Anyways, Halloween for us was wet and chilly, but as always the kids were loaded with candy. And for the first time, they were interested in helping me pass out candy after we went trick or treating. It was hilarious to watch them get startled when they would see someone dressed up in a scary mask or just odd consume. And they were of course the cutest kids in town!
Pretty pink princess Mackenzie
Cameron was Cowboy Woody from Toy Story
Taylor had a very cool costume as Katniss Everdeen from the Hunger Games
And I love the fun of getting dressed up so I was a witch this year!
Now that it's November, the rest of our year is very busy. Happy birthday Aunt Jo on Thursday! Friday Taylor will be 11. Sometimes it's crazy to think she's that old. Even though she's my sister, I feel so old! And to make me feel older, Mackenzie will be 4 Saturday! She's have a Sofia the First themed gymnastics party on Sunday, and she just can't wait for it!
After her party, the kids are staying the night at grandmas so Marty and I can have our anniversary date night. Our anniversary is Monday, 6 years! We are planning on going for sushi, and like Mackenzie, I just can't wait!
Thursday, of course, is thanksgiving, which is always busy and crazy for us. The joys of having multiple families we have to see. Planning on at least 2 thanksgivings and possibly 3 depending on what time the other dinner is.
And coming up, my favorite time of year right after all of this fun, Christmas!!!
Update on the fitness front:
I've hit the 50 lb mark and still working on it. I of course knew it was going to be a slow process, but sometimes it's just too long. Back on track again. I was pushed off track for a bit with my diet. My self control was gone and I wasn't counting my calories. I didn't gain anything back, except the normal fluctuations in my weight, but I didn't lose anything either. Oh well. I'm back to Zumba! I haven't been often because Marty has been working and we don't have sitters around town, so I've been working out at home, which can get really boring. Last night I decided to try to take the kids to Zumba with me. They have a kids room at the gym filled with a bunch of toys. They were amazing! I was such a proud momma. And they had fun and asked to go again! Ok, no problem! By the way, a non scale victory yesterday, I bought a pair of workout shorts in the spring that turned out to be too small. I haven't wore them until yesterday, and now they're too big!
I'll try to keep this better updated so you don't have to read a book every time you check out my posts :)
