Elders Quorum Halloween Party

On Saturday night, we had our Elders Quorum Halloween party. It was a lot of fun! We played lots of games and had yummy refreshments. They had a little nursery for all of the kids, and it was SO nice to have a night out with my hubby!!!

Here we are: a couple of nerds...



Seriously SO sad!!

I think I have officially reached my lowest point! My house is messier than it has EVER been, and I have had absolutely no motivation (or more-so energy) to clean it. I have been embarrassed so many times from people coming over and witnessing my mess, but still haven't gotten it cleaned. Well, today Molly and John came by for a surprise visit on their way through town!!!! How exciting! I was so glad, and felt so lucky that they did, and yet the whole time I was completely humiliated by my own stupidity!!! Though we had a really good visit, and it was SO good seeing them, I couldn't stop thinking about my mess. I couldn't even let Molly use the bathroom because just a little bit earlier one of my kids threw melon rinds down the toilet and clogged it. This is officially my wake-up call. I will no longer be humiliated.... I need to come up with a plan and a schedule and hopefully my kids will help me. I hope that I can find the thing that fits me best, and if anyone has any suggestions, please throw them my way! :) I am SO sorry Molly and John, and I promise that if you are ever brave enough to come to my house again, it will be clean!! I love you guys, and thank you so much for coming! :) And to anyone else that might be brave enough: please wait at least a week.....haha! :)

p.s. I was going to post pictures of what it looks like, so I could do after pictures and you could all be impressed, but I have to think about that first.... maybe when I get it clean. I just thought if I "report" to my blog every now and then about my progress, maybe I can keep up the good work!

October already?!

Okay, so I can't believe it's already October. Let alone, the 17th of October! Halloween will be here before we know it, and that means the year is pretty much over! It's going by WAY too fast for me! Halloween is not my favorite holiday. I am not fond of going door to door and asking for candy... and every bite of candy my kids take makes me sicker.... lol! But I am SO excited for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I DO love this time of year! A time for families to be together and to feel the spirit of the season, and I am excited for that! :)
