Happy Halloween!

So it's that creepy scary time of year again and we spent it with my family. Drew and I did homemade costumes again this year like we did on our first Halloween. I made my hat and broom the night before and Drew bought his giant spider that day. Oddly enough he

won best costume again at work! I made pumpkins for his employees with their names craved in them which was a lot harder to do than I thought it would be. For my employees I made a large pumpkin to hold candy along with a Starbucks gift card

and the winner of best costume won it. This year was the best turn out for my work, even the bosses dressed up. Later that day we made ghoulish dishes and met everyone at my sister's house My sister is always good with coordinating her families clothes and costumes but, this year had to be my favorite. I love the "Superhero" theme! Drew, Chris, Andrea, and I all walked the whole neighborhood with Chris and the kids. It was pretty cold on this Halloween and it started raining towards the end. You could defiantly tell we were in a recession by the decorations and lack of candy. The kids made out well since they live in a rather large neighborhood.

Apple Picking Time!

Drew and I picked up my little brother and all my niece and nephews and went apple picking. We took the kids last year and they had a blast so we wanted to do it again before they move. I strapped they baby onto my chest and we started our walk to the apple orchard. The weather was perfect! It wasn't cool but, it was hot, just perfect! Since there were nine of us picking apples I told them all to pick ten apples each, yeah that didn't work. My 7 yr old nephew had has bag full in about five minutes! It was really cute to watch my 2 yr old nephew pick. He wanted to take a bit out of each apple he picked. Their Uncle Dylan and Drew would climb up in the trees to get the really shinny hard to reach ones.

It was towards the end of the apple season but, they tasted really good! In all we picked about 30 lbs of apples!

The last of the 1st day of School :(

This is my last first day of school with the kids and yes I cried. I started crying on my way over at 6:30 am and I said to myself that I wouldn't cry in front of the kids. Well as you can probably tell in my picture with Beanie I was crying and I started losing it on the way back in the house. My sister couldn't look at me because she knew she would start crying. Boo woke up and was hugging me and telling me "Aunt Kisha it's too early to cry". I got my act together and put my make-up on for work and walked all Beanie and Boo to their bus stops. I didn't get to walk Lulu or Trit to theirs since I had to go to work. I can't believe how fast they are growing up and how fast time fly's!
