Aaron helping Charlie do a 'slam dunk' at Aleah's soccer game.

Once Cam saw Charlie doing it, of course he wanted a turn.

Ali is the one in blue sleeves at the far left. This was her last game of the Fall - she will miss soccer, but we are excited to have our Saturdays back.

Well, our lives have been very scrambled the last few months. Me working every night has been hard on everyone. Thank goodness I only have a week left and then I will only help out 'when needed' at the gym. Aaron's life has been chaos as well. He lost his job over a month ago, but started a new/old one yesterday. He is back at Aculis and very excited to be there. As soon as they found out he was looking for work, they called and wanted him back; but it took a while for all the details to go through. Aaron was so tired of being Mr. Mom and was ready to be at an office again - and just when he was getting good at dishes and laundry too :(. At least his football is done for the season and school will be done in 4 weeks - wow, we might actually have a normal schedule again.

Halloween

Pic 1: Gothic Girl - I tried to get Ali to smile and she explained that "Gothic Girls don't smile; they have attitude." - I know 9 year-old girls that have attitude also.

Pic 2: Werewolf Boy - Cam loved the fake teeth and painting his toenails/fingernails black the best - I thought he was more cute than scary, but he didn't appreciate me telling him that.

Pic 3: Monkey Man - Char has wanted to wear his costume for weeks, so when I told him the night before Halloween that as soon as he woke up tomorrow, he could wear it; we had no problem putting him to bed.

Pic 4: Witchy Women - my kid's said, "But you're a witch every year mom!" Well, that is mostly true; I change it up every once in a while, but it is the costume I love most; and, at least I'm not lame and don't dress up at all...Aaron.

Pic 5: Trick-o-treat - Aleah was great about helping Charlie get to the door; I have hardly any pics of Cam trick-o-treating because he was usually 2 doors ahead of us. I ended up taking his candy bucket so that he would have to run back to me after each house to deposit his loot.
