SO WE MADE IT 2 WEEKS SO FAR, AND LIFE IS GREAT. THINKING BACK TO WHEN MADDIE WAS A NEWBORN, THIS TIME AROUND IS ALOT DIFFERENT. SHE SLEEPS ALL THE TIME ONLY CRYS WHEN SHE'S HUNGRY. THATS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU HAVE A 10 POUNDER. MADASIN IS THE BEST BIG SISTER EVER. LIFE IS GOOD

A Finder Halloween

Ok - here are our costumes. Basically, I had little motivation this year, so I didn't do ANY sewing (which is unlike me). I didn't spend as much either... most of it is recycled costumes.

Kael, of course is Spider-Man black suit (thanks, Mom for that costume), Oran is a "Vampirate", Ethan is a regular pirate (we couldn't do the make-up due to his face being swollen and rashy from poison ivy!), Hana is an elf.

They had a lot of fun, as usual. Too much candy, as usual. And, out too late, as usual -- but it was a good time - we went to Sonic after all the trick-or-treating, and that was an even better treat for them. And, it wasn't TOO cold, either. :-)

Halloween Fun

I thought it would be fun if everyone posted their Halloween pictures on the family blog so we can enjoy all of the fun costumes. TJ suggested that we dress up as the Scooby-Doo gang this year. I thought it was a great idea and we had a lot of fun putting the costumes together.

Our Trunk-or-Treat party was lots of fun and we came away with way too much candy. Afterwards, we visited our Grandparents and didn't get home until 10:30. For our family of early-to-bedders, that was super late, but we really had a great time! Thankfully Halloween was Friday night this year!

We ran out of Scooby-Doo characters so I had to be the monster. The kids didn't like mom as a mummy but I had fun!
