Happy Halloween Everybody!!!

Dan and Dawson played Halloween music while they read ScArY (not too scary) stories each night in the dark with a flash light and try to spook each other. They also decorated Dawson's room with all sort's of decorations. We have been roasting marshmallows with a candle and dressing warmer. We have done a lot of fun Halloween activities and we went to a football game last night in which our team won!! Happy Hallows eve to everyone!!

Happy Birthday to our friend

Me and Dan, we are team mates

I am so glad I have Dan by my side

Simplicity

Dan and I are doing major reorganizing our entire house!!! We have been redecorating, switching rooms around, our goal is to become more simplistic.

I have been reading a really awesome book

Simplicity Parenting by Kim John Payne and Lisa M. Ross

I love it! There are a few other's that I have been reading lately.  And organizing even more. I asked Dawson to put all the toys he wants to keep on his bed, and he did an AwEsOmE job! The rest we donated or.. we put in a storage bin for our future children. He still has many toys left, and super hero dress ups but it is to nice to organize all of his things.

 I usually enjoy organizing, but I have not gotten rid of a lot of stuff... I donate a lot but I have gotten down to the nitty gritty. And after reading the book I am pairing down even more. A week ago Dan and I had talked about getting and i pad or something, how nice would it be to organizing my grocery shopping, schedule and everything else.... but after reading this book I have decided to UN-PLUG!

Neither Dan or I have a Face book account and I have decided to text less and check email less. I rather see someone in person, or talk on the phone. In which we got a land line, using a cell as much as I have can not be good for my health.

Although we have our work cut out for us, it already has made things more relaxing, calm and peaceful.

It is generally during these challenging times that you will grow closer together as you learn to sacrifice and to make difficult decisions.”¹⁰
