Twilight

This is one example why 1-800 Contacts is such a great company to work for. When a big movie comes out they rent the theater for their employees. For Twilight they did it a little different. When I reserved our tickets they had several showing for Thursday night. It is hard to get a babysitter late at night so I got the 5:30 showing. I didn't realize what a big deal it was until we got there. We got to see the movie before it was released to the public. We had to go through medal detector and they had to check our bags before we went in. I have to admit it was cool. We enjoyed the movie and we were home a little after 8. We got a great night sleep and could still talk about the movie the next day.

Change

Mark has been with 1-800 Contacts for 6 year. It has been an amazing company to work for. They are really good to their employees. Mark is in management there. It is a problem moving up in the company because no one leaves. Mark decided to apply to be a manager at a Target a few weeks ago. We are really excited to say that they hired him. He starts as an assistant manager and then in a few years he takes over a store. They seem like a great company to work for. We are sad to leave 1-800 Contacts, but are really excited to see where Target will take us.

Halloween

Halloween isn't complete without Carmel apples. Abby thought it was great.

Jared was a little nervous to dive in.
We had to include Curtis in the fun. Even if it was only a slice.

After one lick he was hooked.
Abby had a Halloween party at school. I was working so Mark took the boys.
Abby was a fairy. Mark had the idea for the wings. They are coat hangers. The whole outfit was homemade. I was very happy with myself. I always buy. We made the skirt out of elastic band that had ribbons with flowers sown on them.

Here are the boys at the party.

Here is one of just Curtis. He is getting so big.
Mark's parents do a dinner every Halloween. He is a picture of the grand kids.
Jared couldn't find his costume so he went as a fireman.
