Halloween

Well I still don't have any words, but I needed to put something new on my blog, not to cover up the last post, but to remind myself that time really does go by, and life does go on.  I racked my brain trying to come up with something, and there is still nothing there.  BUT some friends took pictures of the girls at Halloween, and so if you will forgive me for posting them so late, I know there are at least 6 people who respond to various forms of the word "grandma" or "grandpa" that will be interested in seeing them.

 This is at the ward trunk or treat.  Hallie and Hanna are ballerinas, it was kind of chilly so Hallie has pants on and they are both wearing jackets, but their tutus are still cute.  Devin is a scarecrow, you can't see his awesome patches, but he's a raggedy little scarecrow.  My costume came together in the last fifteen minutes before we left, honestly I hadn't been feeling very well and wasn't sure I would go at all, but everyone was so excited it was contagious, and we pulled this together for me.  Devin called it "misguided fairy", although many people thought I was trying to be an angel... which I thought was interesting.  You can't see it in the picture, but I have silver eye shadow on up to my eyebrows, and purple eye shadow on half way up the eyelid.  Pretty intense.

On the actual night of Halloween we went trick or treating with Hallie and Hanna's cute little buddy Cole.  She plans on marrying him someday.  A few minutes before it was time to get dressed Hallie insisted on being Clifford.  Thank goodness she still fit in it from last year.  Hanna is a ballerina again, and their buddy Cole is Professor Harold Hill, from the Music Man.  That's his hero.

    I would have guessed you were an angel of darkness or something like that. Way to pull it together last minuted. Woohoo for fancy eye shadows. Since Nick and I were sick and tired, I didn't get any glitter or eye make-up and it didn't quite feel like Halloween. But, I did wear my big cozy robe over my pajamas, and I liked that. Cute family, Amy.

    I think there is some Christmas picture potential there for the upcoming holidays!

    Avery also insisted wearing an old Halloween costume, but hers was from two years ago. She was an angel. A scandalous one since it was skin tight and extremely short. Kids.

    What I could see of your eye shadow was awesome. And that Harold Hill costume is fantastic.

ThanksGIVEaway

This giveaway is now CLOSED. In a week we will find ourselves feasting with family and friends.  We will reflect on and share with each other the good things in life that we are grateful for.  And I think that's great, to give thanks. My heart lately though has been leaning in a slightly different direction, I've felt an emphasis on a different part of the name of next week's holiday.  My heart is filled with gratitude to people who have reached out in love, sympathy, and support when they see others in need..  Those who have voiced prayers, and kind thoughts and words on our behalf, and on behalf of people seeking comfort everywhere.  The people who have watched children, sent flowers, made meals, and done so much more to try and ease burdens.  And my thankful heart wants to GIVE back to these people, as a small way of saying Thank You. So today I present you with my ThanksGIVEaway.  You know those big fancy blogs that are sponsored by corporations and have big fanc

Come Take a Tour

This is the longest post of all time, but that's because of all the pictures. So I know I shouldn't let myself get carried away since we still have the inspection to go, but... I feel like we've won half the battle, so I will show you pictures now. This backyard is one of the  main reasons I wanted this house.  It is on a corner lot, and it is really quite large.  It extends just as far off to the left.  Here you can sort of see the nice swingset we've inherited also, which Hallie will love as it has swings and a slide. This is the playhouse in the backyard.  It's about nine square feet inside, and has electrical set up and in the spring/summer you can tell it is landscaped.  My girls will be a little spoiled. This is the first thing you see when you walk in the house, aside from the stairs which you can barely see in the left corner.  It is a formal dining, but we may use it as a formal sitting room. This is the front door, with the stairs leading up (

Which One?

Look, I know I ask for your help a lot, but you guys are just so good at being helpful, and I am so bad at making decisions. I have about ten posts that I have wanted to write, but I spent a ridiculously silly amount of time on these pictures instead, and now I can't decide which is better.  That's your cue to step up and say you'd love to help, so that I can free up my brain to tell you all the other things I've been wanting to tell you. (Oreos are involved, so get excited.) What I do is I take pictures that represent the words of the song I am teaching and then I hold up the page for the line and they (hopefully) remember the words and know what to sing, until they have the song memorized. I do this because about half the kids are too young to read, or read very well.  Now you know what I do at church on Sunday. The line of the song in question that I have to teach the kids is "for all His creations of which I'm a part".  Originally I just took
