We had a wonderful Halloween and couldn't have asked for a better night. Here are my little vampires...Jace was dead-set on being a Star Wars something-or-other until he saw Hallie GOT to have vampire teeth. So, we GOT to throw him together another costume at the last minute so he, too, could be a vampire with fangs.
This is my oh-so-sad ladybug. She perked right up after she realized knocking on doors would reward her with candy. Following the first house she ran as fast as her little legs would carry her to the following homes and had no qualms approaching complete strangers. Don't even think about touching her candy bag, though.
I also celebrated the last birthday of my 20's in October and was surprised with a special homemade, tiered, birthday cake from Hallie. No, it was not edible, but it was one of the sweetest things I've ever seen, so I had to share it. She's my sweetheart.
And my next photo is for Natalie and Jean...here she is...don't be jealous of my beautiful landscaping.
I really am SOOOO happy we moved. It was a pain getting to this point and nearly drove me to the crazy house, but now that I have finally unpacked my last miscellaneous box this week, and the basement is basically finished I am really so thrilled to be here. It is a really good feeling to lose your kids in your house every once in awhile.
While we were finishing the basement rooms this was how my kids chose to entertain themselves...
Who needs store-bought toys when you can have framing scraps? They made all sorts of concoctions and enjoyed every minute of it that Emerie wasn't destroying their hard work. By the time they were finished each night they were covered from head to toe in drywall dust, but hey, it's the new dirt.
Things are looking up.
