Randomness....as usual

My kiddos are driving me crazy! Why is that? It gets cold and all of a sudden they have the energy of a football team. They are arguing, roughhousing, running around, etc, and I am about to throw them out in the rain.

Now that I got that out of the way....what else is new? My kids are in a robotics tournament, which has proven to be very time consuming. They essentially build a robot that follows commands on a playing field, and compete against other schools/teams. Saturday is the big day, and if they win, they will go on to the next level. If they don't win, it is over for the year. I kinda like that idea, but of course they want to win...so I guess I could be happy with that too. LOL.

Still hating Halloween. I don't get how Christians can participate in this awful day. It is full of blood/gore/evil things. What about this day appeals to anyone with a Christian mind set? How is it okay to go around essentially begging for candy from others, with the funny ha ha threat of a trick should they not get any???? Why would you want your little Hello Kitty to see and participate next to a horror show killer? There is no redemptive value in this nasty day...I am just so confused. All of my Christian facebook friends save one or two keep talking about trick or treating or costumes and the like and it is so hard to hold my tongue. I will argue my position on my own facebook, but not theirs.

We did a huge clean fest the other day. Cleaned up the entire yard, and also the garage. It was hard but we persevered and it looks great. We have a huge trash pile for trash day, but we are allowed 2 a year, so no problem. Now to just finish inside the house. I wish I could be ruthless inside like I was outside. Just chuck it in the trash already, Holly. LOL!
