Halloween in saftey town.

Our city has this really cool thing called Safety City. It is a mini little city, with small buildings and everything that is run by the police station. Schools go in for field trips and they do safety training. Every Halloween they have it open to everyone for free candy, hot dogs, activities ect. I thought it would be fun to take the kids this year (it was the evening before Halloween).

BIG MISTAKE.

The atmosphere was fine, but everyone that had a child in Knoxville was there, I swear. We waited in line at least 40 minutes to get in. We waited in line 30 minutes for a Hot Dog. We waited in line for a drink. The kids didn't really get any candy, it was just way to crowded. I applaud you Knoxville on having a safe cool place for Halloween activity, unfortunately it is just a little to small for all of us.

My mom came and visited us around Halloween. We went to help with Josh's class Halloween party. Boy, did those kids luck out in the food department and then they got to watch, "Charlie Browns, The Great Pumpkin". Tough life in kindergarten. Holly loved being there also.

Cutest witch ever

I was in Wal-mart with Holly and I couldn't resist talking pictures of Holly in these hats. I don't think that you could make this witch ugly. I have 12 months to talk Holly into being a witch for Halloween next year. Let's see if I win the quest!

Fire house fun.

For Holly's preschool we went on our first outing. We went to the fire department. As a mommy I had a lot of fun. I don't know if Holly understood, but they thought is was cool to see where the fire people slept and I was glad that the firemen dressed in their garb so the kids could see that it is not scary. Afterwards the mommy that organized it brought doughnuts for the fire people and the kids.

Total side note. I was looking for this place and there was construction going on. I past it three times before I asked a rent a cop if he knew where it was. He was like yeah turn around and it is pretty much right there. Duh!!

Happy Birthday, Don

We celebrated Don's birthday in our new house. We invited over some of our new friends to have cake and hang out. Don was very excited to get a new BBQ for his birthday. He also got some movies and a car buffer. (I know weird, but he wanted it and now I get to reap the rewards. A-ha-ha-ha!)

Walking Wonders

I have been walking with Elizabeth for a couple of months now. We walk in the park that way our kids can play afterwards. I am pretty proud we average 2 to 2 1/2 miles. One morning while we were walking I saw this and thought that the fog climbing across the lawn was beautiful. Of course the picture doesn't justice, but what are you going to do. By the way I love fall here.

I'm Back

Okay, so we finally moved in and we almost have everything unpacked. I think the last two boxes are mine for my craft area. Of course I leave my fun stuff until the very end. I am back to blogging. So here are a bunch of things that I am behind in. Enjoy.
