After Halloween Specials

Happy Halloween
Well, we started the evening off a little confused about this whole Halloween thing, but we ended it with 2 happy girls with bags of candy. Wilmore does community trick-or-treating downtown. They close off Main St. to traffic and the business owners sit outside and hand out candy. On the way to downtown, Chloe said, "I have no candy in my bag." Mommy had to explain that the people would give us candy. To this Essie asked "we go get candy and then come home?" Yep, that pretty much sums up the Halloween experience for us. Our girls were the hit of the town with their Carebear costumes and they got excited to see lots of princesses and Tinkerbells along with a Buzz and a Woody. We spent all week explaining to them that some people might look scary, but it was just a person with a mask on. The girls did great and everytime we saw a scary costume, one of them would say, "it's ok, I not scared."



Just a quiet Saturday at home
Today has been just a quiet Saturday at home. Ababa's been hard at work writing the Christmas program for our Church as well as preparing songs that he will sing at his parent's church tomorrow. Mommy bathed the dog, scrubbed down the bathroom and has been washing load upon load of laundry. The most exciting part of the day for mommy so far has been running the first load in her new dishwasher. That's right, the new dishwasher is here! Yeah! The girls have been entertaining themselves very well today while they wait for the highlight of their day-going trick-or-treating. Just wait til you see their costumes!

Blue/White Game
Last night we went to the UK Blue/White game at Rupp Arena, along with over 14,000 fans. The girls actually paid attention to the game for about 30 minutes and then occupied themselves by dancing and making funny faces the rest of the time. Essie was her normal affirmative self by clapping throughout the entire first half everytime someone made a basket. The girls were disappointed that the dancing girls (cheerleaders) weren't there but they thoroughly enjoyed the band. Fun was had by all.

The gift of hospitality
New toothbrushes!
In honor of our new faucet, we decided to break out some new toothbrushes that Meemaw had bought the girls. The new brushes are the motorized kind, something very new to the girls. First they said, "like Meemaw's!" Then they said, "It tickles." It has encouraged more brushing though. Thanks, Meemaw for the fun toothbrushes that tickle.

When it rains, it pours
My mom always said this when either the bills were piling up or things were breaking down around the house. Well for us, its been the latter, which of course causes stress in the first category. Our dishwasher has been broken for over a week now. After waiting on our home warranty company for almost a week, we went to our local home improvement store last week to order a new one, just to find out they didn't have the model we wanted in stock so it had to be ordered. We are praying it comes in tomorrow and then hope to have it installed by the end of the week. While at the store, we decided to replace the faucet in our upstairs bathroom that has been leaking for a couple of months now. The leaking has slowly gotten worse and our water bill had slowly been growing as well, so we decided it was the time to replace it. What we'd thought would be an easy replacement, of course was more complicated than we thought it would be, but Matt persevered and we now have a lovely new faucet.
