Happy Halloween

The kids went trick or treating at our usual spots around Loranger. The weather started to get pretty chilly....so we cut our night short....but the kids already had sooo much candy that they had to drag there bags instead of carrying them!! What a great night!!!

Trunk or Treat

This year the LES trunk or treat was HUGE.....there were sooo many people there. The kids really enjoyed seeing their friends dressed up in costumes. The book fair was also going on at school during that time...so we went to the library to check out some books. It was a nice mini halloween for the kids!!

Kase lost his FIRST tooth

Well it finally happened....Kase lost a tooth. He has been waiting sooo long for this day. This tooth has been loose for weeks.....and it was just hanging there....so I wiggled it back and forth and out it came. Kase wasnt too happy about me pulling it....but that all changed when the tooth fairy brought him $3 for it...LOL!!!

Happy 85th Birthday...Pa

Yesterday we had a birthday party for pa at the nursing home. We had cake....and the whole family was there. Me, Keith and the kids, Mary Ann, John Paul, Jonathan, Randy, James, Shirley, Emmit and Darlene, Sandra and her 3 kids, and another grandchild of Emmit's. Pa said he felt good which was nice to hear....since he has had so many bad days in the past. I took pictures of the kids and put them on the wall so he could see them. How blessed we are to have had another year with him!! Thank you Lord!!

Kase and Coby's FIRST Hunting Dogs

A few weeks back Keith and Kase were at a garage sale....and the man raised beagel puppies and dogs...well long story short....Kase was given one by the man for FREE. She is a red and white beagel...very rare for this breed.

Here is Kase and Red

Well of course....Coby had to have one too...so papa paid for him one....he chose a brown and black male....another rare colored...since most have alot of white on them....and he has no white.

Here is Coby and Scooby (was Batman....and will probably change again)

These dogs are for rabbit hunting. The boys love to take them to the woods and let them run...they are so cute chasing rabbits out. They are good kid dogs too....because they dont bite on you....or play rough...they just run at your feet and play with the dog toys.

Camo Kids

Here are the kids dressed in camo for school...to support the BE A HERO EVERYDAY - SAY NO TO DRUGS ralley.

Its been a while.....

Time has just flown by.....where has the month of October went to? Nothing going on here....just working and getting the kids ready for Halloween. They change weekly on what they want to be....this week Kaitlyn is going to be a 'princess' witch...LOL...Kase is between Batman and the Wolverine....Coby...well he has said Buzz lightyear, Ninja turtles, and Optimus Prime from Transformers....so who know which they will actually wear Halloween night....LOL

This last week was National Red Ribbon Week....each day the kids got to dress a certain way....

Monday-was wear snickers for "Don't let drugs sneak up on you"
Tuesday-was wear crazy socks for "Sock it to drugs day"
Wednesday-was wear as much red day for "Wear red rally day"
Thursday-was wear sunshades for "Shade out drugs day"
Friday-was wear camouflage for "Be a hero everyday-SAY NO TO DRUGS"

The kids enjoyed it.....I took a picture of them all dressed up in camo....I still have to upload it...but will post it soon.

Thats pretty much been the week...this next week...we have the book fair, Trunk or Treat, and Halloween....plus I work Wed and Friday thru Tuesday.....so it will be a pretty busy week again!!

I am off....I have a few pages to scrap to get caught up.....before I have the holidays to scrap!!

The Princess and the Pea

Kaitlyn and Coby had a field trip Friday to the Columbia Theater of performing arts in Hammond. The performance was The Princess and the Pea. It was really cute and funny. The local college is the sponsor...and the 'actors' were students from there. The kids all seemed to enjoy themselves. Coby's class went back to school to eat lunch.....but the 2nd graders all went to North Oaks park by the college. A great end to the week.

Kase is still fighting the seasonal flu/cold.....the chest xray on Friday....was clear...but he still is running 101 to 103 fever at times. Once his fever breaks he seems to be doing fine....so we are just playing the waiting game. He has missed 8 days of school because of this crud....but his teacher says he will catch up....because he is very smart. So hopefully....rest, fluids, and prayer will get him over this soon!!

ETA: Hunter (my nephew) came home from the hospital this week. He has been at Children's since his attack by a pitbull. I havent gotten to talk to him...but my dad says the skin graft went well...and he seems to be doing good. Thanks for all the prayers!!

Icky Week

Well this week has been blahhh.....Kase and Coby both have a cold....and now Keith has bronchitis. Kaitlyn has been staying up at Mary Ann's to avoid the black cloud that is hoovering over this house.....LOL. She comes home in the mornings and I take her to school. I will be sooo glad when they are over this crap!! It is really exhausting taking care of sick people at home.....at least at work....I get paid!!! LOL

But on a good note....report cards went out this week...and Kaitlyn got a 3.6 GPA. She had all A's and 2 B's. I am sooo proud of her. She was named the star student of the week by her teacher....how cool is that? She and Coby are suppose to have a field trip on Friday....Coby probably wont be going....but I am chaperoning Kaitlyn's class....so I will get to be there with her.
I am going tomorrow to apply at a Nursing Home closer to home....so I can pick up a few extra hours when I am off from the hospital....... I better get off so I can get some sleep.

Tangipahoa Parish Fair Parade

The parish fair is this week. It runs Wednesday to Sunday. The kids were out of school today for the parade that runs thru Amite. This actually was there first year going to this parade....and they loved it. The weather was nice....and they caught lots of stuff. We plan on going to the fair on Saturday. We went to eat at La Carreta's afterwards as a treat to them for being so good. The morning was so looong that everyone took a nap when we got back home....including ME.....LOL!
