The Day Before Halloween

It's the day before Halloween, I am just sitting here thinking that I need to go get my costume today. I was kind of layed up yesterday, didn't feel well so I put everything off until today.
I also need to find a new book since I finished "Marley & Me" on Sunday night.
I know! Off to the Goodwill to look for November's booklist and a Halloween outfit.

Halloween Costume

My grandson, Ethan visited with me last Saturday. We had the best time, we colored, baked cookies, watched Sponge Bob, walked the dogs and had a great dinner. After dinner, I drove him home, as I was driving I asked him if he had his Halloween costume. He said yes, he was going to be the "Blue Power Ranger". Then he asked me if I had my costume. I said no, what should I be for Halloween? He thought about it for a long time, then he said "Princess", Grandma, you should be a Princess. So I will be out looking for my "Princess" costume next week. Oh, he told me he was sure I could find a great costume at Target.

My October Reading List...

I have been busy reading some great books this month. I would certainly recommend them to everyone. The first one I read was "The Secret Life of Bees" by Sue Monk Kidd. I actually read it over a year ago but when I heard it was coming onto the big screen this month I decided to read it again. It really puts life into perspective.

Right now I am reading "Marley & Me". Being a dog lover myself, I am finding that Marley is alot like my dog "Bear". This is a fun, fast paced book about life.

The Wedding

Yesterday was a whirlwind. My niece, Lisha got married. Jeff and I went early and helped to set up the wedding. The wedding was beautiful. Lisha looked like a Princess. Her brother Aaron was the Minister.
Lisha's other brother Chris was in the wedding party and looked absolutely handsome.
My sister Faith, the Mother of the Bride looked gorgeous and was so happy!
The Father of the Bride, Jeff, was so proud and happy.
Of course there were happy Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, cousins and lots of friends there for the very special day. What a great day!!

I'm going to be a Grandma again!

Great news! Stephen called this morning. He and Jen are going to the Dr.
tomorrow for their sonogram.
I can’t wait to find out if they will have a boy or girl, personally I am rooting for a little granddaughter, but I am really not picky, just a healthy baby will be what I want.

UPDATE: The baby is a Boy!!! Due March 16.
