Every morning I wake up with a head full of things to do. I scramble around trying to put them in lists of importance all while trying to keep the peace within my little brood (trying to recall everything I've learned and read about parenting at the same time.) I love being a wife and the quirks that come with having my man forever. I love to be creative and thrive on crossing off my to do list. I strive to find balance and put first things first which brings me PEACE & JOY and allows me to sleep so much easier when I do. I think that one of the secrets to being HAPPY in life is to find that balance. I'm learning how to be kinder to myself and learning patience in progress. Everyday, through the thick and thin of life I'm trying to turn my heart towards heaven and remember what's really important.Oh, and I love to eat, so much so that I love to exercise too.

Halloween Fun!

We carved pumpkins during FHE on Monday prior to Halloween while we listened to the "Monster Mash" and "Thriller". LOVE carving pumpkins. JUST KIDDING. The kids do though and that's what matters, right?! On Halloween we went to our Ward's party and had a great time bobbing for apples, catching goodies at the fishing pond, grabbing donuts, doing the cake walk and eating chili dogs. The kids got to "Trunk or Treat" and then we went on our way to see Pa Pa Nichols. He's like a dad to me and he wanted us to stop by. We got to see his tug boat, and we had a good time visiting with him and his wife. Then we were off to G&G Wibergs, we visited and looked at their newly remodeled home. (It flooded a couple of months ago) Our last stop was at Laura's. It was 10 till 10:00 and I didn't think she expected a clown staring at her when she opened the door. I got her good!! The night was fun without any incidents and not many parenting wows!


Usually I really don't enjoy Halloween. The candy, the scary, and gross decor-not my thing. But I do like dressing up so I finally did and it was so much fun. My kids loved that their mom was a clown, especially because Halloween morning I was a witch. I wasn't dressed up like one but if anyone would have heard the way I was talking to my kids they would've wondered why I wasn't riding around on a broom.
I was basically upset that they had made a mess of their bedrooms and had not been keeping up with their responsibilities. Their bedrooms were bad but when I walked into the boys' bathroom I got HOT. I can't stand it when the boys leave the seat down and then miss. I think this happens when they're half asleep, but still, YUCK. Anyway, by the time they got to school I think they were relieved to get away from my constant harping.
