I'm here!
WHEW!
It's nice to be able to sit down and relax for a little while! As you can tell by my pathetic attemos at blogging lately, I've been a wee bit busy. The first PTA event - the Family Fun Night is over. That's a huge weight off my shoulders and a huge load off my mind. I've been very worried about how that event would turn out and, according to several people I've spoken to, it was good. I've got another one coming up in November but it's going to be a Bingo type event. MUCH easier for me!
On Saturday, Husband and I did some yard work and made some drastic plans regarding the addition. Eldest slept over a friend's house and the three of us had a nice dinner together. I made popcorn and we we all hung out, watching television. Today, before we picked up Eldest, we headed to Home Depot to pick up a few things. We discovered that there was an antique car show in the parking lot. Some of those cars were gorgeous. We wandered around and really enjoyed looking at these magnificent classic cars. We had to leave to pick up Eldest. We stopped back at the house, ate a quick lunch and then went BACK to Home Depot to show Eldest the cars. She enjoyed them and decided that she wanted to own a monster truck. LOL.
I am woefully behind on my emails and phone calls so please forgive me for not responding back. Today, I was busy making Halloween goody bags (23 for each girl) and baking mini cupcakes. I can't imagine how many Weight Watchers points each one could be but they are awfully cute, and quite tasty too. Since I am room mom - err- Classroom Coordinator - I'm going in for Youngest's class party tomorrow around 1130am. I've got 3 other moms coming in and, between the 4 of us, I think we can set up and run a little party for 23 kindergartners. I've got a little craft, a few games for them to play and there will be plenty of snacks. Oooooh boy, will there be snacks! In kindergarten, there are parties almost every month. Ahh, good times. They are also having a school parade and I can't wait to see that. Unfortunately, Eldest's school is also having a parade and I won't be able to see it ::sigh:: She was a little bummed about it but she got over it rather quickly when I promised her goody bags for her class.
Halloween isn't my favorite holiday. It's so difficult for Olivia. With her food allergies (all dairy, nuts, peanuts, eggs and fish), it makes finding safe candy very difficult. She can eat Starbursts, Twizzlers, Dots, Smarties and Pez. Eldest, on the other hand, doesn't like anything with nuts. Besides that, she can eat any candy she collects. I've already made a deal with Youngest- she will trade in her candy and I will buy her a toy, up to $20. Yeah, guilt goes a long way but it made her happy. I hate for her to be left out so I over compensate, but just a little bit.
Ok - now I am pooped and I am off to bed. Have a great (and safe) Halloween my lovies!

I don't blame you...sounds like a good plan to me.
Happy Halloween.
