I am trying--Yes, I Am Trying to Get Back To Blogging
Hey there fellow bloggers. I am going to give this another shot. I have been very lax about keeping up with this, but I am going to try to get on the ball with this. While I try to catch up, i will probably post one new blog and one old one each time I journal so that I can get everything on here. I've heard that you can actually print blogs now, so I am looking into that possibility! :) Hope you are all having a great week! :)

School Boofest 2009~~~October 16
I don't have a thing to wear!!!
Ben looking through his costume bin to decide what he wanted to wear to the school Halloween party they called "Boofest." It was the school's first annual Halloween bash. I have a feeling it was b/c we have a new Principal and he is allowing Holiday parties instead of "seasonal" parties! YAY!!! Ben told the kids at school he was going to be a Skeleton but we had bought a Pirate costume for him. He went through the costume bin as if he was a girl going on a date and said, "I don't have anything to wear!!!" I laughed so hard b/c he probably has 30 costumes in there that i've picked up at garage sales. 
Braden was Tow Mater from the movie Cars. It's one of his favorites and I happened to find this one at a garage sale early in the summer. He was soooooo excited about wearing it! He kept saying, "Where's my hook?" (His tow hook in the back of the costume) He also kept trying to hook things with it and "tow" them. What a character! 
Ben ultimately decided on the Pirate costume b/c we were going to be indoors and it would be a cooler costume than the one with the mask that goes over his head. And he was very happy he did after we felt how HOTTTT it was in the school building! 
Braden wanted to try to keep up with his big bro (as always) by making the mean faces Ben was making. I took about 10 pics of them. I have some doozies! 
This was inside the school gym. Neat balloon arch! Very festive. I was impressed at the time and effort they put in on the Boofest. The hallways were really done up neat and they had a costume contest for each grade in several categories. In the cafeteria was a magician and snacks for everyone. There was a hayride on the playground and even a pumpkin decorating contest for anyone to enter.
This is Ben waiting with some classmates for the costume judging to begin.
After the Boofest I had promised the boys we would build a "Tent" in the living room and have a slumber party--just the three of us (Andy had the flu all week and I had been on the couch trying to avoid catching it) so when we got home we built that and popped popcorn and watched Karate Kid I. Ben had never seen it before and loved it! Saturday night we watched Karate Kid II and he liked that one even more! (We rented them from "On Demand." What a great invention!!! :)) Braden who had cried from the time we started trick or treating the classrooms at the school and didn't stop til we got to the car fell asleep nearly as soon as his head hit the pillow! He does NOT like crowds and we experience that at nearly every school function. Oh well, we all have our quirks! Fun night and weekend!!! :)
Sunday night Andy took me to see Matthew West in concert. He had bought me tickets for my Birthday. Mom took the boys to church with her (Braden got to go to JBQ for the first time with Ben, and then she brought them back to the house and put them to bed for us.) What an AWESOME concert and night!!! A much needed break--very inspirational too!!! :)

"My Ice Cream Falled Over"
Braden definately has a way with words. Just before I took this clip, he was saying, "My ice cream falled over" (which meant it got all over him) Just a cute clip I wanted to put on here of his personality in March.
