A Crazy Red Head: October 2012

Halloween Dinner

Tuesday, October 30, 2012

I Love Halloween and have a Husband who Poo-poo's it (except for the candy). He skipped FHE last night because he didn't want to dress up. I've wanted to make Halloween dinners like my sisters but have never followed through with it because no one will eat it. After making another meal that everyone poo-poo'd I decided to make something that I love. I don't know why but shepherds pie or bishops casserole is one of my favorite fall dinners. I added cloves for the eyes but you could taste them (or maybe just smell them) even in the ghosts that we didn't add them to. What should I have used for eyes?

Yes, that is Michael Jackson and a Vampire

Dan went riding today with some buddies and I took the kids to a Trunk-or-Treat at Young Chevrolet in Layton. They had a huge line up for six pieces of candy out of the trun of six shiny new cars. It was a slow process because the line was actually for pumpkin bowling. My kids learned pretty quickly that there really wasn't a line for the bounce slide and they did it over and over and over!!! They were quite flippy:

Celebrating Josh's Birthday

Friday, October 26, 2012

We met at the Station in Farmington.

Frankenweenie was such a blast, these kids loved these kids!

The best part was when Josh laughed so hard and long
after the sea monkies ate the popcorn!

Have a Happy Birthday Uncle Josh!

This morning I woke up to the excitement of my childrens squeals of delight!

It snowed!!! They begged me to let them stay home from school so that they

could build a snowman and snow fort... But I had plans and the State says

they must go ~ I voted today with my sweet friend Denise and when we got home:

It's sad but Chloe and Seth went to school knowing that

by the time they got home it would be melted.

Keyboard Chatter

I came into school to quickly take pictures of Chloe's class for scrapbooking. It blows my mind that kindergartners are using computers. In third grade they are learning proper hand placement and the correct way to sit while typing!

Best Play Date Ever

Wednesday, October 24, 2012

Sometimes I qualify for the meanest Mom ever. Today I finally put our smoking cauldren together and plugged it in. The kids can't leave it alone... So I figured it was close enough to fill it up with water and make my little witches potions come to life!

The second reason it went up today was because Seth was having two of the Cutest and Sweetest girls coming over (twin sisters from his school class) to play!!!

His Dad likes to tease him about all the girls he likes but he is just such a sweet boy that they flock to him. He is always trying to be a gentleman around me and I think he tries with these little ladies. Their mom tells me that he always watches out for them and compliments them on their cuteness!

I made some delicious Chicken Enchilada Soup in my crock pot, kind of like Chili's.

The black and orange dyed chips make it halloweenie!

School Pictures

I have never been more dissapointed with Bell Photography.

Why this electric blue?

Mom's Sale

Saturday, October 20, 2012

We worked our tales off at Mom's house sorting and choosing her cast offs. It was almost better than Christmas! She had set side a set of her dishes for each of us, I get the Blue Willow set. She had selected items for us trying to be fair. My mother tries her damnedest to make it equal between eight children. I think she succeeded! Everything else she felt she wouldn't have room for she sold and then delivered to Deseret Industries.

I came home with Wendy in the middle of the night, she was my ride and Russ needed the tools in the back of their truck. When I got home, Seth had just got this brand new shiner:

My niece Maggie just got one too and Seth can't wait to see whose turns out better!

I stopped by RC Willey to pick up a free pillow and noticed these great halloween busts. I will have to check back on them when they go on sale a little more. I did get my pillow, a knife set, and a babycakes pie pop maker all for FREE!
