Alright - so here I am - starting a blog! My sister, Amanda, has been trying to get me to start a blog for a while, so I probably won't tell her for a while I have started one until I get this established. I am sure it will take me a while to figure things out as to how to post and put up pictures and stuff, but I'm sure it won't be bad. The main reason for my starting this blog is to begin journaling more for my kids. I worry I don't write enough down about their early life - I'm HORRIBLE about taking pictures and keeping baby books up to date and stuff, but I think maybe if I start blogging, then I can print these out to be part of their baby books and some day they will appreciate me 'giving in to the dark side' and creating a blog.
I figure my first post can be about Halloween this year. My kids were soooo cute! Obviously they were the cutest ones out there! My son, Joey, was a fireman. He won't stop talking about it! He especially loved the hatchet. Thank you to my sister for allowing me to borrow the costume! And my daugter, Savanna, was a cow! That was a hand-me-down from Joey's first Halloween in 2005. So this year I spent $0 on costumes! Priceless! And both were so cute. As always, Joey got WAY too much candy! He thought when we got home he would get to eat it all. In his words "I eat my candy all gone mommy?" Ha - try convincing a 3 year old that that's just not how it works! I did fairly well not eating much candy though - I had committed myself to not eat any at all - well - that didn't happen, but I did good to not eat too much!
At any rate, wish me luck at this whole blogging thing - I know my blog will be a LONG time in the making, but hopefully it won't be a total flop!
