Can I sleep until November 5th?
Friday morning Jared has a brunch at his school, Friday afternoon we're going to the mall with our friends to trick or treat, then going to our neighborhood to do the same. Then at 7 p.m. our friend is having a Halloween party and we're trick or treating around her neighborhood.
Saturday morning, bright and early, Jared has his last recreational soccer game. It'll end around 11:15 a.m. and then at noon we have our dear friend's son's birthday party. At 1 p.m. Jared has his first soccer practice for his travel league. At 5 p.m., we have a reception to go to (the wedding was private) but we have to drop off the kids at my friend's house and pick up my mom.
Sunday, I'm crawling under a rock after I fold all the laundry, go grocery shopping and I think Jeremy and I are going to our friend's comedy show.
Monday evening I'll be at the school accepting the donations for Tuesday's Election Day Bake Sale for the 6th Grade Graduation Committee that I'm co-chairing . We'll also be organizing all the set up and decorating.
Tuesday, bright and early again, I'll be at the bake sale, selling my little heart out. During the bake sale, I'll run up to Jared's classroom and do the parent-teacher conference. I have to run out and pick up the pizzas that were donated by wonderful local establishments late morning.
I'll probably be at the school from 7 a.m.-9 p.m.!
For Friday, I need about 40 cupcakes and for Tuesday I need about 80. All that I make. I think I'm supposed to make something else. Plus I'm the room parent for a classroom other than Tyler's and I need to organize the volunteers and donations for them.
I can not wait for next Wednesday to come!

New pics!
I may not be a photographer but I have great subjects! I had fun doing this with them tonight. Hopefully they'll help me build my skills!

Simply Beautiful
Tyler is so beautiful. I know, a bragful mother but really she is, inside and out. She normally hides from the camera (can't imagine who she gets that from!) but yesterday she cooperated plus I had my super zoom lens with me. HEHE She did ask me to retouch the annoying scabbed bug bite off the center of her forehead, so I complied hoping it brings future, non-confrontational photo ops.

Learning with a 1st Grader
One of Jared's spelling word learning choices is to use shaving cream and write the spelling words on the bathtub wall. Well, Jeremy's shaving cream is way to expensive for that! So he used washable markers instead! At first Jared didn't know if we were really supposed to write on the wall or not but once he was assured that he wouldn't get in trouble, he was down with it! We did a mock spelling test and he got all the words right! Since his teachers can't really verify that he did this like the others, we're going to e-mail them the pictures too.

Tyler bowls!
Grandma M., Grandpa H. and all her late great grandparents are so proud, I know it. They surely have no hope in my bowling skills!
And she's wearing a WOMEN'S 6.5 bowling shoe! My poor little girl and her boat feet.

3rd Anniversary
Jeremy and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. We have this fun but cheesy thing we do by actually picking presents from that traditional list. The third is leather. I got him a wallet and money clip from Coach. He really seemed to like them. I’ve wanted to get these for him prior but I knew the third was leather and they’d be quite special and just the right gift. He got me a wristlet from Coach and I love it. It’s the perfect gift that I really wasn’t expecting. He gave me this great card that made us both cry. He is a wonderful husband and father. There are definite fights and downs but they are far fewer than all of our ups.
Our anniversary also brings back tons of memories of my grandparents, whom I adored. October 3rd was also their wedding anniversary and it would have been their 60th. They were amazing people, simply amazing. They weren’t the types that showed outward affection. I think I saw my grandfather kiss my grandmother’s cheek once. However, their love and marriage effected me very much. My parents divorced so I looked to my grandparents for the foundations of a good marriage. So far, they have done me well. I miss them dearly but I’m thankful to share a day with them that is hopefully forever.
