Library Halloween Party

Yesterday we went to the Halloween story time & party at the Library. Annabelle had a great time. After the party we went to the park with some of Annabelle's friends.

The butterflies are migrating & the sky has been just full of them lately. Every color, size & variety of butterfly you can think of has flew past our house in the past couple days. It's really amazing watching them, when the wind blows a little bit more fly by. Our palm trees are blooming brilliant yellow blooms & the weather has been just fantastic. I can definitely see why people spend their winters here...

So here's the bad luck...Annabelle was sick Friday & Saturday, she's still getting over a nasty cough. Luckily it hasn't gotten any worse so we've avoided any doctors visits. Annabelle passed the sickness on to me so I've been feeling a little crummy lately but it seems like this is a "quick" sickness & only lasts a few days. Justin has been having problems with the new tires we purchased for his car, the tire shop can't seem to get them balanced, one tire wasn't totally round & they replaced it, we've had the car to the dealer etc. etc. and it is a chronic problem that is driving us all crazy. Plus, we realized last week that the tags on his car (Oklahoma tags) are expired so now we will have to have it inspected & tagged here asap...so we had plans to take Justin's car in to the dealer, once again, tomorrow & then on to inspection. Justin got up this morning to mow (yes, we mow year 'round here)...he pulled my car out of the garage and when he was ready to put my car back in the garage it refused to start. So, now we are down to our last vehicle, our little Ford truck, Justin installed the carseat today, it's a tight fit with all three of us in the cab, but we have to laugh about it, hopefully this week we'll be able to get our cars back. You never know how much you miss them until they don't work! I'm thinking about purchasing a bicycle with a child's trailer. Seriously.

More of Aunt Lisa's Visit

We painted pumpkins, baked & decorated cookies & had a good time! The weather has been really, really nice down here in South Texas so we were able to spend some time outside too! Annabelle was so sad when Aunt Lisa left, she cried. Thanks for coming to visit us Lisa, we can't wait to do it again!!
