A Goofy Halloween

Halloween has come and gone.  I'm glad.  I ate WAY too much candy.  Two bags of Brach's Autumn Mix, you know the bag with chocolate candy corn, regular candy corn and those pumpkins, to be exact.  I ate so much that I really got sick of it and it started to taste yucky...but then I kept eating it.  I need to work on my self-control. :)

We had a Dave Ramsey approved costume this year.  (Don't know Dave Ramsey?  More about him to come soon.)  We borrowed a Goofy costume from some friends.  Thomas was afraid of the hat part at first, but he warmed up to it.  We went trick-or-treating at Shawn's office on Friday afternoon.  Then, that night, our church had a fall festival.  Thomas' favorite part was hugging the Chick-Fil-A cow.  We visited him a number of times and Thomas got to hug him one of those times.  The hug lasted so long that we had to ask him to let go.  He loves the cow!  On Saturday the Museum of Natural Sciences in Downtown Raleigh had a Halloween event where the kids could wear their costumes and there were display tables of lots of Halloween-y animals and creepy-crawlies.  Shawn stood on the other side of the hallway with another mom while Thomas and I touched the snakes.  It was fun.

By Sunday night, which was actually Halloween, we were all Halloweened out and decided to stay home, relax and carve our pumpkins.  I think they turned out pretty well, don't you?

The Father Knows Best

Just wanted to pen a quick note in support of my very best friend in the world.  Kendal has ventured into the world of blogging.  She is not doing a "keep the family updated on my kids, etc." blog, she is doing what I call a "mommy blog".  I've been spending more time lately reading some of the good blogs out there that are supportive of Christian women and moms.  There is really some quality info out there and sometimes the little posts become somewhat of a devotional time for me, as they can be very thought provoking.

Kendal's new blog is titled "The Father Knows Best".  She will be be discussing "God's will for our lives as women, wives and mothers."  If you have any interest, or even if you don't, hop over and support her blog.  I've put her button on the bottom right hand side of this blog or you can find her at http://www.thefatherknowsbest.com/.  Enjoy!  I know I will...  :)
