A new Month

I just love a new month! I love tearing off the old calendar page and starting with a fresh and blank page. None of the boxes are filled yet and it actually looks like I am going to have some free time in the upcoming days. 

But the inevitable happen and the days slowly fill up, one appointment, one dance class, another meeting, one more thing put on the to do list. But what would I do without my calendar. 

I would definitely forget a lot more than I do now. 

My favorite Calendar is called 

Mom's Ultimate Family Fridge 2011 Deluxe Wall Calendar

I get it every year from Costco and I love it. It has sticker which my kids like to use (A lot)

And the day squares are big enough for more than one event or meeting.

Plus there is lots of space to doodle when I am on the phone.

I like adding birthdays and special occasions. 

My life is run by my calendar. I check it every morning to see what I have to do that day. And if a day is empty I fill it with things like "clean the bathrooms" or "do Laundry"

The things I really dislike to do and then the really do get done (most of the time).

Halloween was even marked on my calendar with the updated day!

I am not a big fan of Halloween!! But my kids love it and I like to think of costume ideas. 

The Candy is really the bane of Halloween!! I don't need the temptation!

But again, I liked to get them (the kids) dressed up.

As posted earlier I have pics to share.

Caitlyn the Ballerina

Madison a kitty cat (okay she is obsessed with cats)

Logan a Spider

Dallin is an eyeball (I loved this costume, I thought is was so cool)

I was truly surprise by this years Halloween candy haul. By the time all four kids dumped there candy out (this is after gorging themselves for the 10 minute drive home) there was a whopping 3 gallons of candy to put away. This didn't include all the bags of chips which I put away seperately so the don't get crushed. 
I really hope the dentist is going to be buying candy this year so my kids and get some cash for toys instead of me taking them to get more cavaties filled. 
(I would way rather take the dentists money than give him mine.) 


While out we say some friends of ours who dressed up their Great Dane for the day too! I just loved his get up and had to snap a shot of him. The kids loved him too!

The horns really made the outfit for sure!!

(Thanks Jordan and Rebecca)

Now off to bed, resist temptation (darn candy) and start thinking about Christmas. (less than 60 days, I checked my calendar.)
