Our new ~Life~

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post, but things have been a bit hectic around here as of late.

I have huge, life altering news.

No, I'm not pregnant.

Shame on you for thinking such a thing!

Although, I did ask Shad for a baby a few nights ago, and he said I could have an owl.  WTH?? An owl?

That was his way of saying I could have anything, BUT A BABY!

Anyway,

the news.

My sweet husband was just name the Chief of Police of Seldovia.

The city has been without an officer since our Chief retired back in May, so he is stepping into a much needed position.

Things will be different for the family, but a "good" different, I think.

The kids and I had a great time up in Anchorage at the Student Government Conference. 

They learned a lot about Parlimentry Procedures and writing Resolutions.  Chance was quite inspired, and he would like to run for one of the AASG Executive board positions next year.  He is also applying to Alaska Close Up.  He will go to Juneau in February to work with Alaska State Legislators for a week.  He's very excited.  I get to go too, so that will be fun.

This is the kids sitting up on the bleachers, cheering for our Region.

And this is Chance and Taylor introducing our school at the opening ceremonies.

And here are my two sweet teenagers.

We had lots of fun, and are hoping to go to the Spring Conference in Kodiak.

Oh, and my helmet finally showed up.

I was told to put a Breast Cancer ribbon on it.  I found this blinged out one in Anchorage, and knew it was perfect!  I love it.

We have the Halloween Carnival on Saturday night, so there is a lot of preperation going on.  Taylor and I are flying over to Homer tomorow to get some last minute door prizes and groceries.  Girls day!

I will be back soon, I promise.

A little Halloween Inspiration

Well, the leaves are on the ground, and we will have snow here within a few weeks.  Each day you can see it come a little farther down the mountains that surround us.  We always have snow by Halloween.  It's kinda wierd, but that's life here in Alaska.

This year the theme for our Halloween Carnival is "Unhappily Ever After."  So, Shad and I are going as a Day of the Dead Bride & Groom.  I am bidding on a 40's vintage wedding dress on E-bay.  I'm going to die it black, and paint some skull bones on it, sort of inspired by this.

 
And the make-up, something like this, but maybe in Reds.

 

Can't wait!  And Shad is all onboard for the Groom.

And now for some fun crafts!

Love this gorgeous Witches Shoe by My Craft Spot.

And this would be cute for a kids party, or a classroom treat, from Parents Magazine.

Some creepy cupcakes from Lilly Vanilli.

A fun porch decoration.

And here are a few of my favorite costume ideas.

I couldn't get Shad to go for this one.  I think we would have been super cute Minions!

Shad is gone to Valdez doing some Marine Fire Fighter Training this week.  I don't like being home alone.  Something always goes wrong.  Stuff hit the fan early today, so I'm hoping the next few days will be a cake walk. (fingers crossed!)

Have a good week.
