Happy Halloween!

I know this is a very late posting from me, but I have been busy. This morning was my usual day to help in G's classroom, so it being the anniversary, Paul came with me and helped out as well. He took today and tomorrow off from his grueling schedule so he could have some fun. (I am poking fun at Paul right now because he hardly ever works) After help time we went home for some anniversary fun and than out to lunch at a very nice place on the water. We did stop at Wal-Mart on the way home to get Paul a costume for the Halloween Party at school. G could not understand why a 40 year old man would not want to dress up for Halloween, so Paul bought a costume so he could suprise G at school. He is wearing a Sombraro and a Poncho with a painted on mustache. Very funny, and of course I will post pictures. We really didn't plan much for our anniversary. We don't have a babysitter yet so we are out of luck in going out tonight. I guess we could just throw what we are saving on not going out into the 20th anniversary fund, because we are going to England and Ireland for two weeks when we hit 20 years.....of course, KID FREE! I have had an exciting week. I met with my academic advisor and registered for my classes. I start January 5th. I will take three classes during the winter term, two in summer, three in fall, and two next winter and I will be finished with a BA in Language Arts. I start the Master's portion in the spring after I get my BA. I am thrilled this is all working out according to plan. Paul is now finished with his classes and is a certified home inspector. He is going to hang his shingle out soon and see what kind of business he can get started here. I do think we will end up in the Pacific Northwest. I don't have much time for anything else because we have to get to the school, but look back later and I will try and get some Halloween pictures up.....I know you all want to see Paul's costume!

Melissa and Amy-I am totally jealous that you two get to visit!
Tara- I don't know why you could not leave a message, I haven't blocked you!
Laurie-I hope H is doing fine.
Michelle-I love the comment about not telling the kids until right before you have to leave. I agree candy is a powerful motivator.

We are having ? for dinner tonight, Papa Murphy's tomorrow (love the pumpkin shaped pizzas) and lean cousine for me over the weekend while the kids eat whatever I can make for them and not feel tempted by.

I have not added any new songs onto the IPOD for a while, as I left it in the car turned on and now the battery is dead and I never remember to take it out of the car to recharge, but when I do I am adding the new Sugarland song, the new Taylor Swift song and I think some vintage Bon Jovi!
