Good morning all! I avoided Halloween all together because I was working. DBF passed out candy & we have some left over...so he took that to work today!
Well I must go exercise...I gotta shrink this behind!!

I have a bunch of candy, and nibbled on some last night.

My goal for today is to go through the candy with the boys and keep only a few pieces (hopefully things that I don't like) and toss the rest. My 6 year old is used to this routine... :) It'll be interesting to see what my 3 year old does.

Today is a fresh, new day. :) I won't let myself be tempted by the candy. I have a lot of running around to do this afternoon, so the candy at home won't even be an issue. :)

Alrighty, I need to get my monsters in the tub. I was lazy last night and let them go to bed with their hair colored because I just didn't want to deal with it...

Hi Chicks:)

We Had 3 kids, and I'm left with a 24 pack bag of dorritoes. Just going to put them away and use them to bread(crumbs) Mexican Casseroles. Didn't buy any candy.

Nothing new, I finally feeling better and you know house work never stops whether your sick or not. So I'm off to get that done. Will post later

Hugs :) BB

Schatzi, it's so good to have you back! :lol3: You totally cracked me up, because I hear those voices too, hon. I used to do Weigh Down and she had this part of the video where she would talk about this..."Then the pan of brownies would call my name and I would say 'YES, pan of brownies!!!' and then the number three special at the burger joint would call my name...Gweeennnnnnnn and I would say, 'YES, number 3 special!!!'" :lol3: ROFLMAO...it wouldn't be so funny if it weren't so darn true! :rolleyes: I say, drop the whole load off at an old age home...they'll be thrilled to have it and you'll be thrilled to get rid of it! ;)

Pearshape, YAY for rats!!! :hyper: I love them so much, but most people I know don't feel the same. I think their tails are so sweet and I love having one up on my shoulder. :D Enjoy your new furbabies! :love:

I really, really wish I could write back to everyone...but I just don't have the time anymore. I've been avoiding the daily for that reason, but Ruth's response to Bunna reminded me that I don't *have* to respond to everyone. So I'll try to respond to different people each day, okay? Know that I love you all! :grouphug:

Me:
We hit the jackpot last night! At one point I gave DH a high five :high: and said, "We SO made up for the sunflower seeds!" :lol: Last year we passed out sunflower seeds, which didn't go over as well as I'd hoped. There was some serious muttering and DH was afraid we'd get egged AND teepeed! :yikes:

This year we gave out Halloween themed mini bags of microwave popcorn along with toys from Oriental Trading Company. They were very well received by most of our trick-or-treaters, who yelled things like, "Look mom, we got POPCORN!!!" :lol: Only one set of older kids seemed disgruntled. Sorry, kiddos! We actually ran out, even though I bought 80...but I had some Kashi granola bars I keep around for DH, so we gave them some of those but still had some left over. Think we had about 85 or 90 kids. A good amount but not too many. :D

We had a great dinner followed by a pumpkin cheesecake with a nut crust that I made. It turned out pretty well! The crust needs some more splenda and seasonings, but otherwise, it was great! I'll post the converted recipes in the forum soon.

I don't have choir tonight, so I may go to an OA meeting. I've been in the SF ice cream lately and it's not a good thing. :o DH and I will also try to go to an All Saints mass. :angel: Hope everyone has a great day! :D

It's kitty daycare here!!!!

It’s a GIRL!!!!!

DS and DD are the proud new parents of a lovely medium haired, golden eyed, calico tabby, ten week old kitten!!!!
Her name is Rainbow in keeping with their cousin’s calico named Rambo.DD thought Rainbow was more suitable for a girl.giggle.

Parents a kitty seem to be doing well.

Clyde is also doing fine. We are making sure he is still king of the household. We haven’t had a baby kitty around in almost 17 years.

By the way~ this was all DH’s idea but I did have Rainbow in a box and in the van and at the vet within a 1/2 hour of him suggesting it.

Weeheeee!!!

off to the restaurant to see what damage i can do. :lol:

will check in later while babysitting dgd's. :eek: i told the 1 yo no pooping since i am one handed :nono: fortunately her sissy is 9 yo and helps with that.
