Happy Halloween

Between Grant and I being sick and it starting to rain as it got dark, we decided to scrap the idea of trick or treating and be homebodies. We got some cheap frozen pizzas, made root beer floats and watched a movie while waiting for trick or treaters (not one actually showed up). We still had fun anyway - taking a few silly pictures.

Apparently, our 2008 Halloween pictures only come in the large size so I hope you enjoy seeing us up close and personal!

Grant learned quickly how to say pumpkin this year.

I'm so glad we didn't get big pumpkins - Grant would have tried to pick them up no matter the size, but these were just a little more manageable

Bet you guys thought that I was the only goofball around here ---- WRONG!

I ordered the 5 Love Languages of Children from amazon.com the other day. I'm really excited to start reading it - just as soon as I can get it back from Grant.

Hope that you all had a fun and safe Halloween!

Hey All You Twilight Freaks!

I dare you not to laugh at this! How much do you want to bed that they're LDS and this was made for some FHE activity?

I stole this tag from my friend Kristi.

Go to My Pictures and into your fourth folder, click on the fourth photo in that folder. Now describe it.

I probably should have My Pictures organized into folders. I used to, but since our computer kicked the bucket and took all of my organization with it, I haven't put the time in on it. My trust for technology is gone! Anyway, since I have no 4th folder, I chose the 4th picture. It just so happened that it was one from Halloween '93 or '94. My best childhood friends Beth and Kaydie lived down the street from my family and their mother is a great seamstress so she made our costumes. If I wore the costume this year it would probably fit more like a traditional french maid costume would, but I doubt it would be very becoming of a young LDS mother. Anyway, fun memories!

Funny Faces

I tried once more today to get a picture of Grant in the puppy costume, but he wouldn't have it. He kept pulling the hood off and behind his neck so I abandoned the idea. I put it on top of my head and made a face at him. He laughed and ran into the bedroom. A few minutes later he came out with a swim diaper on his head and made a face at me. Silly boy! He pulled it down over his face so he was looking out of the leg hole. It almost looked like a Nacho Libre mask, but I didn't snap the picture in time, darn it! After he ditched the diaper hat, I took advantage of his silly mood and caught some of his funny faces. He never fails to make us laugh.

Starting to see a pattern?

The Puppy

Well, we tried out Grant's Halloween costume the other day. Of course he didn't pose for any pictures that REALLY showed just how cute he looks in it. The tail on the costume wags when he walks. A-DORABLE! I'll try to get video and better pictures, but I'm not promising anything. I should let him fall asleep wearing it just to get him to sit still!
