Words to live by...

From the fullness of His grace we have received one blessing after
another

Remember who you are and you will walk through life blessed and beautiful

When you reach the heart of life you shall find beauty in all things

Children are a gift from God

Never underestimate the power of prayer

"Don't eat it all mommy!"

That was Reece's FIRST FIVE-WORD (technically six because of the contraction in there) SENTENCE!!! This was said after coming home from our final trick-or-treating excursion of the day - Reece looked up at the GINORMOUS mound of candy on the counter. We had a busy day................first Whitney was the helper mom in Lucas' preschool class http://blogs.oaisd.org/resserver.php?blogId=371&resource=P1010272.JPG during the morning while Jackson and Reece played with Grandma Meyers. After picking up the little boys we headed home for lunch and naps. We headed back up to Tim's work to collect candy for an hour. Did I mention Reece HATES masks??? We grabbed a pizza and rushed home to be greeted by trick-or-treaters at our porch! So, skip the "healthy" dinner boys and eat some candy on the street :) Papa Gator and Tim took the oldest two out to gather more treats in our neighborhood. We piled all back into the minivan to show off costumes to Grandpa and Grandma Meyers before they headed off to dance lessons for the evening. We even made it to Grandma Holden's house (which Praise the Lord is 2 seconds from G & G Meyers!). It was an insane night, but lots of fun!!! It was a bit slower passing out candy as the weather could have cooperated better, but the kiddos had a ball. It's nice to hear the sound of the exhaust fans at the days end (it puts them all to sleep - by the way: we're on our 3rd exhaust fan in the master bath! - maybe static on the radio is cheaper??). Hope you all enjoyed your Halloween however you celebrated (or did not celebrate - sorry erin!). Thanks to Missy on the costume for our tank of a child - it was a hit!
