Trunk or Treat

We have had a whirlwind of a week! On Monday night we carved pumpkins for Family Home Evening! The girls had a ton of fun. We got some extra funny parts on video. Elyse and Daddy carved a witch on their pumpkin. When we asked Madyson what they were carving she said..."think of a word that rhymes with witch." It was hilarious. I know we are horrible parents, but we kept getting her to say it because it was so funny. Even when we tried sounding out the w for her she still didn't say it right. Fun Times!!!


Elyse and Madyson were the cutest fairies ever!!! I made their tutus. It was fun doing because nobody had their same outfit!!! I found shirts at Michael's for under $2 each! (What a steal!) Thanks Aunt Jessica for the suggestion! They get to wear makeup once a year...only on Halloween! They were really excited about that! This is before we left to go to the Trunk or Treat at church. They had a really good time seeing their friends. They had music going for dancing. Elyse spent some time with her friend Hannah dancing in the back of their truck. It was really cute!
I LOVE this picture!!! She is such a happy little girl!

Madyson at her school's Trunk or Treat. I had so much fun being there passing out candy. They kids were all so adorable! When Madyson saw me she came running to me and gave me a hug. It made my day! I decided to dress up and have a little fun.
Elyse with her friend Lindsey from her class.
Elyse had a really good time. When she walked out to the parking lot I could tell she was looking for me. I was dressed up so I don't think she recognized me until I called her name and got her attention. I love my daughters! I am so glad I was able to help with the Trunk or Treat and see them in action at their preschool! Have a Happy Halloween!

Again...

First of all it has been way too long since I lost wrote! The girls have been enjoying preschool. Madyson comes home singing songs that I haven't taught her! I love it! I have been enjoying my time alone. I am taking piano lessons and that has been keeping me somewhat busy. I enjoy practicing and just sitting and playing. It brings me peace.
We are out of a job...again! I am not sure how many more times I can handle this. Apparently the good Lord knows that I can so it happens again. Although I get the feeling it happened this time because we are supposed to be here in San Angelo. I think we have something we need to accomplish here before we can go. Not sure what it is, but it is a strong feeling that I get. Clay actually had a job interview on Monday that went really well. It is for the Core of Engineers here at Goodfellow AFB. It should keep us here 2 more years at least. They are doing background checks and stuff right now. I know that he will get this job. The only problem with that is it is a big cut in pay. So I am now job hunting as well. I have a substitute teacher orientation that I am going to attend tomorrow. I also have a job interview on Friday for an English teacher position at the middle school. I am really excited, but really scared at the same time. I haven't been in a job interview in 7 years. And it wasn't for anything professional either. I am really nervous, but hopefully it turns out okay. I am hoping they love me and I can start working by the end of the month! That would be awesome.
We are doing okay with everything! I am so thankful for the gospel. I am thankful that I have the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I feel him strongly in my life. Otherwise I would not be at peace right now. Everything will work out. This is just our challenge. I can HANDLE IT!
