okay, so this afternoon i go to lay the girls down for a nap before we go to the campground for halloween and i head back downstairs. about 5 mins. later, i hear..thump...thump. at first i am not too concerned, i just thing they are throwing things out of their cribs, and then i hear...footsteps. i go upstairs and sure enough, they are both out of their cribs and happily playing with the toys in their room. i put them back in bed and then go downstairs. 2 min. later i hear it again...thump....thump, and then...footsteps. i go back up and put them back in bed. they then decided it was in their best interest to go to sleep. so, now i need two crib tents to keep them from escaping. of course they are $60 new and $30 or more on ebay, which we can't afford. my fear is that they will climb out wrong and fall on their heads or figure out how to open the door and tumble down the stairs, so if anyone knows of someone who has one and doesn't need it or know where i can get one or two REAL cheap, please let me know. on to other news:

today we went to the campground for the halloween party. it was alot of fun for the kids, but is always hard for me and hubby to go out there ever since his dad died back in dec. you just expect him to be sitting in his blue chair in the screenhouse or to come walking out of the camper...and he doesn't. we used to go out ever thursday but i think this was actually only the second time we have gone out all season, it is just too painful. We are thankful that he accepted Jesus into his heart a few days before he died, so we know we will see him again someday. it doesn't make it a whole lot easier right now though. we got to see hubby's side of the family, so that was good. we feel soo left out from them. they all get together and we are very rarely invited. i think it is because we are soo different, i go to church and i don't drink or smoke and they do, so i think it is just uncomfortable for all and my hubby works and would probably not be able to go anyway, but it still hurts. we are the last to hear about anything that is going on. i love all of his family, no matter what, they are my family too. i regret that the twins will never get to really know their grampy. he was a wonderful, hard working man, and my hubby is just like him. we love you grampy and miss you everyday. anyway, this is not supposed to be a sad post, but the campground brought back soo many memories.

so, anyway. i wasn't sure how the girls would do at the campground since whenever we go to walmart, they scream when we even go near the halloween isle. i thought for sure they would flip out when they saw kids dressed up in scary costumes and masks, but they never cried. the only time they cried was when grammy took away their bags of candy because they were eating wrappers and all!! they also got to do a pinata:

while we were out there, we also got to see Irene, the kids adopted grammy. we miss irene alot and don't get to see her too often. the kids love her like a grammy too. hopefully we can find a way to see her more often, we just have so many people to see and hubby only really has one day off a week, so it is extremely hard to see everyone. no one makes it a point to come and visit us. here is a pic of the kids with irene. kylee is the little girl in white:
