Halloween Week!

We have been celebrating Halloween all week. The downtown festival was on Tuesday, we went to Kendra's Daycare party on Wednesday, and Trick or Treating on Thursday. I know Thursday was not Halloween, but in Stillwater, football is a priority! Whether it be Stillwater High School or OSU. Anyway, they dressed up for the fourth day in row this morning, and I decided to dress up too. Last Saturday when the girls an I were shopping for groceries at Wal-mart I ran across these amazing tights! I got a lot of comments on them today. Some people just smile, and others pretend not to stare. It is really funny. My students thought they were great...everyone else that did not know me did not know how to take them.

Homecoming- Branded for Life

Well the biggest Homecoming celebration in the nation occurred almost two weeks ago. The house decorations were beautiful! The first two pictures are of my favorite one. It did not win, but it had a construction theme. Actually one of my students designed it. The pomping on the pictures and magazine cover were AMAZING!

The girls had more fun at the kids toys, than they did looking at the house decs. Elle really likes the inflatable toys. Emma not so much. I ended up having to go up the slide with her and hold her as we slid down. Why do I always get roped into the slides?

Catching Up...Cowgirl style!

Again I have been neglecting the blog since I am so busy, but I figure that is better than neglecting my children, my schoolwork, or my job. Scott cannot claim neglect since he has been gone far more days this month with Ag stuff than he has been home. Over the next few days (I hope) I plan on posting pictures from the last couple of weeks.

The girls had "Cowboy and Cowgirl" day at school on the 15th. They had a lot of input (more than I appreciated) on what a cowgirl should wear. This is what we came up with... I wanted them to wear dresses with boots, and I was informed that Cowgirls wear JEANS! (City Girl!)

Happy Halloween

I saw this on a blog, and had to give it a try!

Baking Cookies!

Last week, while Scott was at the Tulsa Fair, the girls and I worked on a project or two at the house. When I am gone, the girls are content watching TV with Scott, but when Scott is gone, they want to be entertained! We made Halloween Sugar Cookies. We had bats, ghosts, pumpkins and cats! I figured out a way to make the project last two nights! We made the cookies on Wednesday, and then iced just the ghosts. I had purchased white icing, but forgot that I did not have any food coloring, and Halloween bats, cats, and pumpkins are not white! We finished up the rest of the decorating on Thursday. The cookies were some of the best that I have ever made...if I do say so myself.
