My Late Halloween Post

Yes, I know Halloween is over,

and it's been over for a while.

This year I tried really hard to talk the kids

into skipping Halloween.

I promised to get them their

favorite candy and we would

watch a movie and pretend that

we were not home.

Somehow three days before Halloween

they turned against me.

So....

We got some candy and got out the fog machine...

And the kids had fun handy out the candy.

The day before Middlest did

"Trick or Treat for Education"

with her friends

to earn money for her Washington trip.

They were the Three Blind Mice.

Bonus blast from the past...

An even older picture of Oldest and Middlest,

before Youngest was even born.

Look close and you will see that Middlest

is playing with scissors I left on the steps.

Hey, at least she is not running with them.

Labor Day Weekend Football Kickoff Lifelight

Here's to long weekends, 

season's first kickoff, and

Lifelight.

We enjoyed watching the first game of the season.

We also started a project that we have been

needing to do this weekend.

We did not get it all done

so the rest will have to wait for next weekend.

Then maybe I will share.

Oldest and Middlest went to Lifelight and had a great time.

For those that do not know,

Lifelight is Christian music festival located in South Dakota. 

It started in 1998 on a church lawn and has grown

into something big.

They left at 5:30 a.m.

They travel with a group  from church and they know some friends that get there the day before.

One of their friends have grandparents that lives there and they let them sleep in their basement.

They come home pretty tired but always glad they got the chance to go.

They come home with signed t-shirts, signed posters, and cd's, probably signed too.

They come home excited and very talkative until they crash.

Poor Oldest, she also had cross country practice tonight.

What did you do for your long weekend?

Whatever you did, I hoped it was a good one.
