Sticker monster

The sticker monster attacked me this morning! Zack loves to put stickers on anything and everything! He doesn't stop at one! I ended up with 15 stickers up my arm this morning.

Foot In The Door

Late Monday night I got a text from one of the teachers at the preschool Maddie and Zack attend. She stated that she wouldn't be able to go into work and asked if I minded subbing in for her. I jumped at the chance, not knowing what class she taught or age group, well anything really. In the future I will be looking for something part time while the kids will be going to school and I don't want to hire a sitter or day care so I thought about doing something that has the same hours, and working at the preschool sounded perfect!!! Back at the beginning of school year I took a sub class to get certified and there were TONS of women in this class most were former teachers and everything so I didn't think that I had a chance. (This school has a long line of teachers and you only get in subbing first.) So again when I got the message I jumped! I found out later that it was the Mom's Morning Out class, which is the 12 month - 24 month class. I had 6 kids with the assistant Miss Rachel. They were wonderful and I had a blast!!! So I'm hoping in the future I can sub again. That way in a year or two I can make my way as a teacher at the school!

Halloween Craziness

I have been super busy the last few weeks getting ready for Halloween.  I have made a few costumes (3 to be exact), plan a couple of parties, and spend time with family.  First, I have decided to make some costumes this year.  Why?  I don't know...I have grown to love my sewing machine I guess.  I have made Maddie's princess dress, our nephew's (Cayden) costume, and I am currently making my costume.  After our Trunk or Treat adventure on Saturday I have also decided to fix poor Zack's costume.  The thing was WAY to short and tight.  So I will be coming up with a way to fix it. 

I was asked to throw another Halloween Bash this year and I was all for it.  However, due to no one RSVPing we might be canceling this party.  Which I am very disappointed in, but my bestie, Crystal, has made feel much better about it.  She said if we don't have a party here we can go out to a costume contest and all our hard work will not be wasted.  I was also asked to be Room Mom again this year for the kids' class.  So, that means I am also planning their Halloween Party that will be next week.  I am VERY excited about this party.  I posted a Sneak Peek on my party blog site: Party Right Now.  I am currently trying to make games and crafts for them to do at the party.  I think they will love it!

I have to post some pics of the costumes that I have made so far.  I am just so excited that I actually made something!!  Maddie in her princess dress and Cayden in his Boots costume.  Aren't they cute models?

Fall Festival

Saturday we went to a Halloween Fall Festival/Trunk or Treat at a church that we have our MOPS meetings at.  The kids had a BLAST.  I loved it!  Everything was completely free for the kids (and adults).  I was so impressed!  Food, games, and crafts!  We just had so much fun!  Thanks for Mamaw for coming to help wrangle them!!

Trying on our Costumes

We are SOOOO ready for Halloween (well momma needs to work on Zack's a little)!

P.S. Maddie's costume (and two others) is just one of many reasons I have been behind on blogging.  Lots going on right now.  I will be sharing soon!

Cousin Fun

The four eating dinner, well, more like playing with dinner!

Dan Nicholas Park

Sunday, the 14th after church we headed to the Dan Nicholas Park in Kannapolis.  They have a train, Merry go round, and playgrounds.  We all had a blast!
