allo een

so I got a random card from Joette on Halloween. It was perfect.



opens up to:



many of the reasons why I miss Joette...



so Halloween....hmmmm.



Some things I have learned about Halloween...

I think I have decided on my most favorite candy bars. It takes me a while to make decisions...but I think these are final decisions in my life:




and of course



I try to limit sugar from my diet...ahem...but um...not this last week...

now my entire body is achy- swollen fingers, my joints are stiff...water retention- depressed...weight gain...I feel like I am 80 when I get out of bed...oh the joys of MS.

So Mounds, Almond joy, Nut roll, and mint chocolate wonders...you are proof that all that appears lovely isn't so...and self discipline is more of an act of compassion than control.

So anyways...The girls were fairies for halloween. Although no one could really understand that..."Oh look two precious Angels!" or "Oh the cutest little princesses ever!"

Kenzie's rude reply "NO, WE ARE NOT ANGELS, I'M A FAIRY!"





My dear aunt Linda offered to sew their costumes this year. At first I kind of wanted to attempt sewing my girls costumes because that is what a super mommy does...but once I agreed to have my aunt make costumes for them, it really felt nice. I love family...I love family who have time for each other.

This picture makes me laugh...because it was FREEZING at the trunk and treat...and where Kenzie finally said, "I don't need candy. I just need a coat" ...and is Julia flipping some gangster peace sign?



so there was our adventurous halloween...so glad it is OVER. Fun fun...but you know...weird.

I loved Trick or Treating though because Julia would scream and yell at all the old people who came to the door to give her candy...she was afraid of them...oh it was sort of entertaining- probably not for the old people.

our costume...US. Chay and April...oh with a wig. We had fun with this wig...

Love you Chay.
