oh yeah

and there was halloween... That was the beginning to our no good, horrible week. But my mom did take a few pictures of the girls in costume trick-or-treating at the businesses in Williamston. Reagan was Uniqua (a backyardigan) and Kennedy was a giraffe (or a "draff" as Kennedy says).





It was freezing, but the kids had lots of fun. We went to lunch with Grandma and Grandpa, trick-or-treated with Austin, spent the afternoon with Susie and Jack, then trick-or-treated with Grandpa and Sunshine. It was a great day, even though it started with Kennedy falling down our stairs. Yes, all the way down. I'm still having nightmares.
In case you were wondering, here is everything that we enjoyed during the week of my birthday...
  • Someone stole my phone.
  • Kennedy fell down the stairs.
  • I sliced my finger open making dinner.
  • Rick's work computer got major viruses on it.
  • Rick's car broke down.
  • Tried putting a storm door on the house, but couldn't get a drill to fit the drill bits we spent $30+ on.
  • Finally borrowed a drill and bits from our neighbor and then pinched my finger and got a nasty blood blister.
  • Fixed Rick's car and it broke down again.
  • Spent saturday afternoon sitting on the lawn at Burger King with the girls waiting for Rick's car to charge enough to get it home.
  • Brand new alternator we bought was faulty.

But at least we had a few bright spots.

  • Bob fixed the car for us for free, twice.
  • Our neighbor let us borrow his tools.
  • Kennedy wasn't injured after her fall.
  • I had a nice birthday dinner with family, and had three birthday meals (stillwater, carrino's and red robin - yum!)
  • It was nice weather while we sat outside Burger King.
  • We went to the Temple yesterday with some great friends.

Whew. Now I'm ready for an easy week, hopefully.

We sure enjoyed "trick or treating with Reagan & Kennedy!" They are so much fun! I am glad that you have been greatly blessed in spite of all the many challenges.
