Okay...I'm back now...

Well, I meant to post a Halloween picture on Thursday after I returned from a business trip; however, I am just now finding time! I was so exhausted on Thursday and Friday, I just didn't have the energy to compose an entertaining post. I have finally recovered so here goes:

First of all, here is the promised Halloween photo:

We had a great time at the Pierson's Halloween party and the kiddos had their most successful trick-or-treating year ever! If only Marc and I could quit eating their candy!

As I previously mentioned, I was out of town Monday through Thursday last week. I returned home to a pretty clean house and three very happy children. I have to say, I'm very impressed with Marc's single parenting skills! This weekend I'm getting a chance to work on those skills myself - Marc is in Denver hanging with his buddy, Matt, and his brother, Sean. They are going to the Steelers/Broncos game tomorrow night - GO STEELERS!

Now that we are just a few weeks from Thanksgiving, I'm starting to plan for one of my most favorite days of the years....the day after Thanksgiving! Now, I'm really not that much of a shopper for myself, but I love buying for others and I have lots of great gift ideas this year! I've already been studying (yes, studying) the sale ads and making lists. Last year Katy and I went to Walmart at 5 am...we're not doing that again. Walmart is almost more than I can handle on a normal day - at 5 am the day after Thanksgiving it's just way too scary!

What have the McCauley kids been up to lately? Well, Megan is continuing to ace every spelling test and she is practicing for her Christmas program already. Oh, and she has another loose tooth! Kellan has been enjoying hunting with his daddy and grandpa and he is learning how to use our laptop. Mr. Jacksen is continuing to be our sweet...and sometimes not so sweet...littlest. It's hard to believe he will be three years old next month! Yikes...I guess I better start thinking about his birthday party!
