Haloween with Grandma

Halloween

I am so excited for Halloween this year! I have decorated my house and it looks so cool! I usually don't get to it till the night of Halloween, but this year it will be up for two whole weeks ahead of time! Zack is pretty excited too. We went to shop for a costume and he is done with the cute costumes. He is going to be the grime reaper. I didn't want to let him(I think it is to scarry for this age),but I wanted him to really like what ever he picked. He has been asking about Haunted Houses for about a month now and has been begging for us to take him. Last week we happend to come across the Carnival of Fear(where the old petsmart is on 5400s and Redwood was) and they had the Disney radio van there. So I figure that it is probably kid friendly. We took him there last night and never made it inside. I wanted to make sure that he was really ready. We sat in the car for a few min to see how he reacted and he said he will try next year. He was afraid that the people inside would touch him.(even though we had asured him they wouldn't)I have to say it was pretty funny seeing him scared. I tried not to laugh. So when we got home Brad was flipping through the channels and found some old scary movies to show Zack. BAD IDEA! I had to make him change the channels a few times. Brad and his dad use to always watch scary movies when he was Zacks age. Zack is not ready for that though. Needless to say Brad got to sleep with Zack last night.(that's what he gets for scaring my boy!)

At work our theme is MOCK HOLLYWOOD. I can't decide if I want to be Kristy Aley and have a slimfast in one hand and a cheesecake in the other, dressed in long black baggy dress,
or Evelyn from The Island and the Gauntlet(on MTV). She is always the toughest and every one is scared of her cause "She will take you out of the GAME!" she always has her hair in a high pony tail on top of her head, black vizer, tank top, shorts, and tennies. Oh and all the makup she wears is one thick line of eyeliner just on the top lid. Some of the other people are going to be Jessica Simpson,Katie Holmes,Martha Stewart,Larry the cable guy,Angelina Jo Lee. It should be a good time.

As for daily life every one is good. Zack is doing well in school he is a little cheater with reading(he looks at the pick and guesses the word) and needs a little extra attention with that subject. He also is like his mom and wants to talk in class. Even if he is not talking, he will just stop and watch other kids work. I once again think this is due to being an only child and just soaking up other kids company. One day maybe we can have another. I have looked into addoption latley but It costs any where from $10k to $30k. I found out that with LDS family services Brad and I have to be sealed in the temple and current on tithing for two years. So even if we caught up and went to the temple tommorrow it would be two years just to be eligable. Then it ususally takes 1-4 years to get a child placed. SUCKS! They were the cheapest too. Oh well I don't want us to feel like we did the right thing just to get a child, we should be doing that stuff any ways.

So that is about it. Oh with my weight loss I am at 30lbs! YEAH! I have been a bad girl this last week so I just maintained. At least I didn't gain any back. But I am focused again so the number on the scale should get smaller. Love you all and welcome new friends that have asked for this blog. I am excited to see yours! PEACE!
