I have a blog. There was a time that I loved to update often, almost daily.
Then came baby 3 and all of life turned topsy-turvy. So in hopes that I don't loose all my loyal friends, I need to review the month of October. It was a big one...birthday, birthday, Halloween, and more birthday.
But I must warn you...
Unless you are family, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. It's all pictures, albeit cute ones but may be as boring as Uncle Frank's slideshow of his trip to Tennessee. If you are a relative, sorry. There is no getting out of this one.
Just pull up a chair and sit awhile.
Do you remember the purple hands? This is why. Our little Loulabelle turned 5 and she desperately wanted a bowling party. I said tea party, she said bowling. Tea? No, mom. Bowling!! To put a spin on it, we did a 70s Groovy Bowling Party.
Our Lou. What a firecracker she is. From day one, she has had a spunk about her that we adore. She kept us on our toes in the early days. I had never heard so much crying, crying and more crying. So much crying! Nowadays, the crying has been replaced with laughter and silliness.
My kids. I love them and am so proud that I get to be their GROOOOVY mom. Whether they think so, or not!
My lollipop girl!
What is better than a blue Slug Bug? A blue Slug Bug made out of chocolate!!
The bowling was fun. I loved watching all the little ones bounce their ball down the lane. They were so cute!
The Tie-Dyed cuties!
The next day was Preschool Helper day and we celebrated some more! This time we had KK donuts. They were yummy. One little boy in her class kept saying, "This is the best bagel I have ever eaten!"
The one thing she wanted for her birthday was an American Girl doll. She named her Hannah. It stood to reason that Hannah needed to celebrate her birthday, too!
Happy Halloween, Great Pumpkin! This in one pumpkin I could eat up!
Little stroller action! Look out, next year!
Padme and the Clone Trooper had to join us. I wonder if there are any Reese's in that bag? 
That about sums up the night for him. No candy, no walking, no tricks. Just fingers.
Happy Birthday to ME!! Good friends joined me in celebrating at the local BBQ joint. Good friends, greasy burger, ranch dressing and funny stories. HEAVEN!
And a surprise Banana Foster, to boot. I have never had one of these treats. IT WAS AWESOME!
Spoiled me rotten!
Photo bomb!
These girls are amazing. I love each and every one of them. They are all so special to me, my husband and my kids. I love this town!
If only I would have known to stop smiling!
The most exciting part of the night was a late showing of High School Musical 3. You can tell who my REAL friends are in this picture. Surprising that the whole group didn't want to go!! It wasn't ONE BIT CORNY! I had tears and I will defend that to the death!So, yada, yada, yada this is October. Actually just the last week of October. I am still catching my breath! I promise not to stay away for all of November. I won't make you suffer through that again!
Love you all!

What great pictures! Cute birthday party, "sweet" Halloween costumes, and Happy Birthday to you!
Glad to have you back in the blog world. Your family is adorable. I love the b-day pics and my favorite is the pumpkin. I believe all babies need to be a pumpkin once in their life.
I'm not related, but I wish I was... :o) I read every word and looked at every picture. You are just so.darn.cute!!! You AND your kids. Love the theme party. And those cute little fingers look better than candy to me.
discrimnated against because i can't stay up late. the people will revolt. we won't stand for this treatment! : )
I'm so glad to read a new post! I thought maybe something happened to you!! ;-)
Your updates are fantastic! I loved loved loved all the pictures!
I know how you feel about losing track of your life! Happy birthday and everyone looks happy and healthy again. Hope to see more of you and welcome back :)
AJ has worn her tye dye shirt EVERY DAY since the party.
I'll be lucky if I get a blog post up anytime soon!
Welcome back! I loved all the adorable pictures. you are all so stinkin' cute. I loved the babe sucking his fingers - how precious!
Oh and I shed a tear during HSM 3 myself - totally at the end. I loved it and would see it again. Much better than HSM2 in my opinion. I don't see any popcorn - isn't there a rule you can't see a movie without popcorn? Or maybe that is in my own little world :o)
Thanks for the update and fun pictures.
Ok, there was popcorn! I just didn't want to look like a pig in the picture. You can't go to a theatre and not get popcorn! I'm sure that is in the bible somewhere. October was a good month. I was glad to be a part of it this year! Let's do it again in Nov.!
You make me laugh, you make me smile, and I would go see HSM3 with you again in a heartbeat. You and I girl, we are so much alike! I defend my tears too!!!
Wingman was the cutest pumpkin I have ever seen. Oh my word. And the pic of the fingers...are you trying to give me baby fever? Not working, not working, fingers in my ears, la la la la la....:)
And you ARE the grooviest mom ever. Lou's party was great! SO cute. And Annie also adores her shirt.
Thanks for being my best friend!
You are so funny! And I love the October recap. I'm not even family, just a fan of adorable kids!
Welcome back, my friend. I missed you!! :) Glad to hear you've been away because you've been busy celebrating life!! :) What fun!! I so wish I was closer and could have celebrated your b-day with you! I would have so been at HSM3 with you!! (I wanted to see it but the hubs wouldn't hear of it...) :) Each and every one of you are just to precious for words. Thanks for the updates and the precious pics!! :)
Not family, but I loved the pics anyway! :) Sounds like a full and happy month... er... week. :)
We loved HSM3 too! Happy Birthday, Janelle!
I still need to download pictures from Halloween...sheesh. Loved your picture post. How is that sweet Wit? I hope he is feeling better!
I can SO relate, really. I am just now starting to post again and I'm not sure how long it will last. I don't really have the time but it is such a great outlet that I want to make time. Especially because I don't take many pictures when I'm not blogging! Crazy, I know!! I loved this post because I got a good update reading it!! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving!!
