SNOW!!!!!

Today was supposed to be a super busy day.  To begin with Justin and I were going to run a 5K for Feed the Need (connecticut food bank), then after cleaning the house Joseph's friends were going to come over to finish making a paper mache bugs bunny head for the scarecrow they are making for school.  Then the boys were supposed to have a soccer game at 4:00 and then the trunk or treat at the church at 6:00. 

Well, we made it to the 5k, and it was FREEZING!!!  But, we ran hard and had a nice time.  We got t shirts and free bread. yum!  Then when we got back we cleaned a little and the boys came over to finish the bugs bunny head.  It turned out awesome and then it started snowing, not just a little, it was really downpouring.  The kids of course had to run out and go sledding.  It was amazing that in just an hour there was enough snow to go sledding.  The kids had a great time, but that's when the whole day started to change.  Because of the snow the soccer game was cancelled and sadly so was the trunk or treat.  The roads were pretty slick and power outtages were forcast, so it turned into a nice slow afternoon.  We ate the chili and cornbread I was bringing to the chili cookoff and opened a bag of candy and watched a nice family flick.  I was able to finish a halloween table runner that I didn't think I would get done before Halloween (YAY!)  The kids were sad to miss the trunk or treat, but at least they get to go trick or treating this year!  Plus, I'm super excited I got my Halloween table runner done.  I've been feeling crafty as of late, and it's nice that I was actually able to finish a few things. 

So October is also big item pick up day which has been really profitable for me.  It's been exciting becasue we were able to get a beautiful oak entertainment center for the basement, a desk for Samantha's room, and several old windows that I'm going to make into wall hangings for our house.  I'm super excited for that project.  I'm almost done painting Sam's desk so we can put it in her room.  We finally moved all of the toys to the basement and her room is kind of looking a little more grown up.  I love it and can't wait to get the desk in.  I'm also refinishing one of the windows and putting cork in one of the sides to make it ino bulletin board for her.  I'm so excited.
