Trunk or Treat!

I took the girls to Trunk or Treat tonight. They saw a lot of their friends there, and they let me get one decent picture of them with the pumpkins. If only life were as simple as dressing up in your favorite costume, and trick or treating!

Don't you want to be the best??

I rarely let my kids watch cable tv, because it drives me crazy for them to "want" everything they see on TV. Today I made an exception for a few hours, and let them veg in front of Nick Jr for a few hours. Hayley comes out of my room after an hour and the conversation went like this:

Hayley: "Mommy, can we have McDonalds today for lunch?"

Me: "No honey, not today."

Hayley: "Mommy, I will tell you that you are the best mommy ever!"

Me: "You still aren't getting Mcdonald's for lunch."

Hayley: "But Mommy, don't you want to be the best?"

Me: "Of course honey, but you still aren't getting Mcdonalds."

And she stamps her feet as she walks away. :o)

Working backwards...

So I've been wanting to jump on the blog bandwagon for quite some time, but I can never quite seem to find a place to "start". I feel like there is so much background to who I am, how I got where I am, and where I think I'm going in the future, that I can't possibly spell it out all in one post. So I will spare you that one. I will write for today, and fill in gaps of history as I can. I will just work backwards. :o)
