I am sick with some kind of weird virus, I have chills and a fever, but I HAVE to update my blog. Yes I am addicted. It was a wild and crazy halloween week. I am the room mom for Mary Rose's Pre school class and everything went fine. I made appearances at Abby's and Emma's parties where I ran up and down the stairs trying to split myself in two trying to be the ever fair mother. We went to the Trunk or Treat where the kids had a great time, but I was frantic the whole time because my mom was two hours late with no phone call. I made her give me the cell phone number of her boss so it won't happen again. My heart can not handle such things. My sister Anna came through town with her precious twins on the way to visit her in laws. We had lunch with them before everything got crazy with the parties.  On Halloween night, my dear friend Jessica invited us to Trick or treat with their family and a few other couples in Collierville. The girls cleaned up on candy and had a wonderful time.  Enjoy the pictures!! Love to you all, Dawn
