Miles driven: 2300 Hours in car: 44 Being able to spend 2 weeks with Grandma: Priceless

So I am sure you are all wondering where I disappeared to, well the answer is Delaware!!! After still not being able to find a job and kind of just sitting around with nothing to do except stress about everything, my mom and I figured out a way for me and the girls to drive out to Delaware to visit and have a vacation. So a few weeks ago we packed up the car, the girls and myself and drove out. We stopped in Columbus Ohio, about half way and stayed at Steve's sisters house so that I wouldn't be driving all night. It was good for them to see the girls. We stayed at my sister Ambers house with her two boys, Shawn and Asher. The kids had a BLAST, though bed time was a challenge. It took a good couple days to figure something out to get them all to go to sleep and even after that we struggled. The kids played great the whole time and they were so sad when it was time to head back to Minnesota. I also enjoyed my time out there. I just always have a so much fun with my mom and sisters and this time was no exception. I got to meet some new friends and catch up with some old friends, some that I hadn't seen in like 8 years! It was a much needed vacation, especially for me. I took tons of pictures and will post them with some really cute and funny stories.

Here are the cousins playing so nicely

Happy Halloween

Halloween was a blast this year. Last year we were only able to trick or treat at a few houses and it was just Steve and I and the girls, so it was a little lonely. This year we went to my Uncle Doug and Aunt Heathers house to trick or treat with their kids and it was a lot of fun. They had a great neighborhood and their neighbors gave out good candy. Maggie and Molly had so much fun. When we left at 9pm they both cried, they wanted to stay. All in all it was a great Halloween.

Maggie and Molly in their costumes. Maggie is Belle from Beauty and the Beast and Molly is a sweet pea.

This was the only picture that I could get with Molly actually wearing the hat, she looked so cute and what you can't see is that she is wearing little green crocs that match perfectly.

The cape that Maggie is wearing I made!! I think it turned out pretty well for someone that doesn't really sew.

All of the kids dressed up for Halloween.

Maggie and her cousin Abby, couldn't get from one house to the other fast enough. They were so cute. Abby was a bit faster then Maggie so Maggie would run after her yelling Abby here I come. It was adorable to watch.

Daddy and Molly enjoying trick or treating. Molly was the cutest little girl. She would go up to the door and say trick or treat and then grab as much candy as she possibly could. She tried to eat all the candy as we were out and when she was holding a candy and got to another door, she would put that candy down into the candy bowl so she could get another one. We joked that she was candy swapping.

After trick or treating Uncle Doug and Aunt Heather treated us to a delicious triple chocolate cake for mine and Steve's birthday. It was really good!

After all the festivities the kids went into the living room and Alex turned on Aerosmith ( his favorite music) and all the kids were dancing in the living together, it was hilarious. Notice Maggie with her arms crossed? My Uncle showed her how to be cool when she dances.

What are they doing you ask? The worm of course!
