Time Flies...

Okay, so I am not a good blogger...that's already an understood fact if you look at our blog. Life has been so incredibly, absolutely and insanely busy lately! I'm glad to catch a minute to do an update.
In the past few weeks I've had the primary program, volunteering at the school, election day working, helping my friend by babysitting her little girl everyday, finishing up my canning, making hair bows, birthday parties, Halloween parties, trick or treating, getting fabulous deals (I love pinching your pennies.com!) and a million other things! I'm tired...or as my sister and I say...I'm so schleepy.
Life has been very full, but oh so fun lately. Here's some pics to highlight what we've been up to:

Grandma Ruth did a super fun Halloween party for all the grandkids...a trip to the corn maze, sliding down a huge haybale slide at Punkinaze, Pumpkin decorating, candy and a million other things...when she plans a party, she PLANS a party and it's always jam packed with fun!

Lizzie made a very "HOT" pumpkin at Grandma's!

Calli Jane (or Calamity Jane as we so lovingly call our hurricane) loved the pumpkin patch and thought it was great fun. She is still the human cyclone and I spend much time undoing her messes, getting her out of the tub fully clothed, finding shoes that she hides all over the house and other such projects that she undertakes!

Spencer and the "Great Pumpkin"

Now for the obligatory Halloween costume pics...seriously, I know that every blog right now is featuring pics of their kids in their costumes, so I thought I'd better join the crowd. Feel free to skip over the next pics because, really...does anyone but me, my husband and the grandparents really care? I think not.

Spencer as Darth Vader...the voice changer and helmet scared all the kids in the neighborhood...what fun!

Lizzie - as Cinderella. I really wanted to go with a Star Wars theme for my kids, but she refused to be Princess Leia...she wanted to be a "real princess".

Calli, a.ka. the cutest little Heffalump you've ever seen.


Grandpa a.ka. The most hideous tooth fairy you've ever seen...isn't he hilarious!?

I love my kiddos...they are so much fun. I tried to get them to pose for some pics for a project I'm doing and the big kids did awesome...Calli on the hand...she's just Calli, the non-conformist!

Your babies are so beautiful! I can't believe you have 3! We have got to do lunch so we can catch up! It was soooo great seeing you! Wish we could of had more time to chat but the couponing is awesome. It is sort of an addiction now which is sad, but it has saved us tons! What is your email?

I figured you have been busy since I have been trying to get a hold of you for a few days but have had no luck! I just don't want you to miss out on any deals. I have to laugh at Calli just because I have one of those too except mine is a boy and he's 4. He pretty much makes me want to rip my own hair out but I love him anyways!

Can we come visit you in a couple of weeks???? We are driving up North for Thanksgiving and were wondering if we can say hi to you--overnight. :)

loved the tooth fairly. I remembered you saying you had a hard time leaving a comment. You still have not changed the address. web.me.com/d.christensen. I have had a talk with so many friend bloggers that said they were having a hard time so I have been going through and most of them still have not changed it. If you change it and still have probs, sheesh.. I do not know.
