Well, I’ve been jobless for about a month now (technically longer if you count the 3 weeks of paid leave they gave me) and I have to say, its driving me nuts. I suppose it would be fun to be jobless as long as you were independently wealthy so you could do something with your free time, but when your whole existence revolves around looking for a new job, it gets old quick. It has been nice spending more time with my kids, but I think my wife is ready for me to go back to work (as am I). So until then, I’ll just keep looking and I suppose maybe I’ll follow the twins example and just DANCE!!!

So this year’s Halloween activities weren’t exactly what we had planned, but we still ended up with more candy than we know what to do with. This year the kids dressed up as Sharpay from High School Musical (Hailey), Dorothy (Mallory), Little Bo Peep (Annie) and Jack was a Sheep. We had a couple days worth of Halloweening including a party at Grandma’s house and a pretty crazy round of trunk-or-treating at the park.

Well, nobody else was going to eat em.

So I’m sort of going back in time here a bit as I try to catch up on a few recent events. About a month ago I took the girls up to Bear Lake for the weekend for our annual wood cutting event. Every year we cut down several trees to use as firewood through the winter and this year the girls got to help a bit. It always makes for a fun weekend (even if a tiring one) and this year was no different. And as an added bonus Hailey and Mallory got to play with Nana and Papa’s new puppy Dixie.
