I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

Very nice run at 5:30 this morning.  The stars were SO beautiful and the crescent moon was smiling at me.  Yes, Mom/Maurine, I wore my reflective vest :D  Everything felt great and relaxed and normal!  Yippee!!!

I've got to go and get all of the Jawa costumes made for the boys for a party tonight.  I hope ya'll have a wonderful Saturday and a restful Sunday!  I'll post a picture of the boys tomorrow.  The costumes won't be as intricate as my husband would like, but oh well!  The boys will live, but just barely!

Great run, and I can not wait to see the costumes! I still have 3 boys with no costumes, and i do not sew. I gotta get on that...

I HATE to sew! Anyway- they will be cute and they had better want to be Jawa's forever or alteast something brown ;)

I can't wait to see the costume pictures. I just posted pictures of the costume I made for Melanie. This is the first time I have ever sewed in my life, and actually, it was kind of fun.

I think you need to change your title to "Let the Domestic Goddess free", I am very impressed that you are attempting to make your son's Halloween costumes. Intricate or not, You are making them so be darn proud of yourself. I am also very glad that everything went okay yesterday and that you found Will okay, what a scare!

Sorry, that last comment was from me, I just forgot to add my "s" at the end of my name.

thanks KellieS :) They are quite simple constumes. My husband did all the hard wok with the blasters he has made for them. He's he artist in the family. He's also a MAJOR StarWars NUT!!!

Good miles this week Marion, I can't believe that you are making the costumes, I used to have time to do that but not any more. Can't wait to see the pictures.
