Costume Party - November 2010

At last I'm finally getting around to posting pictures of our costume party we had. This was a last minute party and a lot of those we invited couldn't come, but...we had fun with the ones that could. We had a lot of fun together... eating, playing, sharing candy, etc. It was fun to see all the kids come through the door in their costumes! We had--a couple adorable ghosts, a knight, a hot dog, a hippie, a princess, a phantom, a pirate and a football player. The old scary lady with the yellow and pink flamingo Mrs. Roper dress was...ME! : ) I asked my kids if they wanted to just have time to play or if they actually wanted to play games??? Since they just wanted to play with their friends, it didn't break my heart not having to come up with games : ) I think we will start a yearly tradition with this event, it was a lot of fun! The kids played while us Moms just kicked back and relaxed. With this taking place after Halloween, I was able to get plates and cups for .37cents, YEA! The lovely wig and glasses that I purchased cost me a whole $3.25, so I must say that was quite a bargain, lol! Think we could have fun with this every year if we could get stuff so cheap : ) Thanks for coming kids, hope you had a fun time!

FBHC Young Adult Christmas Party

Last night was our young adult Christmas party for church. You may say, "why sooo early"??? Well ya see, around here it gets absolutely crazy at Christmas with family time, church/school plays, shopping, etc. etc that we say we are gonna have a party for our class and then never do, so...our friend Rhonda volunteered to make this happen and she DID!!! Thanks so much to Rhonda and her helpers, we had a GREAT time! It is always fun getting with God's people and knowing you will have a great time and know that you will actually remember the great time you had, when morning rolls around--if ya know what I mean! The food was delish and the games and fellowship was just what we all needed! Here's a look at a few of the crazy things we did!

Charade's using Christmas songs or Christmas words! This was Steve Waggoners attempt at making the letter A, he was a riot to watch!

October 2010

Well October was a month full of fun and activities! We started the month headed to Old Fashion Days at Union Bible College (UBC), but since I forgot my camera, no pictures : ( This is an event that our family looks forward to each year, we LOVE going!!! Keegan has wanted a bunny all summer long and when we got there and they were selling rabbits, yep you guessed it, he bought one! We brought it home Saturday night and on Sunday afternoon he thought he would let it out for some fresh, green grass and...our dog Hailey got ahold of her, ugh! Needless to say, that didn't make Keeg too happy, but we were able to call the people that we bought it from and they gave him another one--thanks Wheeler family, you made his day!!! --Next we went onto carving pumpkins, something we haven't done in years. Since we had a few pumpkins in the garden, the kids wanted to carve them, so we did. They had fun decorating some of them with markers and other stickers too. --On the week of the 7th, my hubby surprised me by saying "I want to buy you a ticket to the Lady Antebellum concert"! I right away called my sister Shirley and she said YES, I want to go too, so...off we headed to Purdue to see Lady A in concert! I couldn't believe the tickets were only $20, but that was a fun and great investment! They did a great job and Shirl and I had a lot of fun!! Thanks honey for the nice surprise, I appreciate those kind of "extras" that you do for me! --In the middle of the month we had Revival at our church with Bro. Jack Smith, he did a great job! We were only able to get into a few of the services as we had already had plans to go to MI that week. We enjoyed ourselves in MI, it is always fun to go "home"! While I was there, I took some family pictures for a niece of mine and some engagement pictures for another niece of mine. I'll have to post some of them in another post. --Kallee had a friend over to help bake/decorate cookies towards the end of the month and they turned out so yummy! I'm surprised the kids didn't get sick they ate so many of them, but...what fun we had! --Last but not least, I took the youngest two trick-or-treating on Saturday night at a local church that has trunk-or-treat every year. I knew with Halloween being on a Sunday this year we wouldn't get to go like we normally do, so I thought I would at least take the time to make sure the kids got to go to this. We even went to a few friends houses too! That pretty much sums it up for the month of October, hope you had a great one too!
