Halloween was fun this year. AJ dressed up as a pimp, Mike as a zombie and I as a spider witch. I have to admit that I dont miss going out in the cold to take the kids trick or treating. The kids are old enough now that we just send them out with a cell phone and tell them not to stay out too late. I am enjoying the benefits of having older children. No more worrying all the time if they are going to run out in front of a car, no more bundling them up to the point of unrecognition, and I feel ok about letting them eat all the candy they want the next day because I know that they are old enough to know that they will probably get a stomach ache if they do (which by the way they did). We also carved pumpkins this year which we usually do but we have never used the stencils before. They turned out pretty good and they were fun to do!

Welcome to the Medina Family Blog!
Journaling is something that I wish I would have done when my kids were younger. Kids do the funniest things when they are litte and unless you write them down, I have found that the memories fade quickly. Although my kids are past the "cute" stage and have entered the notorious pre-teen and teenager stages, I thought it would still be fun to keep a record of what is going on in our lives. Every year we do new and exciting things and I dont want to look back on my life in 10 years from now and wish I would have recorded all the fun things that we did together as a family. So this starts the beginning of our Medina Family Blog. I am excited to begin posting notes & photos about what is going on in our lives and sharing them with our friends & family. Enjoy!
