Halloween

Halloween this year was a lot of fun and we actually went trick-or-treating twice! Madison was mad in her picture cause I was making her stay with us, plus she didn't want her picture taken.

We had our wonderful angry birds. Dave has a costume too that hopefully I can get a picture of someday. I made the angry bird costumes for the kids and I loved that I could do this for them.
Mckenzie loved the houses that just had a bowl out and a sign to take some candy. She didn't last long and that is okay cause we have more than enough candy to last us.

Our Family Pumpkin

This is our families submission to the pumpkin decorating contest at the church Halloween Party. And guess what ......WE WON 1ST PLACE!!!!

Mckenzie and I didn't get to go but we were there in spirit.

Hopefully tomorrow I can get some good pictures of the kids in costume.

Maybe...

Maybe one day I will post with pictures.....nah. Just kidding.

You know it never fails that when we have things that need to be taken care of and have a full weekend someone always get sick. This weekend Mckenzie took the plunge. Fever of 103 for two days, throwing up, sounding like a barking seal, voice is so hoarse. She isn't eating and drinking takes lots of bribery. She is pretty pathetic.
On a good note is she wants to snuggle. This is the child that doesn't sit long enough to snuggle.
So mom is going to stay home this weekend with her during he Halloween festivities.
It is for the better. And it is amazing how things work out.
I just hope my little girl comes back a little bit.....but I will keep the wanting to snuggle!

Are you the kind of friend.....

Well your friends know what's right and your friends know what's wrong
And your friends all know sometimes its hard to choose.
But the friend who helps you see where your choices will lead
Is the kind of friend you never want to lose.

It's that friend who leads with love, doesn't push, doesn't shove
Just reminds you of the truth you've always known.
Then does more than just talk, takes your hand and starts to walk
By your side along the road that leads back home.

And this friend seems to see all the great things you'll be
Even when some things you do would prove him wrong.
But he always believes that the real you he sees
Is a champion he's simply cheering on.

And the love that you feel from a friend that is real
Is more powerful than anything on earth.
For it lifts and it grows and it strengthens and flows
It's what allows the soul to feel just what they're worth.

So many lonely souls are calling
and a brighter star would not be falling
if only they had a friend
a real friend

Everyone hopes to find one true friend who's the kind
They can count on for forever and a day.
Be that friend, be that kind that you prayed you might find
And you'll always have a best friend, come what may
