Halloween Giveaway

I am going to giveaway one of my Halloween Bows.  Go to my Melissa's Creations blog to enter.

Busy Weekend

This weekend was a little crazy!  The Christmas Boutique was on Friday night.  It was fun to see what everyone had created.  I was able to buy an apron for each of my girls, a necklace for me, and a cleaning/chore organizer.  I am going to use them all as Christmas gifts.  I also was able to sell about 23 bows, a few memory games and Bingo games.  I am excited!  In two weeks I am going to try to have enough bows to sell some in my driveway during our community garage sale.  We'll see how much I can get done in the next week or two.

We also had visitors this weekend.  Jeff's mom and Kevin stayed overnight on Friday night but spent the rest of their time in Las Vegas elsewhere.  The girls were sad because they had been told Kevin would come back and say goodbye...it didn't happen.  Jeff's brother Brett was also here but we didn't ever see them.  The girls had been looking forward to seeing Katie and Amanda but were sad they never came over. 

My mom and dad came on Saturday and left on Sunday.  When my mom and dad came, we went to an Open House for a really good family friend.  It was fun to see the Mills and Sammy loved seeing Anna in her princess dress (wedding dress)!!  They also enjoyed playing with Grandma and Grandpa all night on Saturday.  Grandpa also made pancakes on Sunday morning, they are Andrea's favorites!!  The girls were really sad to see them leave but were excited that they will be back for Christmas! 

And, now I must go so I can finish getting ready for Preschool.

Christmas Boutique

The items are now up for sale on the Christmas Boutique blog.  If you are interested in purchasing anything on the blog, you can post a comment on that blog or post one here and I will get you in contact with the seller. 

Hair

We had a few new looks in our family.  Josh was playing with his blanket today and it made his hair stick to his head.  I must say that I like the crazy afro look better.  Jeff and I both think he looks funny with his hair stuck to his head!!  The second is Sammy.  She decided to give herself a haircut like Susan and Sharon on The Parent Trap.  It doesn't look too bad in this picture but if you look at the right side of the picture.  Those hairs you see sticking out around her eye/nose level... That is what a big chunk of her hair looks like on both sides.  We can hide it but it makes it a little harder to do her hair in the morning!!

A Visit from the Brooks

We had a visit from my sister and her family on Saturday.  My girls were so sad McKinley had to leave!  They all went to bed together last night so Andrea was crying all morning because McKinley was gone.  McKinley and Sammy are 5 months apart and Joshua and Denali are 6 weeks apart.  Andrea and Sammy LOVED Denali (McKinley too) and were vying for her attention.  Andrea LOVED McKinley and wanted to sit by her all the time.  It was a short but fun visit.  Hopefully we can see them again soon.

Depressing Market

We have some friends that used to live down the street from us.  They have the same house we do but they put in a few more upgrades.  I was VERY depressed today when I looked up their house on a realtor's site to find that it is under contract for $85,000.  That just sucks!!!  If all these forclosed houses are selling for so little, why won't the banks work with people who want to stay in their house. And, why can't we do a loan modification???????  Let's just say the Las Vegas Housing Market sucks for homeowners but is amazing for those wanting to buy a house right now!!
