Neighborhood Halloween Party 2010

We love Halloween! And, this year was the best yet. Both my girls were super excited about parties and trick or treating. They loved their costume and couldn't wait to put them on.

The weekend before Halloween, we had our annual neighborhood Halloween party. Its amazing to see how many kids are in our neighborhood now ! We have so many and most are between the ages of 1 and 6, which makes us very happy. Although its not as often as we would like, we love being able to get the kids together to play.

Flashback to the 80s and 90s

On a recent trip to my parents house, I found all my old beauty pageant dresses and majorette uniforms(yes, I was. . .please refrain from any comments-ha!) I actually won my first pageant in the burgandy dress. Here are my girls playing dress up in a couple of the outfits.
I was in kindergarten when I wore this dress.. . 1981 or 1982. . .

What do you think of me?

A little bit of it all!

Don't you love my smile??

I LOVE family projects!

Okay, I am a bit of a weirdo, but I love family projects. Simply stated. . .I am a project person. I love to paint, decorate, create etc. So if you send home an assignment sheet for a family project, I am all over it. Here is a picture of Kylie's recent family project. Its a picture of her family tree.

Sadly, after we the project was sent home, I decided to laminate it for safe keeping in the years to come. But, there was a mishap in the laminating machine at school. Someone didn't clip the film after finishing, so that means it got all jammed up with my priceless project inside! You could hear my shrieks of anger from two doors down. I was very upset. Fortunately, the secretary at my school helped me salvage it. It is a bit wrinkled now, but still intact. Here is a picture of it before the "mishap"!

I was very PROUD of our project!
