Its over......or has it just begun?????

We had a great Halloween! I had to take most of the pics on a disposable camera, so who knows when I'll use all the pics up and get them posted. I need a new camera...WAAAAAAA!!!!! Hopefully before too long. The kids looked SO CUTE!! I looked pretty cute too, I must say. I went as a cat, it was fun. Big hair, cat eye makeup,the kids loved me dressnig up. We went to the coolest haunted house that some friends from church do, it was great. The kids were really scared! I did have some candy, but I didn't go crazy, just a couple pieces.

And now that that is over...its THAT time of year. Most people do spring cleaning, I do fall cleaning. Its now tme to overhaul the house and yard. I hate it, but I love it when its done, so it is worth the work. I am going to start working out at our friends motocross track more regularly to earn Christmas money. Mark already works there on race weekends doing a "cruise around on the 4 wheeler and help out with whatever" kind of job, I will be doing some vending. I've done snow cones before, but this weekend I am gonna do glow necklaces, cotton candy in bags, and red ropes. I hope I can get everything together before friday. I'm going out there friday night and saturday. Which leaves a babysitting issue that makes me nervous but I'll figure it out. Mark is actually doing a scorpion prevention job friday morning as well, which altogether we could between the 2 of us clear $1,000 for the weekend! Not too shabby, and totally worth the headache! I'm gonna get a little religions here and tell you that this is a huge answer to prayer. When Mark started the academy we knew we'd need to make lots of side money to get us through the end of the year, and we have been very blessed with opportunities to work. We also donate 10% of all of our earnings to the church, and it seems like the better we are at doing that, the more blessed we are. Things really seem to work out for us. It is certainly not easy, I'll tell ya, we have so much going on, to add extra jobs to that is tough, but we have been able to make it work. Mark is spread really thin, but is doing well anyway. In fact, he is doing EXTREMELY well at the academy, which I feel is another huge blessing. He is excelling socially and academicaly, which as you could guess, they are equally important in a "boys club" type of environment like police work.

ANYway, We are gonna work extra super hard, and hopefully get christmas done early and then be able to enjoy the season. Its not going to be anything huge and fancy, I'd just be happy with less stress.

So with that said.......Let the cleaning overhaul begin!!!!!! Its time to make a spreadsheet!!!!!!!!
