I went trick-or-treating with my best friend and James and Emily's best friends. It was a lot of fun and the police and fire department go around military housing and hand out king size candy for military kids. It's really need and the kids loved the flashing lights and they felt special. It's nice since daddy is on deployment now.

Cole wasn't going to go trick-or-treating until this group of 6th graders showed up...he decided to join them for a while.

I worked a very busy nine hour shift at Halloween store, today, without a break & running on very little sleep the night before. It was so nice to see this smiling face greeting me when I got home!

Turner School didn't have it's annual 'Spookarnival' last year, since no one was willing to volunteer to put it together. This year, a group of teachers & staff decided to chair the event, along with a group of parents. This game had been part of Spookarnival for years, dating back to long before my kids when to the school. We saw it behind the dumpster when we got to the school to volunteer & attend the event. Shelby's hoping that they were just storing it there, deciding not to use it this year, but keeping it for future fun fairs.

We've been meaning to clean the basement for lots of reasons lately - and so, I started today with cleaning off the stairs...and I didn't get very far...what a pain!

Our troop is going to make fleece tie blankets at each meeting, to donate to the NICU. It's part of the 100 hours of service we hope to do as a troop, to celebrate Girl Scouting's 100 year anniversary.

We went to the doctor today to discuss Gianni's "sleep issues" - we came up with a plan that included crying and a gate - praying for this to work!
