poultry club. We had to go their to give her the eggs I made for here party. We stayed long enough for me to get a few pictures.

The first pic is what my cousin made that she called catepillar, and the second pic is string cheese fingers.

These pics are our daughter Faith standing next to a couple of the decorations they put up for the party.

This is my cousins daughter Lindsey dressed up for the party as Cindy Lou Who.

This is my cousin dressed as a cloud in her hand is a spray bottle. She would say Partly cloudy with a chance of rain and then squirt you.

I didn't get pics from the other party because it was to dark but it was a Halloween birthday party. There was a bon fire, a haunted hayride, and a haunted trail. The kids had a blast.

Here are pics of our daughter Faith in her costume for this year. She is The Little Mermaid Areil. Sorry The pics are blurry I forgot to change the settings. Have a good and safe Halloween.

Frankenstein's Eyes

I used to have Halloween parties every year and everyoone would have a blast. I would come up with some crazy looking food for everyone to eat. Actually most of the food came from magazine articles but just the same everyone enjoyed. We would decorate the house outside and all through the house for these parties. Well I wanted to share a recipe I use to do for the parties. You need eggs, mustard, mayonaisse, red gel and black chopped olives. Hard boil the eggs and devil them like you normally would, add a black olive to the center of the egg halves and place red gel around the olive to make red lines. Wah Lah Frankenstein's Eyes. Enjoy and Happy Halloween.

Worth Sharing

A father wanted to read a magazine but was being

Bothered by his little girl, Shelby.

She wanted to know What the United States looked like.

Finally, he tore a sheet out of his new magazine on

Which was printed the map of the country.

Tearing it Into small pieces, he gave it to Shelby and said, "Go Into the other room and see if you can put this together.

This will show you our whole country today."

After a few minutes, Shelby returned and handed him The map, correctly fitted and taped together.

The Father was surprised and asked how she had finished
So quickly.

"Oh," she said, "on the other side of the paper is a
Picture of Jesus..

When I got all of Jesus back where
He belonged,

then our country just came together."

It's My 35th Birthday Today!

Well today is my 35th birthday. I quit celebrating a few years ago, but over the years I have had some good birthdays. One time in high school my mom got Randy (my hubby now) and a couple of my other friends to keep me in the school cafeteria for a delivery I didn't expect. My mom had sent a singing Gorilla gram with flowers to me at the school in front of everyone. I was so emabarrassed.

Most of my birthday parties growing up were halloween birthday party celebrations. Everyone would come dressed up in costumes and we would just hang out , eat cake, chips, bob for apples, listen to music, we always had a good time.

This year Randy of The Way I See It got me what I wanted a new Bible. He also got me a a cpl of t-shirt's. I feel birthday 's are really special even if you don't celebrate them like when you was a kid. I just hope this coming year is a lot better than the past few.

Faith's 4th Birthday Party

Randy of The Way I See It and my baby girl turned 4 today. We celebrated her birthday Saturday the 11th. Gage had went to spend the night Friday with his god parents. He made i t to sis's party. SO on saturday morning the 3 of us went out to eat breakfast at Denny's, then we went to the local mall to look at the store Steve & Barry's. When we got back home I had to finish decorating for Faith's birthday party. I made her cake Friday night. She wanted the Mr. Men Show (cartoon network), so I drew all the characters for the decorations. Here are some of the photo's of the pary. She really had a blast.

Poem : Went To A Party Mom

I recieved this in an an email which I did forward on to some to be signed and sent back to MADD (Mother's Against Drunk Driving). I wanted to post the poem because it made me cry and it speaks a lot of truth.

Went to a party Mom

I went to a party,
And remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
so I had a sprite instead.

I felt proud of myself,
The way you said I would,
that I didn't drink and drive,
though some friends said I should.

I made a healthy choice,
And your advice to me was right.
The party finally ended,
and the kids drove out of sight.

I got into my car,
Sure to get home in one piece.
I never knew what was coming, Mom,
something I expected least.

Now I'm lying on the pavement,
And I hear the policeman say,
the kid that caused this wreck was drunk,
Mom, his voice seems far away.

My own blood's all around me,
As I try hard not to cry.
I can hear the paramedic say,
this girl is going to die.

I'm sure the guy had no idea,
While he was flying high.
Because he chose to drink and drive,
now I would have to die.

So why do people do it, Mom
Knowing that it ruins lives?
And now the pain is cutting me,
like a hundred stabbing knives.

Tell sister not to be afraid,
MomTell daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven,
put ' Mommy's Girl' on my grave.

Someone should have taught him,
That it's wrong to drink and drive.
Maybe if his parents had,I'd still be alive.

My breath is getting shorter,
Mom I'm getting really scared
These are my final moments,
and I'm so unprepared.

I wish that you could hold me Mom,
As I lie here and die.
I wish that I could say, 'I love you, Mom!'
So I love you and good-bye.

Stupid Remarks

I received this an email and just had to share with all of you!

If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!!

A United States Marine was taking some college courses
between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan .
One of the courses had a professor who was an atheist and a member of the
ACLU. One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked
to the ceiling and flatly stated, 'God, if you are real, then I want you to
knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes.' The lecture
room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by and the
professor proclaimed, 'Here I am God. I'm still waiting.' It got down to
the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to
the professor, and cold-cocked him; knocking him off the platform. The
professor was out cold. The Marine went back to his seat and sat there,
silently. The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking
on in silence. The professor eventually came to, noticeably shaken, looked
at the Marine and asked, 'What the heck is the matter with you? Why did you
do that?' The Marine calmly replied, 'God was too busy today protecting
America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff and
act like an idiot. So, He sent me.'

Blogger Back

I just wanted to announce that my hubby is back to blogging. Let's show him some love and stop by and encourage him to post. He has some wonderful insite on various subjects even if you don't agree with him. His name is Randy and his site is The Way I See It.

Birthday Plans!

Well for the past few weeks I have been making birthday decorations for my daughter's 4th birthday. I have been drawing the Mr. Men & Little Miss characters. Sis will be 4 on the 14th of this month and I will be 35 on the 16th. I have this thing about me that if I can draw it or make it I will instead of buying it. We are having her party on the 11th and I will take pictures to show you. Since most people haven't heard of the Mr Men men show I included an episode from cartoon network. Enjoy!
