November 1st 2009

wow i cant believe that its already november.. where is the year just flying by too?

we did something new for halloween this year, although most years would find us out trick or treating the streets with our superhero, scary monster, or cute fuzzy animal.. this year found us heading to TOTUS to check it out. TOTUS is trick or treat under the sea which was put together by our local aquarium.
all in all TOTUS was a good time, however there were a few areas we werent to pleased with, like the fact that they used venders for trick or treating to.. so when a child went up and said *trick or treat* mom and dad were quickly hit up with a sales pitch.. surely could have used without that side of it.. no i dont have any plans of buying your mary kay and no i dont want to go check out your charter school, summer camp or whatever else you are trying to sell me. now i could understand the vender side if this was a free event which it wasnt there was a charge at the door.. so um yeah could have done without that.
all in all it was neat to go threw the aquarium and see what they did decoration wise.. im sure it could have been more creative and spooky however i do think this was geared towards a much younger age group and on that side i wouldnt expect more than it was.
the boys had fun and ultimately in the end thats all that mattered.
i tried to think of other halloween fun we could have on halloween night and the nights leading up to it.. so friday night found wyatt and i locked in the kitchen making spooky halloween cakes..
i made a spider and wyatt made what has become known as his *boo* cake.. one that he drew out and designed himself. it was a ton of fun.. i love to see his creative side come out and he loves loves loves to cook..
halloween night itself found us deep in a game of monopoly and just having great family times. needless to say wyatt kicked everyones butt..
little ron pushed me out of the game first, than took care of daddy.. and than wyatt went in and wiped his big brother clean. it was funny to watch the game end, i dont think little ron was to overly happy about loosing to his little brother!
after our game we all had a peice of boo cake and than it was time to settle down for the night.
tonight its just relaxing and getting things done around the house.. clyde is in a big need for a bath, and well me and the bigger boys are just hanging around doing whatever. poor ron had to work today *pouts*

now the countdown begins until little ron turns.. 16!! omg time is just flying by ~
