So..it's been awhile:)
Just took a little break from setting up for my Avon Christmas Open House..thought I would pop a Lean Cuisine in the microwave (then follow it up with Hostess Ding Dongs) Ha Ha. Trae is at a football game..so Rich & Izzy are on their way to the game now. Mattie and I are listening to Christmas music!
No pics to post this year from Halloween..
a few weeks ago Izabelle asked me "What does Halloween mean mamma?" I said "I am not sure exactly, let's Google it and see." So we did..and we studied it for about an hour..we learned about the jack-o-lantern, why we give candy, etc. etc. I believe she was feeling conviction about it..she acted like "Why do we do this then, mamma?" I told her that we didn't have to participate in Halloween..there are lots of things to do! Our Trunk-or-Treat at church was last Sunday night..but she was visting with her father..then Wednesday/Halloween she was visting again..so she just felt like she needed to blend with what goes on over there. Her dad bought her a costume after he picked her up and she went trick-or-treating with him. We never carved a pumpkin this year..because of what we read..I wasn't even going to pass out candy this year..then I changed my mind at the last minute and ran to Kroger for loot. We did not purchase a costume for Mattie either. I am for sure that we will completely phase out trick-or-treating and participate in the annual Fall Festival at our church.
I got to go to Atlanta this week for an Avon Career Seminar..it was great:) There were 10 reps. that attended from our district..I roomed with 2 other reps. and we stayed up until 4am! Having tooooo much fun:) What a nice break that was for me..even though I didn't sleep.
Mattie is trying to form sentences..sort of. She says "shut door." She still loves to shut doors:)
Trae's last band competition was last Saturday in Chattanooga..everyone put your hands together! MJHS Band placed FIRST in everything in their division!! I still get tears in my eyes when I think about it..I am just so proud of them! They rock!
Next Friday will be the *very last* football game played on the MJHS field. That is where I graduated high school..I get a little emotional when I think about it. My sweet MIL is going to try to watch Mattie for me. So Rich & I might attend the last game there together. I really want to get some pictures.
Izabelle still rolls around with those heelie things..EVERYWHERE! She has so much energy:)
I have been selling Avon now for 7 months..currently I have 77 customers, 6 Reps. underneath me and 2 helpers! Go me:)
So..that's all I got for now..have a great weekend:)

Hello Jilly,
Glad you had a good time on your Avon excursion. Sometimes it
does a mommy good to just have a
little get-away and be with the
big girls for awhile-Hee!!! I am so
proud of Trae and the band. Wish I
could hear him and the band playing!! Is this Mt. Juliet's last football game for the season
or for the last time ever? I got
a little confused about that. Uncle
Ernie's birthday is this Wednesday
and I just don't know what to get him. He already has plenty of tools
and clothes! 2 nights ago some kids
came thru the neighborhood when everyone was asleep and destroyed
quite a lot of mailboxes with base-
ball bats and of course we were
included! Kyle put a new one up yesterday. I made a police report
and so did the other neighbors but
the chances are slim that they will catch anyone. This is the first time we have had this happen,but glad it was not anything worse. Did the Mattie
outfits fit OK? Gotta go-am planning on hitting WEX this morning to check out the bargains.
There goes my budget-Hee!!!!
Aunty Cher Bear
I was wondering where you were!
Page's fall festival at school is the same time as your open house! I will try to fit in both, but depends on her energy level with her cold. (or mine from dealing with her!)
Good luck with it!
