november

Well, its been awhile since I been here so lets play catch up. Of course the kids went trick or treating and we had a party afterwards. Everyone had lots of fun. I have finished all my Christmas shopping back awhile ago and its all wrapped. We have wandered into November now and I have half my cards (100) addressed and ready to be mailed and only have 100 more to go which I plan on doing this weekend. I also went and bought all the ingredients for my cookies and will also start them this weekend. Last weekend 11-8-2008 we march in the veterans day parade with the girls american heritage girl troop. It rained heavy on us but we had fun anyways. Carissa passed out Thank you cards along the way to the veterans and she met a ww2 veteran. Marissa marched along with Lisa and waved her flag. Of course at the end was Daddy waiting for us and mikey and the Larissa and Tarissa. then we watched the rest of the parade.
Mikey and Lisa have started their confirmation classes and should take their confirmation around Febuary.
The girls are selling Christmas trees and it looks like I am going to have to buy both trees as I cant seem to find anyone who either uses a real tree or doesnt go to a tree farm. oh well we will end up with 3 trees this year I guess. As we always make a day of going to the tree farm and cutting our own down.
We have been getting the start of our rainy season. Which always make for creative days . we have been getting on our rain gear and going for walks in it when it isnt raining to hard. Of course their is the girls favorite pass time Splashing in puddles. Our yard was really squishy today and I slid in it and that made the kids day laughing I just look at it like taking a mudd bath.
We also will be in the house for a bit with Tarissa Jean as she has come down with the chicken pox. oh boy I have never had them but have gone thru the 4 older ones having them. Doesn't seem to be bothering her too much she seems to be full of energy but itchy so lots of calomine lotion and we will get thru this ,plus she doesn't have many only a couple dozen. Doc said to give her oatmeal bath as needed.
Well, better sign off now still need to cook dh supper so its fresh and hot after work.
