Halloween

This year Jeff decided to dress up. He was a fireman and I was his "Damsel in Distress" He borrowed our neighbor uniform and we had a lot of fun with it. We went to the Henley's Open House and enjoyed spending time with friends. Shayne was once again a Delta Force army guy. He and I went around our neighborhood and got lots of candy which we have already seperated so that each of us get our favorites. It was a fun year.

Shayne has lost 2 teeth in 2 days. Last night after the second tooth the tooth fairy ran our of quarters so before he went to be she just handed him a dollar and asked for the tooth. It was so much easier that way. He liked it to since he's knows the tooth fairy is Mom. Hopefully those teeth slow down. I forgot about the molars coming out. This tooth fairy may be broke soon!!

To get you caught up

Shayne went to a Halloween Party Friday night. He is a Delta Force army guy. Jeff and I went to the party also. We had a scavengar hunt which was so much fun. Shayne said it was the best party he had ever been to.

Sunday night was our Fall Festival at church. Jeff and Shayne carved our pumpkin this year and I was so happy that I didn't have to clean guts out of a pumpkin. I hate that job. We had a great time and actually won 2 great door prizes. Shayne won a huge bucket full of halloween snacks and decorations. There was a Mr Potato Head in there that you can dress like a ghost. We put it in the bay window and Star just barked and barked at it. She thought it was hers to play with.

Overall, it was a great weekend. Great weather. Looking forward to Trick or Treating Wednesday night. Happy Halloween.

The Zoo

Shayne and I had a day to ourselves today so we decided to hit the zoo. We spent about 2 hours there and then it started raining so we decided to leave. Got a few cute pictures. Shayne is wearing some camoflauge. Says he looks like a vietnam marine guy. The Gorillas were posing today and Shayne is next to a Red Panda in the picture above this one.

Shayne's home

I'm happy now. He looked very happy when he got off the bus. Looked like he'd had a great time. He said he liked fishing the best. Said that he had a hard time falling asleep at night but he eventually did. He's glad he went and so am I. He didn't shower the whole time he was gone...says he doesn't shower when he's camping. Came back with everything but a pair of sweat pants. Not too bad. He took a disposable camera too, anxious to see those pictures. He said he took pictures of planes that flew over. That is so Shayne. It'll probably be pictures of the sky. Hope he took pictures of things he did too. Anyway, we're glad he's home. He wants "real" pizza for dinner. (they apparently served school pizza for lunch today)

A Quiet House

Shayne left this morning for 5th grade camp. He won't be back until 2:00 on Friday afternoon. It was so strange putting him on the bus this morning and knowing I wouldn't be seeing him again until Friday. I'm freaking out a little but we'll make it through. It helps to know that he was very excited about going. They will do archery, Fishing, S'mores, orientering and a ropes course. Plus crafts and other things. I remember my experience at Pattonvilles camp, it was 6th grade then. I had a great time. I know he will too. But everyone keeping him and Jeff and I in your prayers would be nice. I'll let everyone know how his trip was. I'm counting down the days already till he gets home. Isnt' that terrible?

pictures to share

Nothing new or exciting has been happening so I thought I'd share some pictures of Shayne and Star.
