Boo Humbug

"A year from now you will wish you would have started today. "

October has come and gone.
We celebrated Leah's 7th birthday.
Leah really wanted a camera this year - so since we decided not to
do a Halloween/Birthday party - we got her a nice one.
It is hot pink of course.
And she uses it all the time!!!
Someday when she is a famous photographer she can tell about her 7th birthday and getting her first nice camera :o)

We didn't do too much for Halloween this year.
This was a Boo Humbug Halloween.
Usually we go all out decorating and have a costume / birthday party.
This year - we just weren't in the spirit of it all.
A difficult time around here.
I've had my issues - including some health ones.
Cameron has his possible fever syndrome.
And most recently, my fav cousin passed away suddenly.

We did make a bunch of chili and I did take our children trick or treating.
Our girls put together their fairy costumes from last year.
Our 2 oldest boys didn't dress up.
Brandon stayed home to pass out treats and Ethan came with me to help watch our youngest 6.
Noah put on an old grim reaper costume.
Jacob wore the Frankenstein costume I made Ethan when he was little.
Cameron wore the Werewolf costume I made Noah when he was little.
(Jacob and Cameron also wore Batman and Robin - which were Brandon and Ethan's old costumes. Jake and Cam wore them for a little parent-tot Halloween party I took our youngest 6 too.)

So now we are into November.
I will celebrate another year.
We will be Thankful for all we have.
And we will celebrate Noah.

The leaves have changed and the world looks beautiful.
I am ready for some beautiful changes myself  :o)
