Orphan

Has anyone seen this movie? Anth and I watched it last night, and I was seriously creeped out!!! Anth started to fall asleep at first, but then this creepy little girl did something so off the wall that he ended up sitting straight up. It was one of those jump out of your seat, cover your mouth in disgust kind of creepy shows. To top it off it had a crazy, don't know how someone could think of that kind of twist at the end. If you watch it, or already have let me know what you think. Maybe I am just a sissy, but I really don't think that is the case with this. I had to watch something funny when it was over to get out of the dark mood it put me in!

On a brighter note...I hope everyone has a great Halloween! We are going to my sister's to paint pumpkins with the kids, do a few games and then go trick-or-treating. Can't wait to see everyone's pictures once they update their blogs with their fesitive nights events :)

Goofy kids

After playing outside for a little bit, and getting wet and cold Syd, Dom and Gabe came in to drink hot chocolate and warm up. This is how the little goofballs drank it....

LOL you would think it would be easier to just pick up the cup, but apparently not!

Are you kidding me???

I can't stand snow, so I am definitely not thrilled that it snowed the last 2 days. The first day it didn't stick out here in Stansbury, but last night it did. I love Christmas and all the other great holidays during winter, but I would prefer to still be looking at the green grass during those holidays. I know I am in the wrong state to complain about winter, and I would do something about that but there's one tiny problem...I won't leave my mom! Yes I am a mommy's girl. I won't even move to Salt Lake, because as far as I'm concerned it would be too far from my mom. Nope, Stansbury is plenty far for me. So needless to say I am stuck in this disgusting, cold weather that I can't stand. I think snow is pretty before it turns all brown and slushy and gross, but I could admire all that prettiness in a picture and be perfectly happy!

Raking leaves = fun for kids

Saturday morning we went to my parents house to drop off some glasses that Anth had picked up for my dad. While we were there my mom offered us breakfast, and my dad somehow convinced the kids it would be really fun to rake leaves lol He made a contest out of it, and rewarded them with money, treats and a new big glitter bouncy ball each. In the end my dad had 4 bags less of leaves to rake, and in their yard they have some many leaves that EVERY bag counts (My mom said they do at least 50 bags a year). It was a win/win situation for them all! Dom keeps asking when they can go back and rake more leaves, so they can get more prizes from Papa.

What a rip off!!!!!

Last night there was a little bit of an incident....Dom was at my sister's house playing with my nephew and apparently SOMEONE threw rocks at her back window in her car, and it was shattered. The frustrating part is that neither of them have the same story, so we are both having to pay for it. While we were there helping her clean up she called a company called Safelite about fixing it for her, and the original quote they gave her was $409!!! She put him on hold for a few to talk to us about it, and when she got back to him she said that was a lot of money and we were going to check around a few other places. So what does the guy say..."Well I can give it to you for $370" Um excuse me if it's that easy to lower the price why don't they just start off with that! They think that they can just screw people out of an extra $40 basically, and that nobody is going to question it. Unfortunately this crooked company happens to be the least expensive, so we are going to go with them but I think it's BS that companies can screw people like that! Maybe we should all start saying things cost too much, and we can get a lower price that easily.

Looks like someone is getting smarter

I heard today that the government is considering having sex ed classes available that the parents can choose whether they want their kids to learn abstinence or safe sex. It's a definitely a good compromise since everyone has their own opinions on the matter, so I really hope they follow through with it.

Pumpkin Walk

Me, Anth and my sister took the kids to the Pumpkin Walk out here this past weekend. They all had tons of fun, and loved getting dressed up. We also went with Anth's Aunt Tammy, Nikki and her 2 girls. The only part I didn't like was when someone stole Dom's candy bag :( It had his candy the booths were handing out, the stuff he won paying games and a few extra little treats we bought him. Some people are just rude!!! The kids were all nice and shared their candy with him, and Anth went and bought him a new whoopie cushion so he wouldn't be sad though. Afterwards we went to La Frontera to eat. YUMMY!!! Here's a pic of all the kids dressed up. Syd is a honeybee, Dom is the Demon of War (his eyes light up red), Gabe is Jason and we decided to dress Tasia and Havyn up together this year so they are both pirates. Tasia says she is a princess pirate. We got tons of compliments on how cute they all looked :)
