My Ghoul and boys.....Mwah ah ah

Ok...firstly, I debated over whether to celebrate Halloween with my kiddos this year yet again, and we decided that our kids know enough to know what is real and not, and what their convictions are.  We told them not to do anything they were convicted of being wrong.....that being said I feel like we had so much fun this year with our kids.  It really was a time of new things and experiences and lots of just plain hanging out as a family and enjoying each other.   I am in awe of how old they all are and how fast time goes.   Here are some pictures of our weekend we wanted to share with you!

Ok so I have to put this one first because I love this picture.  Dave was cutting the tops off of the kids pumpkins and giving some pointers.   This was fun, I think the last time we carved pumkins bailey may have been 6.  Dave is such a cute Dave!  and just look at my cuties I love my family!

The kids gutted and carved their own pumkins they picked out.  The then put all of the guts in my kitchen sink and separated out the seeds and pulp.  Pulp was trash, seeds took a bath in butter and ranch seasoning and baked for and hour at 300.  The result was quite amazing if I do say so myself!

Cute little boogers!  Bailey carved and owl, Simon a skull and Ben did a bat.  I was happy to see none of them poop out before they were done!  Very awesome pumpkins.  However we decided that since our area is a bit on the questionable side, we would be best off bringing the pumkins inside.  So we did!

We pushed the two sofas up against the air mattress. This was so fun!   Lights out pumpkins lit, Simon picked our first scary movie of the evening.  Get this......"Mega Piranha".  Let me just say that this movie was NOT scary.  I am convinced that out of any movie in history I am amazed that this was even funded, or ever taken seriously.  The main star was Tiffany.....remember the red head wonder who remade the Beatles song, "I think We're Alone Now."   It was TERRIBLE AWFUL and Simon LOVED it of course.  Dave and I spent the movie texting to each other how miserable we were.  Then we watched a movie called House of Fears, not scarey but the kids sure thought it was the finished it off with an edited version of Bram Stokers DRACULA MWAH AH AH.

My scary kiddos.  Bailey is some sort of cutie pie 80's Zombie.   Ben is a mummy (see below) and Simon is the Dashing Vampire in the middle.   Let me say I spent exactly NO money on costumes, my kids were on their own and I was pretty impressed with their creativity.

Ok so lesson to learn here folks?   Saving money buying Scott tissue works great in the bathroom but not as a costume, it fell apart and lasted exactly one minute.   Poor Ben!

My beautiful nephew Caleb who said his first sentence on Halloween and I quote, "Summer you are my most favorite auntie in the whole world and I love you."  I was so proud, he is definately advanced.  HEE HEE

Other than Halloween, David and I have been going nutso trying to keep our house presentable.  We placed a contract on a home in Bradford, (six houses down from Dave's parents), and they accepted a contingent offer.  We are so very happy!  The house has a lake in the backyard, family close by and it has been well kept.  We ask that you continue to pray for our current house to sell.  Also we would love to find our own buyer because we would then only pay a 1% commission.   Someone is coming to look tonight so PRAY PRAY PRAY!    Here is a picture of the house we are shooting for!

Also David is trying to sell his 1999 For F-150 V8 pickup.  We are then hoping to pick up a more economical car and possibly a little junker for Bay's first car.  So hopefully this sells too.  Here is a pic if you are interested.  We have it listed at $4300.00 on craigslist.  It has about 133,XXX miles on it and is a nice truck. Holla if you're interested.

Peace Out From the Schoenhals Gang!
