It's Halloween Time!!!

  As you know from past posts I lead a pretty busy life! This past week we had lots of things going on! From basketball tournaments to class Halloween parties AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST my 1st job!!! Yes I said it my 1st job!!! I have been trying since the first day of school to get hired on with our Headstart program being a substitute teacher! Been waiting all this time for my OSBI check to come in. Well it finally did and I went for my drug test and of course passed! So on Thursday I had my first job of filling in for one of the teachers! I had so much fun! I have been volunteering on Monday's and Friday's with my son's class so my son and the rest of his class couldn't understand why I was in another class and not theirs! It was fun though:) I will be getting paid every 2 weeks and my first paycheck will be next Wednesday! Granted its only going to have 8 hours on it but its better than nothing!! YAY GO ME!! I haven't worked in 10 years!! But the good thing is though is that I will have the same hours as the kids and when they are out of school for a holiday so will I:)

  My son is in 5th grade and they had their first basketball tournament this week! They had a blast! They lost their first game so the continued on to the looser bracket, won their second game and played Saturday! They won the 3rd game and got a plaque! They were all so excited! My son did really well! He needs to work on guarding his man and getting in their faces but over all I think he will be a pretty good basketball player! He even scored his first shot! I was and still am VERY proud of him!!!! It looks as though not only will I be a baseball mom but a basketball mom as well! This next week they have a tournament in Stonewall! I am hoping I get to go to a few of those games but they are all away games so we will see!

Ayrton makes a basket! YAY!!!

On Friday the elementary had their Halloween parties! I know it is a few days early but they had their fall carnival that evening and they always have their parties on the same day as the carnival! My lil man's party isn't till next week and he was pretty upset that he didn't get to wear his costume to school:( But on the other hand at least I will get to spend the day with him and not have to be running like a chicken with its head cut off to 4 different parties! To start the morning off they all went Trick or Treating at the local businesses here in Roff. It was pretty cold so the principal bused them over class by class to their first stop Heartland Trading Co., then they walked to the Senior Citizen's building, Post office, City hall, Bank, and last stop was TNT the gas station then headed back to school:) I got some pretty good shots of that and then I got to take a lil break to eat some lunch and put Bri and Ayrton's goody sacks together. Their classes have to bring their own snacks for the party which makes it a lil easier on the parents. I couldn't figure out what to put all their goodies into so I got a lil creative and made them a personalized box! I think they turned out really cute and they both LOVED them!!!  Then the parties began! Lorelai's class did the traditional party where parents brought the goodies! Let me tell you there were so many parents there bringing goodies that there was NO WAY those kids were going to be able to eat them all! Lorelai ended up putting all hers into a ziplock and bringing it home! LOL!!! Bri and Ayrton's class didn't really do anything special they just ate their goodies and visited. Of course all of the kiddos were on a sugar high and you could feel the buzzing of energy in the air! But hey its Halloween I wouldn't expect any less!!!  The parties were a hit!!

 Then we came home and the kids continued their party  here at home! LOL! LITERALLY!!! I have pics to prove it! HEHE!!! But I can't post those cause Lorelai is in a tshirt and her undies! LMAO!! I heated up some stew and then we were off to the Fall Carnival. Usually it is at the ball field but it was too cold for that so they moved it into the Armory. We played a few games and the kids got more candy, had a funnel cake (which is not good for my diet! If I am not careful I am going to gain back all the weight I lost before Christmas!!), then we came home and fell asleep early.

  Today is Sunday and we are just being lazy! We haven't had a lazy weekend in over a month and it sure feels nice! BUT boy am I bored! LOL my body is use to going and this sitting at home is driving it crazy! My hubby doesn't have to work today so his idea of lazy is out cleaning up the yard and getting it ready for winter! LOL!!! I actually need to be getting some laundry done but in my defense I did clean out my Scentsy warmers and got some Autumn Stroll warming! LOL!!! Next week I have Lil man's party, another Sub position, Trick or Treating and family pics on Sunday! I am excited about that! We didn't get family pics done last year so its time!! I can't wait to post those!
 
  Anyway I hope everyone is enjoying the fall weather and a nice relaxing weekend with their family! Remember these days won't last long! Soon our kids will be grown, gone to college, and starting families of their own so enjoy them while they are little!
