Happy Holidays from the Hassell clan. Obviously I am not really great at making blogs...I will work on this tomorrow when I am more coherent. Life is good but hectic as usual. Chad and I are trying to run his Kiosk at South Towne Mall and it has been a roller coaster!! Some days are great and others are so slow....ugh!!
The biggest news around here is the fact that we withdrew our three older boys from APA.. the charter school they have been attending for the past almost 6 years. Long story...but it was time to move on. They were feeling like they were in military school not public school. And yet they have learned so much and so many valueable life-lessons there. I still have Mallory there because she needs the repetition and the great fluidity of the education they offer her there. Not to mention her easy going personality fits so well with the whole discipline ideals they have there. So off to the local schools they went... Spencer to Crescent View Middle School and Hayden and Noah to Sprucewood Elementary. They have all had a great first week. Here are some of their comments..."I love the cafeteria"..."I love the big playground"...Its so laid back"... "Its so great to wear whatever I want everyday"....Obvoiusly they are happier. SO let's hope the pressure is off and they soar where they are. Happy children make for a happy home. :)

This past week was so crazy!! I was planning to host our book club at my house for our discussion of all of the 4 "Twilight" books on Thursday. So because I was having all of my friends over I just HAD to get my house in order. I painted and re-decorated the hall bathroom, painted my kitchen and part of my family room starting Saturday and ending on Thursday at 2:30 am!! Chad thought I was a lunatic...but it is always my best motivation to get something really done right when I have a hard deadline!! It's just my whacky personality! Anyway It turned out great and I am so happy with it. It always feels good to have a fresh coat of paint in the house. My dear sister-in-law was so kind to come and help me re-mix my deco in the house and give me feedback and ideas. Two heads are far better than one I say! The party was a huge success and I was very pleased all the way around!
The boys, Spencer and Hayden's, team won their playoff game on Saturday and so they are headed to the State Championship finals on Saturday the 7th of Nov. It will be very exciting and I really think they will win.
Chad opened the kiosk for the TravelCOZY at the South Towne Mall this past week. It has been very slow so far but we are excited for the fast approaching holiday season and are hopeful that the sales will be great. People are very interesting and working in the mall sure attests to that! Chad and I are primarily the ones who will be working there, so stop by and say HI. We are near the food court on the main level.

Well, I finally decided to get a move on and figure out how to do this. Thanks to Rebekah C. who came over today and showed me the "ropes" of blogging. Thanks again, Rebekah!! We are all well this fall. It's been a busy one!! Football is almost over for Hayden and Spencer- this
Saturday is their last regular season game. Then they are on to the playoffs as the #1 team in their division!! We are SO proud of them and their team. They ended up on the same team this year..( mom has been cheering the whole time - less stress etc.) So I will get some pictures up on here of them shortly. Chad is working feverishly on the TravelCOZY and his HealthyVent. We are just waiting for this whole thing to break wide open. It seems no one is ever in as big of a rush as we are. But we are excited about the future.
Mallory is loving her first year at APA where her big brothers go. Spencer is in 8th grade, Hayden in 6th, Noah is in 4th and Cohen is in 4 year old pre-school. I have so much more I could say...time is not ever on my side !! Have a great day!!
