Oh the plans of mice and men...

Many plans have been way laid the last few weeks. My heart has been random and not very kind to me, the kids are taking turns catching this funky cold/sore throat virus thing, and Jestin is having troubles with almost all of his scheduling for the small jobs he has this week (nothing seems to be going to right to finish what he starts so he can move on!). BUT! We are rolling with the punches though and still in utter amazement at the miracle of Jestin sight! We are blessed!

Halloween is sneaking up on us! Caleb wants to be a skeleton again this year (nice and easy) and he put the letters R I P on our front door. When a neighbor asked him about them, and what it meant, he quickly replied it says rip (duh) and "dats 'cause dey goin' RIP my skin off so I can be a skeleeeton dis year!" Ummm... yeah. Nice and graphic! Ahhh... the twisted mind of my Halloween addicted 5 year old. He LOVES Halloween. His all time favorite movie is "The Nightmare Before Christmas"... and has been since he was 3! Needless to say this month has been AGONY for the poor boy and all he can talk about is our family's annual neighborhood Halloween party with scones and all his friends, trick or treating and scaring Grandma next door. LOL

Emmalee is gently reminding us, almost daily, that her birthday is coming up fast! I have 15 days left before I become the official mother of a teenager. (*gulp*) She is sweet in her requests for presents. I got a detailed list of what she would like (hardley anything) and how/why they would be a good gift for her! Tee hee! She is SO cute! Her biggest request is "a shopping day with my Mom". Bless her heart. I hate to shop. She loves to shop. And she loves to shop with me. (LOL) I am not sure what I do right to make it so fun... lol... but I am honored that she loves to go with me so much! I have to admit we do giggle a lot looking at clothing etc people pay HUGE amounts of money on... only to drip ketchup on it, or ruin it in the wash. We both are not label girls that's for sure! maybe she likes that about our trips? Finding that great item for a great price? *grin* I sure love my little girl!!!

In other news... Jestin is still applying for many jobs. He has has more interviews etc... which is HUGE! We keep our hopes high and our prayers ferverent.

In random news... I signed up to be Cody's Room Mother, mostly because NO ONE signed up to help in his class. And now here I am... days before Halloween Party day with a deer in the headlights look! What in the world do you do for 6th graders??? Any thoughts? I need to do some serious googling tomorrow! Ack!
