What a fast week!

This week has gone by so quickly. As is custom, we had a big storm come in Sunday night.  For some reason, Mike cannot leave without our having a big storm or something breaking on the house.   Actually, I take that back.  There have been a few times when he left and nothing major happened.  More often than not, something major happens, though.  As luck would have it, we have had tornado warnings most of last night as well as thru tonight.  Lucky us!  haha

Monday we had trunk or treat.  That was fun.

Tuesday was Emma's show choir.  They practice in Carrollton, which is about 20 mins (with no traffic).  Some other mothers wanted to carpool, so we start thursday.  YEAH!

Wednesday was Young mens. Jake didn't have anything planned and Josh was having a party.  Apparently they were having an ice cream party for everyone who has been writing in their journals.  I was so tired of driving.  I have been taking Jake to and from seminary every morning (basically twice because I have to come home and wake up kids while he is in class then go pick him up and return home again).  I've also been up to school helping out during the day almost every day.  I am fortunate to have been sleeping a litle better this time while Mike is gone.  I have been able to be in bed by 11:30 PM every night, but I am still wiped out by the evening.  :}   Anyway, I let Josh stay home Wednesday and I took a night off from driving.

Tonight is show choir again.  I am the carpool lady tonight.  The good thing is that I won't have to drive Saturday OR Tuesday.  Yeah!  Hopefully the bad weather will stay away long enough to get to and from practice safely.  :}

Tomorrow is the annual Halloween festivities downtown on Main street.  It's really neat.  All the businesses hand out candy to the kids.  The fire station and jail/police station are on Main street, so they are included in the festivities. Local churches also get into the act.  Usually they have free popcorn, cotton candy, hot dogs and drinks.  The jail is usually made into a haunted house.  The boys go in, but the girls haven't worked up the courage yet.  Maybe this year.  :}

I also found out Mike will be coming home tomorrow.  YEAH!  :}  We all look forward to having him back home.  Hopefully he will be able to stay for a while.  :}
