The [boring] life of a SAHM

If you read my last post you know that we went trick or treating last night because Stillwater changed the day for it.

It didn't go too well. Before trick or treating we had to go pick up the OU dress I bought off Craigslist-so we had to find that ladies house. It was impossible to find. When we finally did find it we realized we had drove past the road it was on at least 3 times! So by the time we got to stillwater it was 8 pm. We were going trick or treating with my cousin, her husband and their one year old daughter, Kennie. They needed to buy hoodies so they spent like 30 minutes in JC Penny shopping while we sat outside in our car waiting for them. So they get out, its 8:30 and we start trick or treating. We get to the first house and they realize they forgot to bring a candy sack for Kennie. So we go ahead and go to the house and then have to drive to the store to get a bag for Kennie. So its 8:45, we've hit only a couple houses and we are having a hard time finding any with their lights on outside. (Probably because either 1. it was too late, or 2. not everyone reads the paper and saw that they changed Halloween.) So we got to go to MAYBE 10-15 houses.

So we were ALL in our car. Me, Josh, Lindsey, Justin, Kennie, Braxton and Addie. All of us were in our little 5 seater 4runner. Me & Lindsey up front, the 3 kids in the back and Josh and Justin in the very very back...where there are no seats! lol. Well anyways, since we weren't going far inbetween houses they decided not to strap Kennie into her carseat. Well, we got out to go up to a house. I was getting Addie out on one side, Lindsey was on the otherside trying to get Braxtons shoes on (he kept taking them off) when all of a sudden I hear a THUMP and squealing cries. I grab Addie and run over to the other side of the car where Lindsey is to see what happened. Since Kennie wasn't strapped in she fell out of the car!!! :( She hit the car and then hit the ground. They checked her head for bumps, scrapes, etc and she was fine. I think it mostly just scared her more than anything. Lindsey beat herself up about it all night though. So after that we were all pretty much ready to just call it a night. We stopped at McDonalds for a quick dinner and went home. The kids didn't get much candy at all...but the candy they did get is the good stuff :) Reeses, KitKats, Nerds, Laffy Taffy, 3Musketeers, etc. Not one piece of that cheap yucky halloween chocolate. LOL!

Anyways, we're going again Saturday so hopefully it will go a little smoother. I'll add some pics later! :)
