Monday was Halloween,  The kids had Monday and Tuesday off from school so it was a fun day.

Halloween dinner traditions.

Alex still had to work but we caught him having fun on a zoom call :)

Alex headed out of town for the week, yep my birthday week.  The kids and I took advantage of a day off and played at Alley Cats, no one was there which was extra nice.

I also decided ti have some fun and change up my hair.

I went a little red and love it.

Wednesday was my birthday and Clifton was so very sweet to take over dads role in the house and surprised me with flowers (he bought with his own money) and decorations.  What a sweet heart!  He hates to show emotions but it's good to know he has a soft side to him.

I was also surprised with a sweet yard decorations from my friend Caroline.  Gestures like these mean the world.  Especially cause I know how early she had to get up ad do this.  Felt very loved today!

Started the day throwing my own party at my dance class.  Glow in the dark dancing!

It was SOOOOO fun.  The aftermath was not pretty with all the sweat and face paint :)

Even though Alex was gone it turned out to be an amazing birthday.  

Picnic at the park and had friends join us.

Then another friend took us all out to get froyo.

Love from my kids

Treats, texts, calls from lots of wonderful people.  I am beyond blessed to have so many amazing friends in my life.

Late that night or really very early Friday morning, Alex got home and his brother and brother in law came into town.  They headed off to a football game that Lockheed Martin Sponsors so they got great box tickets.

Then Alex took them around town to see Fort Worth and play some Top Golf.

While they were out playing the younger boys had a birthday party, Clifton was playing with friends, so McKay and I got a pedicure.

Got to love some girl time.

His brothers could only stay for a couple days but it was so nice to have family in town and for Alex to be able to do something for him and with some of his favorite people.
