THE BEGINNING


Well, here I am joining the world of bloggers. It always starts out by reading someone else's blog and deciding to write your own. I just have so much on my mind, and I have given up writing it on paper because my children think that it is also a paper for them to color and scribble on. I have taught Asher and Hallie about sharing, now they think I have to share EVERYTHING with them as well. As a mother, it feels like nothing truly belongs to just me. It's fine, but this blog is nice because it is all mine! No scribbles, no wrinkled or torn pages and no worries of finding this in the most bizarre places, ie the dogs bed, the garbage can, in a random dresser drawer, toy box, the fridge, you get the point!


Halloween is this next week and Asher has decided to be a pirate. For the next few months I know I will hear him chasing Hallie around the house yelling "ARRRGH MATEY". Hallie will be a skeleton. Last year she was a witch and for the past year when people ask her name or tells her she's cute, she replies by saying her name is Witch, and she's NOT cute, but a mean, mean scary witch. I'm curious to see what she will have to say about being a skeleton. We even bought costumes for our two toy poodles. How rediculous is that? I have turned into what I made fun of. I even have a bag to carry my little Meg in! Our dog Bo will also be dressed as a pirate and Meg has the cutest Tinkerbell costume. Asher has been curious as to what I am going to dress up as. In his mind, even the dogs have costumes, so I must as well. I keep telling him I am dressing up as a mom, but that doesn't seem to satisfy him. I'll come up with something. If I dress up or not, I know he won't mind when he sees all the candy being passed out! Happy Hauntings!
