Girls Night Out

A couple weeks ago, we had a girls night out. After all these years in Bakersfield, I had never been to the Crystal Palace where Buck Owens performed. We dined and danced, well some of us danced.

Ten on Tuesday

I have been a bit absent the last couple of weeks, so this week I will try to make up for it with several posts and pictures.

1. Do you color? If you do, do you use markers, crayons, or colored pencils?
With the kids. I loved coloring when I was child. I prefer crayons.

2. What is the most organized part or system in your house?
The kids rooms. We don't have play room, so it's a must that their toys are organized and in their place. I don't do well with chaos.

3. What is the most unorganized part or system in your house?
My freezer.

4. If you had unlimited amounts of time and money, what museum would you want to see and why?
I would travel throughout Europe and stop at all the major museums.

5. What is your favorite part of the fall season?
The clothes and Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

6. Did you dress up for Halloween?
Yes, we had a football theme for our family. Adam & I went as the crazy overly involved parents.

7. Have you started Christmas shopping?
No. I like the craziness of waking up early on Black Friday and getting all of my shopping done in one day.

8. Do you crack your knuckles?
Yes, it's a bad habit.

9. If you had to live in another city for a year (all expenses paid), which city would you choose?
London.

10. Do you have any reoccurring dreams?
No, but I have dreams that come true.

Be sure to stop by the Queen of Ten on Tuesday and say hi.

Pumpkin Carving

The other night, our friend Ray & Marissa invited us over to carve pumpkins. We loved every minute of it and the kids had a blast coloring pumpkins and watching Ray carve their pumpkins.

Taylor was the only one to help Ray clean the pumpkins.

Friday Favorites

Is it already Friday? This week flew by in our house and it's only going to get worse as the month progresses. Lots going on at the Kaye house.

5. Deep Fried Paradise.
This is completely opposite of eating clean, but so enticing. Last night I watched Deep Fried Paradise on the Travel Channel. Not a smart move at night. All I could think about were deep fried pickles. Might sound weird, but oh so delicious, especially dipped in ranch.

4. Birthday's.
I was amazed at how many people celebrate their birthday on October 14th. It's a special day in my family, thanks to my wonderful Dad. For the past couple of years we haven't been able to celebrate with him, but next year is a big one and I wouldn't miss it for anything. Also I have three friends whose children were born on the 14th.

3. Date with Taylor.
Tonight, Mason is going to his friend Braden's birthday party. It's his first drop off birthday party. We were invited to stay, however, we are taking advantage of our one on one time with Taylor. The last time Adam & I were alone with Taylor was the day she was born. We are long overdue for some Taylor time.

2. Dear Santa.
Mason is at the stage where he wants everything. I'm not a fan of this stage, but at least Christmas isn't too far off. After he kept asking over and over for a certain toy. I explained that we should write a letter to Santa. So we got out a piece of paper and started writing his letter. It's his first and I will be holding onto this forever.

1. Mason's appetite.
Wednesday, Mason woke up with a huge appetite. He ate 5 strawberry waffles at breakfast. Two hours later had a PBJ. For lunch he ate a grilled cheese and grapes. Snack - an apple. Dinner included Pizza. Can we say growth spurt!

Prayer Warriors

Calling all prayer warriors! Several times in our blog I have mentioned our best friends The Mooney's. I got a call this morning from Marissa asking me to pray for Luke, their youngest. You might remember that Luke underwent Brain Surgery in 2009 for Chiari Malformation. Yesterday, Luke's teacher mentioned that he had an involuntary twitch and she seemed concerned. Marissa saw it this morning for the first time and she is really worried. Apparently, he kept doing this all day long and they took him in for a CT Scan. It came back clear, but she is still concerned and waiting to hear back from the specialist tomorrow. Not sure if this is related to Chiari or the cause of something else. Luke is 3 years old. Please cover them in your prayers. Thank you!
