Halloween Plans

Well school is definately keeping me busy - often too busy to write about it! I will give you an update on our adoption situation - We are adopting a boy and a girl, brother and sister, and we are assuming that my parents will be able to go to Uganda to get them no sooner than January. The suspense is sometimes unbareable - we really want to meet these two right NOW!

School is going well... I'm understanding most of the math that I'm doing, and for me, that's a really good thing. I am very excited for eighth hour because that is band! I am in the marching band this year and it is a lot of fun. It's a great work out, too! in fact, my arms felt like jello today after I got done marching around the block with the rest of the band. Sometimes I doubt that I will be able to make it all around town in the Halloween Parade.
Speaking of Halloween, I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing for it. I'm trying to convince my mom into letting me have my two best friends, Lizzie and Veronica, over so that we can bob for apples, frost cookies, and answer the doorbell when excited trick-or-treaters come. We might even scare some of the older kids - but not the little ones. My brother, Hayden, once went into a "Haunted Garden" of a classmate of mine, and he nearly wet his pants he was so scared! He wouldn't go in, even for his favorite bag of chips! Carter had to go in for him. I'd rather not have a petrified toddler wet his pants on my front step.

If I can't have them over, I will probably just sit at the door and hand out candy in my costume from last year... I hope that doesn't happen :)
