Halloween 2011
Nothing like a cold and rainy night for trick-or-treating (yuck). Here in Pennsylvania they have trick-or-treating the Thursday before Halloween (don't ask...must be a Pennsylvania thing). This year Gracie was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Jacob was Dracula. I noticed this year that Jake was not as enthusicastic about Halloween like has been in previous years. Maybe he thinks he is getting too old to go trick-or-treating (my baby is growing up fast). George took the kids around the neighborhood around 6:00 p.m. and by 7:00 p.m. the kids decided they had enough candy and ventured back to the house (I know my husband was not going to argue with that...it was freezing out). I only got about five trick-or-treaters that came to the house - I was disappointed...I really look forward to seeing all the kids in their costumes. I must say, Halloween was this year was nothing like previous years - very disappointing due to the weather but we made the best of it! 
They kids were very pleased with all there candy...and so was mommy (Weight Watchers here I come...AGAIN).

Nothing Like Having a Big Brother....
Georgie came home the weekend of October 8th (he had a four days off of school/work due to the holiday). Big G and Lil' G went to a friends 50th birthday party so I stayed behind and did a few things with Jake and Gracie - it's been a while since I did something with the kidos. So I took them to see The Smurf Movie (which was absolutely adorable) and we went to Highland Gardens and I let them pick out their pumpkins. On Sunday Lil' G ventured outside with Jake and Gracie to carve the pumpkins and I must say they did a great job. I doubt very much Lil' G will be carving any more pumpkins in the near future LOL. It was a great Sunday...why? The Steelers won! Lil' G took the kids bowling Sunday evening. Jake and Gracie love it when Georgie is home because he always makes sure to spend quality time with them!
My three babies - Jake, Georgie and Goofy Gracie!
Vickie's Angel Charity Walk (Breast Cancer) October 8, 2011
I participated in Vicke's Angel Charity Walk with my friend Kathy on Saturday, October 8th. we were on team "Kristie's Krusaders" who raised over $12,000. I learned that these funds go toward helping those with cancer pay their bills - anything from medical co-pays to car payments - mortgage payments...etc...how incredible is that? I must note that we had a beautiful day which is something we have not had in a long time here in Pennsylvania. The weather has just been miserable but we were fortunate to have a lovely fall morning which made participating in the walk quite pleasant

First Day of School
I finally got around to uploading some pics. Attached are pics of Jake and Gracie's first day of school. Jake is in 5th grade now and went from the elementary school to the middle school so this was a big change for him and I knew he was a little nervous. Gracie is now in second grade and seemed relatively happy that school was starting back up. When both kids came home from their first day of school they called me and told me they had an "awesome" day.
Jacob - 5th Grade (August 29, 2011)
