Halloween Fun

We always dress up as a book character on Halloween at school. This year I was... Splat the Cat! It was purr-fect! I always dread dressing up. But after I do, I always enjoy it and have a good time with the students. The kids love to see the grown ups in costume! Since I was dressed up, Katona and I went trick-or-treating! We got to go to my good friend, Sheila's home. She and her husband have a big Halloween party and haunted house every year. I had never been. I had the best time!! I hadn't screamed or laughed that much in ages!!

Haddix is here!

There is a new addition to the Havens' family, Haddix Jasper Havens. Haddix is a red and white piebald, miniature dachshund. He was born July 28th, so he is now twelve weeks old. We have already fell in love with him in one day. He is definitely going to bring more life in the household. Heidi is already playing with him. They will be a cute couple some day!

Fall Break 2013

Fall Break was wonderful! We stayed home and enjoyed our days spent in a slower pace. I took Lucas, P.J., Zack, and mom to the Nashville Zoo on Monday. It was perfect weather! We had a great day. We went to Jackson's Orchard one day. P.J., Zack, and Lynette went with us. We had a picnic. Another day, we had a weenie roast and hayride. The Leach family came over for that. Sweet family! Annie and Natalie came too. It was so nice to sat around the campfire and visit.

Mammoth Cave

In September, we took Lucas and his best friends, P.J. and Zack Costello to Mammoth Cave. It was a beautiful day! We took a cave tour, had a picnic in the park, and walked a trail. So glad we went when we did. The government shut down the national parks the next week and we couldn't have went during Fall Break.

Father's Day 2013

The boys and I gave Pete a homemade book for Father's Day and took him to Ryan's to eat. Then we went to Gander Mtn. and the Mall. Everyone was in a good humor which was nice. Pete and I went four wheel riding that evening.
