Dress Up Friday

This is how everyone looked this morning as they headed out the door:
Cutie Cowgirl Kori

Clint Michael Jackson:

He wanted to work the "glove" into his costume.  His costume is complete with glitter socks!  He was practicing the moonwalk this morning, I don't know if he's going to show off his skills at school or not.

No, it's not Christmas yet, it's just Wes dressed as one of his partners, Paul Holden.  You have to know Paul to understand this costume.  Trust me, it's hilarious.  He even has the ponytail!

And here's a preview of our poor kitty, who doesn't like to be dressed up at all.  We continue to make him into a Halloween cat every year.  We thought this costume was timely.  Since our cat's name is Kevin, he's dressed as "Kevin", the mama bird from the movie "Up!" 

And that's it for today.  Tomorrow's Halloween, so more costumes are surely in store!!  Have a fun Halloween and be safe!

The Clint Splint

Last Friday, Wes and I were both called to Clint's school to pick him up since he "wasn't feeling well."  When we got there, we found him in the office with an ice pack, white as a ghost, and very dazed.  Turns out he had gotten hit in the hand in PE while playing dodgeball.  When he tried to alert his teacher, he got queasy and actually fainted - twice!!  We loaded him up and took him straight to Emergency where they x-rayed his hand and found a broken index finger.  He got a temporary splint for the weekend, and then he got this nice plastic splint with the totally 80's hot pink straps.  He will wear this for 2 or 3 weeks, and he'll start physical therapy next week.  Clint was actually pretty excited to have broken a bone, and he's quite proud of his battle wound!  The realities are hitting him this week though.  It's pretty tough to do school work without a working right hand!  We are trying to help him as much as we can at home, and his teachers have been very understanding.  The important thing is to get him healed properly.  That's an important finger and we don't want to lose any range of motion.  We're glad he hasn't had a lot of pain, and that it wasn't any worse!

Shoe Favors

Check out these fun shoes.  I found these on the internet and had to try them.  I used them for some thank you gifts and birthday gifts this month.  They're very fun to make, and you could use them for anything!  Any woman would love a new shoe!! Visit the link to find the template.

Blue With A Capital "B"!!

Clint is finally back in his bedroom!  It has been a long 4 1/2 months without a bedroom of his own.  It all started back in May with the freaky rains that flooded Clint's room.  It took a while to get the pad replaced and carpet re-laid.  Then we decided to repaint since everything was out of the room anyway.  Between Mom being busy, and unmotivated (mostly the unmotivated part), the painting took quite a long time too.  But it is finally finished and the furniture is moved back in.  We call this paint "painter's tape blue" because it is the exact color of the blue painter's tape.  This might be the cleanest we ever see Clint's room too!!

New Michael Buble Music!!

Woo-Hoo!!  LOVE this!!

Everything From A to Z!

       It's UEA, the kids are out of school, so we headed to Hogle Zoo!  This baby elephant is the big attraction right now.  Her name is Zuri, and she's just as cute as you can imagine.  She is lively and just adorable!

      We went with our neighbors, the Wallaces.  We call them the Wallabys, hence the sign! 

We didn't know it was dress up day at the zoo, so we had to improvise while we were there!

Shouldn't these animals be behind the fence!?!

Thanks Wallaces for a very fun day!
