My Halloween Invites

So, here they are....This year's Halloween Party invitations. Now you see the significance of the sad candy corn. I spent time doing them, and didn't get to use them, so I thought I would share here. ENJOY!

6th Annual Halloween Party.....CANCELED!

I was so excited as I began to do invites and make plans for the 6th Annual Halloween Party. I've done one ever since Kenny was 1 years old and I've loved to invite the moms as well. But with the move, it has really messed this tradition up. I made the guest list, then the invites and started handing them out. When I went to the neighbors, I discovered that they would be out of town that weekend. And then a sister-in-law had another party to go to the same weekend and was struggling with the decision....so I canceled it. All of that and this being a busy week with Parent/Teacher Conference and a very messy house left me with very little ambition. So, it's official, NO PARTY!

It snowed everywhere but...

So, this past weekend was really cold and that included snow. YUCK! I knew it was cold when I woke up and I figured there was snow, but when I looked outside, my yard was as green as ever. All the neighbors had tons of snow, but not us. What happened? The kids were sad. Our neighbors were showing off at 9 am making a miniature snowman. But not my kids. It took me awhile and I finally figured it out. My sprinkler system went off early in the morning and melted all the snow before we could see it. It was pretty funny driving down our street and and seeing snow everywhere, and our yard practically glowing. It made me feel warm inside, until I stepped outside. BURRR!
