I wish I could have this much fun with Matt's socks! We celebrate Halloween year round.

Let it snow

Give Thanks!

Wow it has been a while! Not much excitement at the Rich household lately. I guess that is good. We had a great Thanksgiving with Matt's family. I have so much to be thankful for. I read about a guy who thinks of 10 things he is thankful for before he goes to bed. Here are my 10 for the day:

1. My hot husband! (so glad I am not reading his microeconomics book right now) He is the greatest daddy. He is great at giving compliments.
   
2. Ruby (she is asleep, not whistling and she was ready for school with out throwing a fit today) no seriously she is awesome. I love to watch her testimony grow. She is my little twin.
3. Cooper- I am thankful he didn't crack his head open when he fell off the stool today. I love that he is still wearing his Spiderman costume which is now further up his bum.
   
4. My house
5. My testimony, I know Heavenly Father is mindful of me and my little family. I love knowing that we can be together forever.
   
6. my bff's and their o. a. y. f.'s (once a year friend, you know, the husbands)
7. Fabulous parents
8. All the good examples in my life (there are so many!)
9. Healthy kids
10. Traditions

Ding Dong

The other day Coop was running in and out of the house in his Batman PJ's. The door bell rang and I assumed it was a neighbor. I opened the door to this picture. He had found the rest of the costume and put it on by himself. I couldn't stop laughing. Halloween never stops at the Rich house! I love that kid!

Mrs. Rich

Ruby's teacher asked me to sub for both am and pm kindergarten today. I can't believe I used to be a teacher. I am exhausted! I bet I tied 15 pairs of shoes today! Lets just say I love to be home with my kids! That is the nice way of saying there were a couple of kids I was ready to drop kick!

Halloween

I love Halloween. I think I like it more than my kids. Ruby woke up sick and throwing up, so unfortunatly she missed her first Halloween parade. I think she gets excited and makes herself sick. I have decided not to tell her Christmas is coming or she might SPEW! She stayed home and puked while I watched Cooper in the parade. Cooper was Spiderman with black cowboy boots. The costume is so small that I can't fasten it in the back and it rides up his spiderman underwear! I am a room mother in Ruby's class, so I helped with the party without her. She was fine when school was over. We had the funnest dinner at Grandma Retta's. She made clown salads, sea monster sandwiches, jack o lantern shakes, and Maccaroni and cheese and worms. She is fabulous! Then we went trunk or treating. I told my kids if they didn't say thanks I would get to eat the candy. They learned fast! Ruby went as a peacock princess and then changed into her favorite cat suit for trick or treating around the neighborhood. My kids were sick of trick or treating. They kept asking when we were going to go home. The day after, we graphed our goods.
