Tok or bust!!!!!

This has been a crazy month! But it looks like we are finally settled in! The kids and I are in our new house and loving it! There is only one problem with it.... it is for sale! Lets all hope and pray that it doesn't get sold! (At least until spring!) Vince is still in Fairbanks and won't be back home with us until December. He is doing his field training for the troopers. It is going fine for him but we are wishing he was at home with us.
So about Tok...... Tok is super small! There is one little grocery store, a couple of gas stations, and everyone in Tok has the last name of "Young" (give or take a few). People here have been really nice to us and always say, "welcome to Tok"! The coolest thing we have seen in Tok is Muk-Luk-land. And as luck would have it we live rights down the road from Muk-Luk-Land. Now I am not real sure what Muk-Luk-Land is but I am pretty sure it is going to give Disney a run for it's money! Muk-Luck-Land is closed until spring but it doesn't stop us from standing under the big Muk-Luk for a picture!

Another Tok highlight is our bathtub! The kids would take a bath every day if I would let them. But because I am the "water Nazi", (a title given to me by my wonderful husband who showers 5 times a day....) I only allow them to swim in the big tub once a week!

Cody is the best boy. Him and his big old mop of red hair! I don't know how I got to be so lucky!! He picked the room downstairs and has not stayed down there once. I don't freakin blame him..... (everyone knows that is where ghost hang out!) He said that he is "starting to get used to school". And he really likes his teacher! He has to ride the bus home tomorrow and is pretty worried....... but then again so am I. (We are like two peas in a pod!) His school is k-12 and he is one of 11 kids in his class! We thought it was funny that some of the kids ride 4 wheelers and dirt bikes to school! Only in rural Alaska do they have ATV parking at the school!!!

Emily is getting taller... not bigger just taller. She is always smacking her brother around and he lets her! Her dad took her to get her ears pierced in fbks. He was trying to "surprise me". (more like he was trying to get it done before I could say NO!". She always gets them snagged on everything.... guess it is the price for beauty (who needs earlobes anyways?!). She and I are going to volunteer at the local head start so hopefully she will get a chance to meet some new friends. I am also going to put my name on the sub list at head start. On the days I get called to sub they will let me take Em with me!

Speaking of Halloween......... my big 5th annual Halloween party is going to be held the 27th of October. So far no one has sent me an RSVP! It might just be me, the kids, and a big bowl of candy corn this year!
Bye for now! If you have made it this far through my ramblings then good for you! I will post more when something exciting happens........or maybe the next time I wake up at 2:00am and realize that I don't have cable!
