Getting Ready for Valentine's Day

The boys' are so excited about their Valentine's Day parties at school tomorrow. We had to go to Target to get what they needed. We were so behind. Oh well, it was a fun trip with my boys and they had the best time getting the things to make Valentine's for their classmates.

The got Candy, tattoos, and all sorts of random things to add to their Valentine's fun. John Michael got his teacher some gorgeous flowers. He also got the other Kindergarten teacher a small box of chocolates. Danny got his teacher a box of chocolates and his religion teacher a chocolate rose.

When we got home the boys had a blast making their Valentine's bags for their friends. We all had a good time, and it was a great night.

Trunk or Treat

So today the boys' had to get their rooms cleaned. While this was not what they wanted to do it was what they had to do if they wanted to go to Trunk or Treat at the church tonight. The plan was to go there and go to Mass. We left there early though to run by the store before Mass. I had to get things to finish up goody bags for tomorrow's Halloween parties and we had some time to kill.
We also went to Northpark's Fall Festival. The boys wanted to get more candy and waiting till tomorrow was not what they wanted to hear. We did not stay long, but we did let them get a few pieces.
It was a nice family night with my 3 boys! I have to say I am so ready for tomorrow night though. Halloween is so much fun and so little stress, which makes it awesome! The boys seem really excited too.
I have the goody bags ready for Kindergarten, and candy to take to third grade to add to their goody bags. I am looking forward to spending the afternoon with the boys' in their classes. I have told Brandon to get to work early and get off early so we can start trick or treating early! Hopefully it will all work out!
Well, I am off to finish a few pictures and then to bed. Know that I am praying for you all!

Haunted Cubs

So today was a pretty good day, while I was nowhere near as productive as I would have liked, it was all good though.

It started with the school Mass with the boys. Today's mass focused on listening to the many voices of God and how He sends us messages in many ways. It was a great message and I was super proud of the boys and the fact that they were able to tell me what Fr. Bob said.

As surgery day is getting closer John Michael is starting to get scared. It breaks my heart. I just keep reassuring him that his ear doctor is great and that Mom and Dad will be right there. It was so much easier when he did not realize what was happening. My sweet baby boy.

John Michael ended the day with a green face, which made me so proud. He is such a sweet boy and just has to learn that he cannot always have it his way.

So I have decided that I will learn how to coupon. I do not know that I will ever been an extreme couponer, but I have to be able to save money and to be able to help others would be nice. First step, remembering to get a Sunday paper.

So tonight was the Cub Scout Pack meeting, which was a Halloween party. We wanted the boys' to have a good time and get to wear their costumes. It was a great meeting. We made goody bags for all of the kids, and I want to thank the parents for all bringing candy to add to them. It is always nice to know that everyone helped out. The bags were full!! Thanks to everyone who helped me get them stuffed too! I had done what I could at home, but getting them finished up was concerning me. Thanks to the amazing parents that we have it was done without any problems.

Well, I am off to bed. Know that you are all in my prayers. Brandon is taking the boys' to school in the morning so hopefully I will be VERY productive.
