Hi everybody! we sure have been busy, busy girls around here lately- we are getting ready for Halloween.... school and parties and costumes and candy- oh my! So Calli so politely informed me last night that I was supposed to make treats for the school party, as well as supply decorations... oh that dear child- I would get sooo bored without her! So- we made eyeball donuts and bought streamers- I might've taken the easy road on that one :)

Anyway- spoiler alert before you get the pics- Teags is a pretty kitty this year, and Calli is a pirate... you will love their costumes! I promise to find my old camera and put real-life batteries in it, and take some pictures! Besides that- not a lot- Calli is doing great with special chorus and is waaaayyy too popular for her own good this year... (holy slumber parties every weekend)... Teags had a nasty cold this week, but is feeling much better, and I have been super busy at work, but am making a big old dent in the work that was overdue :)

Love you all and hope to hear from you soon- sorry again about being such a slacker on the blog these days- send me a camera!

Hey hey everybody :) I love having these new family pics for our posterity.... they turned out pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself! As for updates on Kara and the girls- we have been crazy busy! School is going great for Calli and Teags- Calli just started special chorus, and this is an all-year thing with lots of performances (Calli is very excited about the special outfit of black pants and white shirt).... so they practice once a week before school- good for her! Teags is very social and loving kindergarten. Her teacher is "kinda mean sometimes" but she loves her the rest of the time :) As for me- going on my second week at the new job- I work for Spine Team in Spokane, which is in the valley, so only a 20 minute commute... I am liking it very much! It's a big change to be up and have the kids out with sitters for part of the day, but it's going great and I'm paying taxes again- woohoo! They already played a prank on me this week with a huge grim reaper skeleton outside my office, so I am feeling part of the team at this point :)

Besides that- we decorated the house for Halloween tonight and made brownies, and watched the Bears get beat down by the Giants- so a very good day all in all.... love you all so much and hope to see you soon!
