Kelsey's Sixth Birthday party.

This weekend we celebrated Kelsey birthday with friends from school, brownies and family friends. What was suppose to save us money and be simple and fun, turned into a expensive 28 kids running around pizza eating spectacular. I hope everyone had a really great time. We were so happy to have our friends and Kelsey's friends join us. She enjoyed at the wonderful gifts. the party was great we started off with a scavenger hunt around our neighborhood and then bobed for apples, all of the kids actually at the apples! So great. then to the pizza and screaming and playing in the backyard. It was a great night.

Halloween at the Campbell's

We this was the first official halloween where Shelby fully participated and understood, what would happen if you rang a door bell and said Trick or Treat. Someone give you a hand full of candy, and then if you say Happy Halloween in a cute sweet voice you get more candy. Lucky us.

We started the day with a fun parade at Kelsey's school then a class party. The Stone's came over for a little pre trick or treat fun. The kids had fun in their costumes together. The Papa (steve) came over to help with trick or treating. Shelby finally decided to wear her hair. It only took a little bribe. She wasn't going to be able to trick or treat unless she wore the hair. Those costumes are expensive!

We only went to 5-6 houses and we were back in 20 min! I believe I have set a record. We spent the rest of the evening handing out candy, and enjoying all the costumes or the neighborhood kids - and some i have never seen before. But it was a great Kelsey really got into it and was such a good sport, even if her Daddy left with the car to work that held her Cheetah tail and we lost her ears. She could not have been such a good sport. I am really proud of her.

Halloween...

For Halloween this year, Stephen and I dressed up and went to a party at the Martino's. It was fun and crazy. Stephen dressed up at a 70's disco king with leather jacket and gold chain. I was a sweet innocent farmer girl with way to much make up. I decided along time ago that comfort is so much more important than anything. So shoe less and comfy is the way I go.

Kelsey and Shelby spent the night at Deb and Steve's having a great time. The next day we all went home. I was a fun night for the whole family. I would post pictures, but they are a little to crazy. Hope your Halloween is fun and frightful.

This year we have decided that the kids can turn in their candy for money in their piggy bank. The can pick out 10 pieces and then the rest goes to the garbage or donations. Would love to hear your ideas on what you are doing with your 'not so healthy Halloween treats'.

Mommy Got a New Job!!!!

Some of you know that I have been extremely obsessive over the new scrapbook store in Rocklin, well they were looking for a Receiving Manager, so I applied and got the job. Ooh Hoo! I am so excited and looking forward to having my creative juices boosted. I have been in a hugh slump lately so I am hoping this will kick it into gear.

It is however a little crazy at the Campbell house. Stephen has had to step up just a little more with childcare and being at home, which I know he loves! Those girls adore him. And I had to put school on hold AGAIN. But we are excited about the new change and believe it or not I am actually more organized and I get more done. Hmmm. Wonder how that happened.

By the way I bought that new book by Jessica Seinfeld. Interesting. I will let you know who the food turns out. I love the concept, I just wonder how much of it they will eat. I am having my Brownie Troop taste test the food in the next couple of weeks. Last night I made spaghetti sauce with pureed spinach. I thought is was fabulous.

Bishop Pumpkin Patch

The annual Kindergarten trip to the pumpkin patch was so much fun. Not only did the girls and Kelsey's classmates have a great time but so did Stephen. As you can see by the pictures, he was so into it. Shelby not so much I think she was really tired, but hung in there. All four of us came home with great pumpkins just big enough to hold. Check out the pictures. I am really glad that Stephen was able to make it this year.

When Mommy is away...all the children play

While, I ran errands and prepared for my interview with the Green Tangerine, Stephen was in charge of the girls. Well, I never have to worry about what they will be involved with. This time the girls and Stephen made homemade fishing poles and fished in the pool. I really think that Stephen secretly wishes that we could fill the pool of fish in the fall and winter. Here is a picture of the finished products, they had hours of fun. No fish were caught though.
