November in CO!

There are many things I love to do...but visiting my family in Colorado ranks as my number 1! I hate that I know longer live there, and there are days I dream of moving back just to be near all the ones I love! The kids, my mom, and I headed out a few weeks ago to surprise Mark for his 16th birthday! I love surprising Eryn and Mark! :-) It was a very relaxing week with no big plans...just visiting and hanging out! We were able to have lunch and visit my Aunt Shelly, enjoy celebrating Mark's birthday and my Grandma's 70th birthday, and I took Mark for his driving test!(I was mistaken as his mom...that made me feel OLD!)

WARNING: picture and caption overload!

Halloween Carnival

Greg's school had a Halloween Carnival on Tuesday! It was so much fun to dress the kiddos up and to spend the day at Greg's school with his little class! I also know why God never called me to be a preschool teacher...I was spent when we left at noon! 
My super cute pirates! 
This was Greg's artwork hanging up in the classroom! Adorable, I know!

Trick-or-Treating...around the parish offices!
