Happy Halloween!

I know I've been bad again but I'm going to get better I promise!!  I have some ideas I want to share so hopefully that will keep me on top of things!  It's been a busy few weeks.  We are really getting into the swing of school and Cammie seems to really like it.  She had her first field trip to a pumpkin patch and her favorite part was riding the bus!!  Joe and I celebrated our 12th anniversary this past week and we had dinner at Chiapperellis with Matt and Jenn to celebrate that and Joe and Matt's birthdays!  It was so yummy and so was dessert at Vaccaros afterwards.  Cammie is loving gymnastics still, or 'nastics as she called it.  She had an Uncle Gary day last week so that we could do some grown up shopping. She had lots of fun with him and he did as well.  She also really enjoyed our first snowfall yesterday.  She woke up shouting that it was snowing and that winter was finally here!!  It snowed all day and she loved going out and playing in the "winter"!!

Picture Day outfit!

Last Thursday Cammie had a great time at gymnastics and then since it was such a gorgeous day out we decided to go to Summers Farm Adventure in Frederick.  It is so much fun and they had a bunch of baby animals there that were so cute.  Cammie also liked getting a loud "hee honk" from the donkey.  She liked the slides and the mazes and of course the jumping pillow (pics on facebook).  Joe and I are in the process of mastering the budget and savings.  We've been watching Extreme couponing and trying to figure out a way to make it work for us.  Joe ended up working OT on Friday so Cammie and I ran some errands and then stopped by Station 3 to see him for a bit and then we went to Ms Sue's to get a hair cut.  Cammie walks in their house like she owns it and starts yelling for Bill!!  It was funny and since then she has been wanting to "do hair" which really just consists of brushing mine which actually feels pretty good.  She pretends to wash it and braid it too.  Saturday Joe had to work so I spent the day cleaning, Cammie uncleaned and then I re cleaned on a vicious cycle.  Leslie stopped by on Dreamer and Cammie loved that, especially when Les let her ride around the driveway a bit. 
Sunday, The O'Neills came over for dinner and that was lots of fun!!  It is so great to hang out with them and we did some planning for Disney!!  The trip will be here before we know it!  Monday I dropped Cammie off at school and then did an awesome stocking shopping trip at Food Lion, I got an overflowing cart of food for $137 and saved $85!!!  They did have a lot of great BOGOF deals but I was still impressed with myself! 
Tuesday was yellow day at school for Cammie and she wore her yellow Perry the Platypus shirt and took a toy school bus for show and tell.  However when we got to school after she had been excited to see her friends and right when the teacher was saying hi to her, she hid behind me and had the lip out and the face and the tears and was crying that she didn't want to go!  And she didn't want me to leave her there.  ACK!!  Mrs. Woodward is so nice though, she picked her up and got her to help get the play doh out and told me she would call me in ten minutes if she didn't calm down.  I waited 15 and got no call so when I went to pick her up she was fine.  The teacher said she was fine as soon as she got in the classroom.  She did inform me on the way home that I should not have left her while she was crying.  Soooo I'm not sure what that was all about.  She did get her flu mist on Monday after school and she didn't like that at all, said she would rather have the needle.  Next week is field trip to a pumpkin patch and she is going to be so excited to ride on a school bus!! 
The rains have come again and the past two days have been miserable.  Got a lot of cleaning/organizing done yesterday with a lot of help from Joe!  Today we went to 'nastics and Cammie did well, even swinging on the rope which she said she did not like.  At least she tried it!

Our Princess

The days just kind of whiz by!  We've been decorating for Halloween and fall already and Cammie loves it!!  She has changed her plan to be a pirate princess and now wants to be a funky princess.  So we are working on that.  Loving the cool weather and we just got a solar hot water system put in so hopefully that will save some $$ and take us off the grid a little.
