Trick or Treat?

The girls had a fun filled Halloween. It started on Thursday with a Halloween Parade and Party at school. Then on Friday, they went trick or treating with friends. Here are some pictures from both events. You will be able to tell which event is which because Sarah's face is painted at the school events where Bethany's is not, and Bethany's face is painted on Halloween where Sarah's is not. I don't think Sarah liked the face paint. She said it made her itch. Bethany wanted to save the face paint until Friday.

They were too cute.
And it wasn't planned.

Car Update

I had the rental all week last week. I turned it in Saturday and picked up my car, which is still not fixed. So after two new parts, they have decided it is a fluid that goes in the transfer case. Don't ask me what that is; I have no idea. I am back there on Friday for two hours to have the fluid from the transfer case replaced. The only bad thing is that the girls are out of school. Luckily there is a mall and K-Mart within walking distance. I will have to put the "No" Mommy on duty that day.

I tell you... I get so tired of saying "no" all the time and watching their faces fall. I tell them they wouldn't have to deal with disappointment if they didn't ask for everything when we went to a store to "LOOK". They still don't get the meaning of just "looking".

Home Sick

Bethany came home from school yesterday with diarrhea ... Lovely. She had it at school but didn't tell anyone. She said she got tired of having to go to the bathroom every few minutes. Other than that, she is fine. She has been eating and playing like normal. This morning she got up and went to the bathroom three times before we left for school. So I decided to keep her home. Only, now she hasn't gone to the bathroom once since we dropped Sarah off at school at 7:50 and it is now 9:30. Better to be safe than sorry. Then I find out that there are others (students and staff) out with the stomach flu or similar symptoms.

I have plenty of stuff to keep me busy while she sits at home. There is laundry to be washed, folded, ironed and put away. There are bathrooms to be cleaned. There is a guest room to be re-organized. I'm not sure how that got out of hand but it looks like a bomb went off in that room. Oh, and the never-ending hot spot... the girls' room. I just want to take a very lard trash bag in there and throw everything away. It is so disgusting.

I am off to iron. That has got to be done today. Otherwise, Myron will have to wear the same pants every day and possibly the same shirt.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!

That's right. It snowed for the first time this season. It is October 28th ... just crazy. But very beautiful.

Bethany's Face

I know it is not a good picture. I messed up. I didn't pay attention to the light coming in the window. Hopefully, you can make out the paint job. Can you guess what she is?

I Voted

Yep, I did. We got up this morning and went to vote. It was very nice to go ahead and get it over with. Plus, there were no lines ... YIPPEE!! We were so unsure how Myron was going to get his vote counted with him working two counties away and not getting home until after the polls closed. We got a card in the mail showing early voting hours from 9 until 1 on Saturday. Well, that worked for us. We loaded up the girls and drove on over.

This afternoon Bethany had a birthday party to attend. They had a clown there that was doing face painting and balloon characters. Bethany's face was so well done but you will never guess what it is. I will try to post a picture tomorrow.

I am supposed to be downstairs helping Myron paint but he gave me a glass of wine that is hitting me pretty hard tonight. And I haven't even finished the whole glass yet. It must be pretty strong. The sad thing is... I don't really like it but am trying to finish it. I don't like being wasteful.

Okay, I have got to get off here. I am watching a Christmas item on Ebay and have to be checking on that in a few hours.

Have a good night!!

High School Musical 3

That is right. We went to the opening day of HSM 3 at the movies today. This was my first time ever seeing a movie on opening day. Our school and Asheville City Schools were out today. I ordered our tickets a few weeks ago on-line. I went last night to pick them up so we wouldn't have to wait in line today. I found out that the theater had already sold over 100 tickets for Friday and were sold out on Saturday. The theater was crowded but not packed. There were still a few seats available.

I found out that the theater opened at 12:30. We got there around that time. We were the first ones there. We joked that we were surprised that there weren't campers out in the parking lot. But it wasn't bad at all.

A couple of us Moms were tearing up at the end. I mean, they are graduating. There can't possibly be another sequel. Zac and Vanessa make love look so easy. I am definitely living through my girls right now. I really enjoy watching those movies.
