Before & After

I took the kids into the eye dr. a couple of weeks ago, and now Josh has to have reading glasses too.

When Joshua's friend saw him with his glasses, he told him that it was sooooo cool. He wished he had glasses, because then he could be a mad scientist.:)

Carter kept saying he wanted glasses too, so

Hailey gave him an old pair and he cleaned them all up.

He took them to school today for "show & tell"

and wanted his picture taken also.

Disney on Ice

We enjoyed an outing with Grandma and Grandpa to see Disney on Ice. This time we actually stayed through the whole thing. I remember when the kids were younger, we left at intermission. Disney celebrated it's 100 years of Disney on Ice, and it was great!

Fun for all!

This was Carters first time,

and he was AMAZED!!

Grandpa thought there should've been more caracters

from the olden days. He remembers when snow white first

came out in the 30's.

HALLOWEEN!

I remember when I was little Halloween was a holiday that only lasted for one day. We now celebrate Halloween by doing the school carnival (which we were there from 3-9! I helped with the musical chair booth and then for 2 hours made balloon animals! If you ever need a balloon sword, I am an expert at that now), class parties (times that by 3), work parties, and a family party. How many times do I have to dress my kids up?

Grandma Stringham has a Halloween party every year so the kids can see what their cousins dress up like and we eat until were stuffed.

The kids love to have root beer over dried ice. They are mesmorized by the smoke!!

Are my kids really big enough to go trick-or-treating with their friends? Hailey thought so, but I tagged along with them..... for 3 HOURS! Yes, let me repeat that.....3 HOURS!!

Josh and his buddies went with another mom. It just seemed very wierd not to have all 3 of my kids with me. They are growing up waaaaay to fast!

Carter actually went with me for 2 out of the 3 hours! I couldn't believe he went that long. He did have to stop and take a drink.

YES.....AGAIN!

Well, you may not believe it, but here's how it happened. Last Wednesday Hailey was outside on her heelys racing with a friend and KABOOM!! She went down HARD!! It was the night I was getting everything ready to carve pumpkins and she ended up at IHC.

Hailey was a witch for Halloween and Mike told her to tell people that she fell off her broom!! :)
(Leave it to Mike)

I took her today to get the cast on and when the Dr. took off her temporary cast from IHC, he looked at me and said this might cause some tears, it's moved. Hailey did not like the sound of that and was a little freaked out! The Dr. had to reset it and YES it caused some BIG tears! Since it had moved he casted it clear past her elbow. It's going to be a LONG 4 weeks. How many times can a girl break something? This is Hailey's 3rd broken bone. When she was 5 1/2 she fell off the tramp and broke her elbow and actually had to have surgery and pins placed. But, just 5 short months ago she fell off her motor scooter and broke her right wrist. This time she broke both her bones on her left wrist.

But I have to say she is a trooper!! We love ya Hailey Bug, but I think you need to drink more milk! :)
