Hallows parade

Did you ever have costume parades when you were in Elementary school? My school always had one. The parade would start with Kindergarten and they would go through a class room and then that class would join onto the end of the line and then the next class room we went through that class would join on the end of the train and it would keep going until we had gone through every grade and class room. When we circled back around to our own classroom we would sit down and watch the costume parade snake it's way back through the school until everyone returned back to their own classroom. Does that make any sense? It was nice though because parents could stay in their child's classroom and see the whole parade.

This was Peanuts first year being in school during Halloween, all of the other years she has been off track, so she was able to participate in her first costume parade. Her school has police block off a street for a few blocks and all of the parents surround the streets and watch from the curb. For sure a lot less confusing that how my school did it, but it was a lot more COLD.
Here they come, marching down the street.
Do you see Peanut? She is in the green coat. She is looking for me.
She spotted me. Here she is waving hello.

Here she is again, still waving.

woops, now she is passing me.......still waving.
She is Dorothy, just in case you couldn't tell :)

#Millions of Peaches#



50 lbs of peaches = 8 quarts of sliced peaches, 6 pints of freezer jam, 10 jars peach butter, 4 peach smoothies, 5 lunch times snacks, 1 breakfast of pancakes and peaches, 3 breakfasts of peaches and milk, lots of deliciousness.

It has been a while since I have posted anything, I think three kids has given me a run for my money. Actually, I don't THINK, i KNOW. My house seems to never be clean anymore, I will clean one room and come back in 10 minutes and the room will be dirty again. I can't remember ANYTHING!I feel I am in a constant state of forgetfulness, super scatterbrained. Laundry is never done. Meadow only gets a bath maybe 3x a week,-my other kids were bathed every night-so if you hold Meadow and she smells like spit up--don't judge. However, I am soaking in every second of my little kids here at home. For some reason it has finally come to a realization that they won't be little forever and I need to enjoy them while they will let me.

Here are some random thoughts for you:
*I am experiencing major vertigo right now, to the point where I am feeling motion sick.
*I am getting my hair dyed dark today (at least I think, we will see what the hair dresser talks me into)
*I have great friends and family who always are so willing to watch my kids.
*Someone very close to me is headed to India soon.
*I will have been married for 10 years tomorrow.
*I have already bought my ticket to see New Moon in November.
*I am loving YOGA although I missed my class yesterday.
*Finley is enjoying pre-school. I am glad he was able to make it into a class with his two besties.
*I started a blog to keep track of our family's favorite recipe's, if you want to take a peek click HERE. (the wild rice soup is DELICIOUS)
*My camera is headed to India very soon.
*I have less than a month left of my 20's.

well, that about sums it up.
