Trunk or Treat 2011

We had Trunk or Treat at church tonight (Smiths Grove Baptist), and it was great! 

It is crazy to think that at this time last year, we had basically just found out we were pregnant and only our families knew. I remember looking at every cute baby and thinking 'wow, i will have one of those next year!' And here we are a year later already! 

Dustin was Captain Underpants

And we had a Hot Dog Stand. 

Joey was a Hot Dog. He did so good and all the kids loved seeing him! 

And our cute little Ketchup Packet! He did so well!

Our family of four! 

Randa hanging with the boy.

"Please- No Pictures!"

We had a blast!

Wow... 

Happy Halloween!

Me

- I am growing my hair out already. Short hair does not always equal easier. I need a good ponytail in my life.
- I have come to the realization that I will not be wearing cute jewelry for, oh let's say, the next two years of my life. I miss dangly earrings.
- This means scarves will be my only accessory... Good gift idea!
- I have always had a dry, flaky scalp. But it's on steroids now. I use the hardcore selson blue.. To no avail. Any other ideas??
- It is cold! Typing and walking don't mix in cold- my hand is freezing!
- Pinterest makes me want to bake and cook so bad! But I have no time in my life to do this...

It's Friday!!!!

Bring it on weekend!

I am sooo glad tomorrow is Friday! I feel like the work week lasts forever! We have a busy but fun weekend coming up. Tomorrow night we (Griffin and I) are walking in the Monster Dash 5k here in BG. The money goes towards adoption, and it should be a blast. I will be wearing the kid and hopefully that will keep us both warm. Then Saturday is the annual Sims Pumpkin Carving! Can't wait!

And here is a little shot of my boy passed out in a milk coma, just for fun.

Time

Dear Time,

Please stop going so fast. I would like to savor each of the moments during this phase of life, but I feel like you keep rushing by. What is your deal? Don't you know that I want to forever remember the precious smile on my son's face when I go into get him in the morning? Or that I want to sit and chat with my sexy husband on our couch forever? Why must you steal away these moments?? And It seems this year that we actually are having Fall, could you please freeze these gorgeous days and let me enjoy them? I know that tomorrow it will be January and cold and bleak. I just want to bottle these 70 degree days up! I would really appreciate if you could just slow your roll and let me drink in deep this magical time in my life. Thank you.

Sincerely,

A wife and mother who needs more time!
