thx for the prayers - keep em coming!
still no definite decisions have been made - curtis is trudging along in the meantime
he is supposed to talk to one of the "big wigs" today - so i'm hoping something positive comes from that!
and he's had several jobs call him back from when he was looking...so, he's going to follow-up with some of them - put his feelers out

only 2 more days till halloween!
that is, according to my daily reminder from jaden! ~lol~ that's the very first thing he announces after coming downstairs in the morning! :0)
that boy is gonna bust a seam on halloween morning...too bad they can't wear costumes to school! he'll get to participate in his after-school daycare's party tho
the kiddos have finally decided on their costumes....jaden is going to be a grim reaper again - after spotting the costume with the glowing eyes in walmart back in september, and me insisting we use the same costume from last year (that doesn't have glowing eyes) and jaden finally agreeing - would u believe i can't find last year's costumes?! i know, i know - but we moved & things got stuck in storage without me looking through it first (sorting the storage unit is on my to-do list before we get snow - i better hurry up!)...so i suspect it's in there...then, of course when we go back to walmart to get the glowing eyes costume, it's no longer there!
so with nana's help - we're sewing some black netting into a new cape/hood that we bought (having no face is BIG on jaden's list of priorities for this costume)....and i'm going to somehow fashion some glow stick rings/pegs/something inside the mask, so that there's some glowing going on - we'll see how it works out
gabby is going as Hannah Montana - seeing her in that blonde wig is too weird!
this is another costume that we're "making"....the Hannah Montana costume was $35! can u believe that?! so we bought some funky Hannah Montana clothes (that she can wear again later) & big earrings, the wig, i'll put make-up & glitter on her (which is sooo exciting for my girls!) - she'll b so cute!
corinn is going to b a fairy....she found a pretty little white skirt with fiber optic lights in it....we'll pair that with one of her shiny ballet leotards & some pretty wings we picked up....she'll get make-up & glitter too....so precious!
we'll be trick-or-treating friday night in my hometown....we'll also b heading to natural chimneys' campground for trick-or-treating on saturday....all the campers decorate their sites for halloween & the kids go round for candy...darlene (my co-worker) & her husband camp there on halloween weekend every year....i've been trying to talk curtis into tent camping with the kids at our usual campground (they do the same themed weekend), but i think he's right - it's going to b pretty darn cold

shoot, already is cold! it was too weird coming back from florida to this weather!
brrrrrrrr!

Barack Obama was in town yesterday....he spoke at JMU last night....i would like to have attended - our little town, making history! but people started camping out the night before & i heard they had to turn lots away....plus, i had my normal life to attend too (darn responsibilities! ~lol~) they closed off a bunch of streets in town - corinn's dance class canceled due to the traffic & we had a heck of a time getting home after jiu-jitsu...but how cool is it that he picked Harrisonburg of all places?!

i'm anxious to get home and have dinner tonight - got a roast in the crock pot & my hands smell of onions....my belly is growling just thinking about sitting down to that warm roast, cooked with potatoes & carrots on this cold day! :0)

I saw on the news this morning that you guys are in a deep freeze! It's crazy that we're in sweatshirts and you guys in snow suits!
Job issues are so stressful! I'm sorry hon... I know it'll work out...it's just the living until then that gives us migranes!
((((hugs)))))))

Mmmm...never got to eat dinner tonight, so that sounds good. Can't wait to see pics of the kids costumes!
Wow, I didn't realize that Barack was speaking so close to home in Virginia this week!
