I had to summarize 2 articles that I found about the history behind the day of the dead...I actually found one that I thought was beautiful in a way and made me want to celebrate this wonderful holiday as well.. I would remember my grandparents that have left me and some other dear friends.
We found a new counselor to help with our kid situation..to also help with our kids that have special needs and to help Rob and I brush up on some much needed parenting skills since we have also never parented teenagers. I feel like we are on the right path and that we will see some improvements soon.
We have had a minor set back with a member of our family because of some of the temporary changes that we have had to make, so please remember us in your prayers.
I am glad Halloween is over ..each year get harder and harder for me to enjoy, as my kids get older they want to dress-up as things I won't approve of and it becomes a fight every year. I think next year I will pay them to buy candy and just forget about the holiday so we won't have to fight about it. The Horton boys celbrated with Landon so of course they could be whatever they chose and I took Jeri, Carl and Clarissa to a church party and then they Trick-or Treated at some neighbor hood houses. JEri was Dorothy from The Widard of Oz, Carl was a skeleton, which was hilarious because that suited him perfectly since he is so tall and skinny anyway, and Clarissa was a Barbie cheer leader. I made all of the kids these fancy halloween bags and they recieved lots of compliments..I should go into business!
Well, that is the most recent update..I hope you all have a great holiday.
