Halloween 09

Halloween started off with an "Adult's Only" party. Joey and I would not classify ourselves as the dressing up type. Therefore, we struggle every year with a costume that we don't feel completely ridiculous in. This year, Joey raided the warehouse at work. Unfortunately, they only provided us with uniforms straight out of the 1800's. I guess the state police doesn't really want us impersonating an officer. But, these worked!


Brendon started middle school this year. I thought this would be a good year to make the break from costumes and trick or treating. He really didn't love the idea, but was a good sport. I did let him take Blake trick or treating and I told him he could have his candy. So don't worry, he isn't too deprived.






What do you get when your 2 year old decides to not take a nap on Halloween....

A Sneak Peak...

I took pictures of the kids yesterday. Unfortunately, the lighting wasn't great. It will take me a while to make some editing improvements. Here is a little taste...


The last week has been crazy busy...Hayden's birthday, Halloween parties, trunk or treat, costumes...Glad that Halloween is gone for another 365 days. Pictures to come...

The kids and I went out to the pumpkin patch yesterday while Joey was out hunting. It is our annual tradition, and we had a great time.

Will I make it?

We've hit the terrible twos! In fact, I think we have jumped in feet first.
Spilled milk happens daily at our house. Does anyone else have this problem?
Hard to get mad at a face like this!

Doing the Happy Dance....

They're OFF!!! And, I don't mean horses. The kids are gone to school. Oh, how I long for the day! This year I have a middle schooler, elementary schooler and preschooler. Three schools! Should keep me nice and busy. (By the way, this picture was taken at 7:10am. I had to roll myself out of bed to catch a shot before he left for the bus.)


Notice how Hayden is standing on the curbing? He would not walk on the grass because he might get his new shoes wet. I had to carry him over there, and carry him back. That kid cracks me up!


These two are in the same class this year. You would think they had won the lottery when they found out!

And...This is where I end up without children. A long standing tradition. I saw lots of other Mom's dropping off kids in their workout attire. They were getting ready to head to the gym. I, on the other hand, head out for food. What is wrong with this picture?
(We missed you Ang! We totally needed another 2 year old. Two of them in the restaurant just wasn't enough.)

Nicole's Birthday Party

Nicole had her "friend" birthday party last week. The girls came to our house for some crafts, and then headed over to the pool for a little swimming. They had a great time together.
These girls are full of attitude!
