Thoughts For Thursday

This week has flown and felt like forever all in three days. Here a few thoughts amid the silence of the blog:

I am so excited Halloween is almost over. My boys are scared of everything! Last year I had to drive every which way to avoid the "scary" houses. Hopefully they'll handle scary costumes better than last year. KC has no costume. I wouldn't settle for anything less that the PBK lamb or bunny so like a stubborn kid I've got nothing for her. She'll be wearing these pjs.

I'm thinking of doing a candy trade in for a toy. We have way too much sugar already so I'm wondering if they would go for it. Of course I'd take the fall and eat the candy for them. And then I could watch Fed Up without feeling guilty. 

I had a super cute craft that N helped me come up with and we never did it. There is still fishing line in my diaper bag to make it all happen. This school/sports/arts thing is hard to juggle (and don't mention laundry) - I am in constant awe of moms that work and do all the above as well. 

I had adorable little goals when N was T's age for this time of year and we've done none of those now that T is this age. As dorky as this all is, I even had the leaves fall off the tree as we completed them (always a teacher, my first graders would have loved this).

All our sports end this weekend (and it looks like it might rain). As part of the soccer coach's gift, I made a photo book of the past season. He has coached the same kids since last April and had everyone over to his house for parties so it seemed appropriate. I will be leaving it on his doorstep if weather ruins our game, but I hope I get to see him open it!

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween!! We are meeting up with some friends to trick or treat and then have a spider hunt (throw spider rings in grass, give kids bags and flashlights, and hunt those suckers down)!
