    Down in the weight again!! Now up 24lbs for the pregnancy. :) I feel great too, and very full each day! Didn't think that was even possible during pregnancy lol.

    Is anyone dressing up with their kids? If so, what are you going as? We are!! :happy:

    I can't wait for Halloween, my 6 yr old daughter is going as Jessie from Toy Story 2, my 6 month old son is going as a football, my hubby is a football player, and I'm a witch, lol. Will post pics.

    Saturday hubby and I are going to go see Saw 3D, thanks to my mother in law for watching the kids!:happy:

    Nicole~That would be nice. I always hate doing it by myself this year I was thinking how nice it would be when my girls are old enough to help me out. :smile: I did have a little help with my last batch of salsa and the first part of the apples but when it came to the second part of the apples she "bombed" out on me. :sad: That was the worst one because it was boring tedious and really no one to talk to when I was doing it. However I did gett another 9 quarts of apples.

    Home~I hope that the job hunting goes better for you.

    Stacey~glad you enjoyed yourself.

    Barb~Yep we are dressing up with our kids. The hubby is going as Jack Skeleton (Nightmare Before Christmas), I am going as a witch :laugh:, ds1firefigher/vampire, dd1 Lil pink riding hood (pink because we have a pink cape), dd2 snow white, dd3 mouse, ds2 spider, ds3 dragon and ds4 as Jack's dog. This will be the first time in a few years that we have both dressed up with them. This is really the first year that I am going to painting my face in a long while. I don't really like to do that but this year it sounded fun. :tongue:

    Well I got to get ready for the night (here in Utah they don't do trick or treating on Sunday it's on Saturday). I hope you guys all have a safe and fun weekend.

    bluerose - I'm not dressing up as anything this year....my daughter's first b-day was a week and a half ago so I didn't feel up for trying to come up with and then create a costume for myself. :P

    Not a lot going on over here. Recovering from all my running, and helped out my bible study with a garage sale they put on. It was quite successful which was great, and had a lot of fun. They bought me lunch which turned out to be chipotle. I managed to keep myself to only half a burrito and saved the other half for dinner so I only went over in calories by a smidgen. I'm just proud of myself that I was able to eat only half, and that eating fast food has finally become a rare occurrence. I have every intention of enjoying myself tomorrow. :) No counting calories for the one day, just relaxing with my family. Not planning on going completely overboard, I am making pulled pork sandwiches instead of ordering out, and plan on having dinner before we trick or treat to prevent a desire to fill up on candy and chocolate instead. But if I want this to be a lifestyle change, then I give myself each holiday day to relax and enjoy food, and celebrate my success. :P

    My almost 3 year old is going as Cinderella and my 1 year old is going to be an angel. I'm super excited. I'm not dressing up this year, merely because my daughter's first birthday party was just a couple of weeks ago so I didn't feel up to assembling a costume for myself. Hoping next year a great creative wave will hit me. :)

    I hope you all have a fantastic Halloween with whatever you do, and stay safe!

    Happy Halloween, everyone!! Valmabel, I guess you need to recover from all that running! You go, girl! Your daughters costumes sound absolutely lovely!

    KatieM~love your new pic! I trust you had a good time last night?

    We had our trick or treating last night too (on the base, I think the city has it tonight, but I'm not taking the kids out again!). My 4 year old was a butterfly, and my almost 2 year old didn't get to go out, because she was being a STINKER. We had all gone to the Family Readiness Group Halloween Party earlier in the day though, and they had "trunk or treat" there, so she did get some candy. She dressed up as a Nebraska cheerleader! I kept trying to get her to say "Go Big Red!" but she wouldn't...I think we are already getting into the terrible 2's. God help us! :smile: BTW, I wound up going as the Queen of Hearts. I will NEVER set foot into a costume store on the 30th of October again. A fistfight nearly broke out! If I don't have a costume for next year, I'm just going to wear my old prom dress, put on some zombie makeup and go as an undead bridesmaid.

    I've got a busy day of cooking on my plate, if y'all will pardon the pun! I'm making an Oktoberfest meal tonight- schnitzel, spatzel, sauerkraut, cucumber salad, and for a special treat for the kids, homemade preztels. Hope everything turns out okay!

    Happy Halloween everyone!! Stay safe and have fun!!!!

    Happy Halloween!!

    Have a lot to do today. My son turns 1 next Saturday and we're having a small party (nothing big at all, just close family, since DH is gone).

    I took yesterday off at the gym and it was the first time in about 10 days and I felt super guilty. So I think I'm going today for twice as long as normal lol. I was able to make it through yesterday with only THREE pieces of Halloween candy, 270 calories total. Not the best, but really good for me.

    Happy Halloween!

    welcome Posh!

    Katie- I love your costumes in your new pic!!!!

    Val-I am not dressing up either...This is the first year I haven't been into Halloween for some reason!

    Home- Good luck with the dinner today! It sounds yummy!

    Barb- I am looking forward to seeing the pics!


    We took our kids a their 2 friends to a haunted house last night. That was so much fun! they let us go thru 2 times. the second time was scarier! I like being in the middle of the group. I don't like anything touching me, so i was being so silly, that if I happened to be pushed out in the front, I would drag one of the kids in the front of me. I did that to my daughter and she tried to high tail it backwards and my leg got wrapped around hers and went flying ot hte ground with my shoe! A safety guy was there and he was laughing at us saying, what are you doing on the floor!!!:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: It was hilarious! Good times!

    I hope you all enjoy your day.

    Thanks for having me girls!

    I wanted to share....

    I lost 4 pounds this week!! Woo hOOO!!

    That makes 9.5 pounds in the last 2 weeks. I'm so pumped.

    Thanks for letting me share..

    Did everyone have fun trick-or treating with your kids? Eli was soo cute. (he just turned 1.. Well..he will be 13 months tomorrow)
    He was a robot! SOoo cute! He even held his candy bag by himself when we went up to the door. We only went to about 5 houses. I know he can't eat much candy, but it was for pictures and mommy/daddy memories!
