Halloween Time!

We had fun for Halloween! On the tuesday before Halloween we went to a Trunk or Treat at the church and played games and got some candy for the kids. They loved it. Then on Halloween we had not really planed it all that well. I had invited the missionarys over for dinner so they came at about 5 O'clock and left shortly after 6 O'clock. Then we got the kids in their costumes and went looking for a place to trick or treat at. The Bishops wife had asked me to bring the kids trick or treating at her house because they don't get any trick or treaters. There are only a few areas where people go trick or treating around here. Well that took us about 45min. to an hour to do because they live out there. So when we got back to town we weren't sure if we sould just go home or try some real trick or treating. It was getting kind of late. But we wanted the kids to know what it is realy like to trick or treat. So we went to where they block off the streets for trick or treaters to see if there were still anyone out. There were so we all got out of the car and did it for real. They kids were so cute saying "Trick or Treat!" It was like they couldn't beleive that they could just go up to someones door and say "Trick or Treat" and some complete stranger would just give you some candy. I think they enjoyed just walking around outside with our family too. After a little while there were alot more houses who had run out of candy and turned off their lites, so we decided to call it a night. The kids would not let go of their candy buckets while they were in the car so we let them have one inspected treat to tide them over until we got home. I think the kids enjoyed their Halloween this year. I hope all of you enjoyed your Halloween as well. Love you all very much.

Sarah , Joe, Alaina, Wesley and Kaylee Chapman.

Alaina our little Bat

Here we are following the crowd

I just wanted to post some pictures of my cute kids. I'm a little new to this so give me a break. Um... We are doing alright. We are having lots of fun with our Kaylee Rose. I know that we have told everyone this already but we like to call her squeakers because she likes to make squeaking noises while she is laying on the floor entertaining herself. She is a real joy for us. Wesley and Alaina just love her a lot. I have to keep telling Wesley to back off because he likes to put his face in hers and talk to her or just rub cheeks with her. Alaina is a good big sister. She is always trying to make sure Kaylee is comfortable. Covering her with a blanket, giving her dolls and toys to play with and giving her kisses so she knows that she is loved. Alaina also has been stealing Kaylee's clothes to dress her doll up in. The newborn cloths fit her doll. So now that Kaylee is outgrowing (sniff!) those clothes I have been giving them to Alaina for her doll.

Joe has started school again. He is taking an online class this semester. I'm not sure how well he is actually doing but if you were to listen to him talk about it he isn't doing very well. Personally I think he will get a good grade. On the side of that he has been getting a little bit of work. So we will be working on getting some of our debts paid off. Luckily I was able to get the hospital bills forgiven. I filled out an application and provided some information and the hospital covered the bills that was left over after the insurance paid their part. If any of that made sense to anyone.

I have been trying to get back into the swing of things since Kaylee was born and I think it is starting to work. I have just had to cut down on the Webkinz and make myself do things while Kaylee is sleeping, instead of sleeping myself. Kaylee still wakes up a couple of times a night for feedings but I think I am figuring out how to work things out. With Joe taking a class I have been thinking about working on my education as well. I need to go talk to a counselor and I did have an appointment but I had to cancel it because the kids got sick. I hate it when they get sick. So I still need to get to that counselor. But I was thinking about going into something like Accounting unless I can thing of anything else that I can do from home to help out with the bills. Well I think I will sign off for now. I hope you guys enjoy this and I hope I can remember to keep this up. We love you all! Sarah Chapman
