Halloween Party & Trick o' Treating

This year I thought it would be fun to have a Halloween party with costumes and games. L to R: Tessa, Myla, Crystal, Avery, Anderson, James, Seth, Paige, Cade, Karlee, Lucas (in front) Kaylee and Abbey

I let them all invite a few friends but since it was just days before Halloween a lot of kids had a lot going on and came and went. 

 I loved the costumes. We had the princesses. Tessa, Karlee & Crystal

 We had animals: Lucas (turtle), Abbey (dog), and Karsyn (Hello kitty)

We had Ninja's: James, Avery, and Seth 

We had defenders of freedom: Cade (Bumblebee) & Andesron (soldier) 

and a Miscellaneous group: Paige (vampire), Myla Cyrus (Hannah Montana), and Kaylee (Asoka - Star Wars Clone Wars) 

and a big witch and a baby witch 

This was a cool games. We divided up in small groups and wrapped a mummy. First group to use all their toilet paper won - only thing - they had to work as a group. 

Paige & Karlee 

Logan, James & Karsyn 

Avery, Crystal and Karlee having a hard time getting it started. 

 Lucas, Cade and Tessa worked together really well.

 They totally had a system down.

Anderson, Myla & Seth deciding on a plan of action. 

James getting mummified. 

Paige is crusing. 

They had so much fun, lots of giggles going on. 

Cade mummified. 

 Karlee & Myla looking a little tied up.

The winner is - Paige & Karlee  

Karlee breaks free from her bands. 

 James a little concerned about breathing. Toughin up! Your a mummy for heck sakes!

Here they are making bones. We took stick pretzels and put a mini marshmallow on each end and rolled them in white chocolate. Karsyn, Avery & James loved this part. 

Our goodie bags were mini brooms. What a fun party. I didn't get pics of the other games. I was out numbered but thanks everyone for coming it was a BLAST!

 Here the kids are all dressed up for Saturday Night block party. James and Nick are on the left. Abbey, Paige, and Elle are in the middle with Josh & Zack on the right.

 They had such a blast. I didn't take any pics but it was a great night.

 Here we are Monday on our way to Grandma's house to Trick or Treat. Paige is trying to keep Abbey awake in the car.

Our little pirate was exhausted. 

Here were are sitting out to hand out candy. The candy basket was enormous. We had left overs for weeks that I ate. Annette wouldn't let Jason bring out the couch so we settled for camping chairs.

 Abbey & Paige

 No pic is complete without a James

Those are my crazy hyped up on sugar kids

our baby has "indoor plumbing"

The nice thing about my Thursday appointment was knowing the end was in sight. Sunday morning 5:30am I was scheduled to be induced. So we cleaned our house like mad on Saturday and my kids spent the night at their grandparents. We were up and ready to go. Paige drew me this picture before we left. Right to left: New baby, me, nightstand with cookies & candy (does my daughter know me or what?) When we got there - I needed some serious help to get ready to have the baby. I was dilated to a 2 and my cervix was really thick. So they gave me some internal gels that caused me to contract, I went through a series of 2, which means 5 hours of hell. It hurt & was a crappy 5 hours - but then my best friend came along, the anesthesiologist and gave me the epidural. Then they started the pitosum , which caused additional labor to set on... I couldn't care less. I felt wonderful (I love modern conveniences) - I love the goofy pictures of me & Jason just waiting around (don't we...

Sunday's child...

Image
Gavin or Abbey ? Barring any miracles... our new baby is scheduled to arrive on Sept 21st - not sure the approximate time. But this would make Buchanan Baby #3 a Sunday's child. I always liked the days of the week child poem and it will be interesting to see if it plays out with the personality of our new addition. Does it apply to the already established members of our family? Monday's child is fair of face. Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe. Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving. Saturday's child works hard for a living, But the child who is born on the Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe and good and gay. Paige Paige was born on July 9 th - she is a Tuesday's Child. Paige is full of grace . Grace means: a charming or attractive trait or characteristic. A pleasing appearance. Ease and suppleness of movement or bearing. Paige is charming and has possesses numerous wonderful traits. J...

a Christmas wish answered... come September

Image
So anyone who hasn't heard yet... yes. The Buchanan's are going to have a baby come this September. I'm not sure how it happened (yeah. I get the mechanics... I do have 2 kids) - But it's just that Jason & I don't really see too much of each other and after an exausting day of work, school, being on call, preschool, doing homework, research for thesis, paying bills, sewing group, YW, and kids, all you really have energy for is sleep. So I really think I give credit to Paige for this one. She has put in countless hours praying, wishing, and begging for a baby for the longest time. All her hard work millions of wishes on stars and countless letters to Santa apparently paid off. (She's got a lot of clout with the bearded fella - so if you want something for next year you might want to bribe her early to include it in her letter(s)). That's it... I'm eight weeks and thrilled. We'll keep praying that everything goes smoothly & the baby is heal...
