Catching Up!

As usual my life is busy and hectic!!

October seems to be one of the busiest months for me each year! Then, tends to be followed by two almost as busy months that have me wondering why I look forward to these Holidays so much! All year I say how much I am ready and cannot wait for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.......then it arrives and I am just trying to keep up with it all!

So here it is, October 31st. Half the month has passed since my last entry but there is SO much to tell. So, in an effort to catch up so I can move forward to November, here ' goes....................

First - Lafayette Animal Aid

My playgroup does a few fundraisers each year. One of our favorites is the Lafayette Animal Aid. This was our 2nd year donating to this great cause/place! We take a few weeks, collect items on their wish list, ask family and friends if they'd like to donate as well. We schedule our drop off date, bring our items and monetary donations, get a small tour of the facility then head our for a celebratory lunch.

Here's how our day went............

I fell in love with this handsome cat, Heath!!

Then, on Sunday I had my Passionately Pink for the Cure fundraiser.

I called it Paint the Town Pink. Found a place, got a plan and set it in motion!!

It was at Painting with a Twist, we painted our "Whimsical Tree", I had received LOTS of generous donations to raffle off and we had food and drinks!! It went really well! And I raised $300 for Komen Acadiana!! How cool is that?!?!

The Wonderful Door Prizes

The lovely ladies who support this great cause and our instructor in the center!

My Masterpiece! :o)

My mom was in town so we had to do what us girls always do.......go skating! lol



Good times!!






We took Regan to a Halloween Carnival at St Anne's Church. It's close to the house and for $5 Regan did a lot, got a lot of goodies and had a blast!!











We also had a family reunion this month. It was for the Guidry side (my mom's mom's side).
It was interesting to say the least! I don't know the majority of this family since we didn't live here while I was growing up. And those that I do know, I either love to pieces or wish there was a way to cut a few limbs off the family tree! lol

Here are a few highlights from the day! My mom won an award for being the eldest grandchild and for traveling the furthest, I won one for being the eldest great grandchild and Regan won the scavenger hunt!!

Momma & Uncle Carroll

The Guidry Kids - Belle, Dean, Lena, Zoe, Blackie, Newbon

The Whole Crew

Yesterday Regan had her Halloween Party at her school........since I'm a room mom I get to join in the fun and capture it as well!!

They let the kids dress up, but it had to be a career......Regan is a Nurse here, because theat is the costume I found. She has announced though that instead of a Doctor like she has been saying since she was 3, she now wants to be a teacher! I think this probably has something to do with how great Mrs Mouton, her teacher is! :o)







Last night we finally carved our pumpkins!! I think they are fabulous!!!!!

Regan's Beauty!

Daddy's Ghost

Well that about catches us up for the last 2 weeks.........

Halloween is tonight! This trio will be dressed in our Vampire best tonight as we wait for our friends for some Halloween fun and Trick or Treating!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!
