Reflecting and remembering...

I felt that I needed to do this page in their memory...

The Haunted Trail...

Some were scary...




Some were cute...





Some were just being boys! For ODS's b-day we had 9 boys in our house! They had a great time being apart of the haunted trail, and then had a blast staying up late!

Busy night...

ODS is having his B-day party tonight & we are taking them to participate in a Haunted Trail. It should be fun! I will share some pics with you tomorrow!!!

Another Awesome Sketch inspiration...

PHutch from TSS has provided an awesome one page sketch for November!! Here is my take of this sketch...

Busy days ahead...

I have some papers and presentations to put together for my Graduate courses. My focus is on Standards and Accountability. It is a good thing that I understand the standards system, or this would be driving me crazy about now!! LOL!!

Some sad news (at least for ODS)...they are out of the play-offs, so football is over. At least for another year. Then today he asked when basketball was starting!! LOL!!!
