Halloween 2008

Spider baby-he wasn't crazy about the hat but I made him keep it on!
Jonathan with Bethany as a lovely maiden.
Ty really wanted to be a policeman with a gun this year but by the time I got to the party store the police officer costumes were sold out. Bummer. He decided that he would be a fireman with an ax instead-only problem was that the costume didn't come with an ax. All they had was a bloody ax that I bought! He loved it! I just couldn't handle my three year old running around with a bloody ax so I ordered the one in the picture online and it got here just in time for Halloween.

Happy Halloween!

My cousin Chelsea posted the cutest pictures of past Halloweens and it made me want to find some of ours. The first one is of my dad and Ty last Halloween. I would have never thought that he wouldn't be around for this Halloween. I should have taken a ton more pictures! He is holding his megaphone which he loved to use to be annoying. He loved that megaphone! My dad wasn't one to dress up or really get into Halloween but he always enjoyed a good 'dinner in a pumpkin.'
The other pictures are of Halloweens past. Daniel as the 'Hulk' and Angela as a princess-which reminds us all of Lily. The best is Morgan's mummy costume. Just strips of an old sheet? And I am not quite sure what Dessie is but I think some sort of HillBilly? I am the cute little girl with the bottle. Mom-I should of been off the bottle! JK Fun memories. I need to find some more Halloween pictures!

Do the Dew!

Holy cow! I drank a Mountain Dew today at around noon. I can't stop! I haven't had one since I can remember and I was over at my mom's house and my brother in law, Bart, left his 12 pack laying around so I decided to drink one and I have accomplished more today than I would in a week. I cleaned out the car, cleaned the porch, made dinner, did three days worth of dishes, cleaned out the fish bowl, mopped the floors, wiped out the nasty fridge and then I started organizing kitchen cabinets! What! I can't sleep so I have been blogging and even organizing our office. I even clipped and organized coupons! All I have to say is that while I loved the bionic energy- I know that tomorrow a.m. I will be so sleepy and cranky with my kids and husband. Yikes!

Just A Little Attention Please!

Lately Ty has been seeking a lot more attention. He tries to get noticed at everything he does, especially if we are showing attention to Jonathan. "Look Mom! I can do tummy time just like Jonathan!" "Look I can roll over like the baby and hold my head up...." e.t.c. We try to give him attention at every chance we get-how much does this kid need? I thought this picture was funny because he looks so proud of himself and Jonathan's face is saying "big deal."

Ty's First Day of Preschool

Let's just say that Ty's first day was a little upsetting for him. I made Theron take him and he called me fifteen minutes later saying that he couldn't even get him through the door. He was screaming and yelling and thrashing around. Finally the teacher came and got him and told Theron to leave. I guess she said something to him because he stopped. When I picked him up he was happy and didn't want to leave. He cried again the next time but when we took him on Fri. he didn't cry so hopefully thing will continue to go well. He has to take his blankie and carries it with him during the whole class. His teacher said that we can work on getting him to leave his blankie. What? We just want him not to scream and go to preschool-may be too much for the little tyke-but hey if she can get him to leave it-why not?

A Few Firsts for Jonathan

He loves his Bumbo Chair. He thinks he is such a big boy when he gets to sit in it.

Jonathan Trying Cereal for the First Time-Yea He Likes it! ( at least a little)

Which Austen character are you most like?

I agree! I love Eleanor. Although a part of me wanted to be MaryAnne or Lizzy....
