A Happy Halloween

We had a wonderful Halloween.
I loved that it was on a Saturday this year. It seemed like we had so much time to do make-up and get the costumes just right. We live in the country so we didn't do the traditional trick or treating, instead we got together at the church and enjoyed a "WINDY" trunk or treat!

Here are the kids costumes.
Isn't Will a scary Vampire?



I thought Emma was such a pretty "Good Witch!" She loved every minute of getting her makeup done. This little girl is so full of life and energy and she is growing and changing so much these days. I love every minute with her.
For those of you who have little girls and haven't seen BARBIE and the 3 Musketeers, you just have to see it. Maddi wanted to be Barbie, the Musketeer. We had so much fun doing Barbie style makeup and hair. Maddi is doing piano and ballet and jazz with her Aunt, Miss Melissa's School of Dance. She is keeping quite busy and loving school and the joys of reading. I can't believe that she will be baptized in less than a year. Daughters are such a blessing and fill life with such joy!
Now....introducing:
ETHAN THE MAGICIAN
This costume just suited Ethan's personality so well. He dressed up in it every day for a week before Halloween. I will post another picture of him pulling a bunny out of his hat, it is quite the trick! Ethan has started Kindergarten this year and is loving every minute of it. He has started reading and is such a smart little man. More than that he loves life and every day with him is a gift. I love my little "gamer" man, or should I say my little E-Man!
Will wanted to be a Vampire for Halloween and I loved that he wanted me to do his makeup so that he could really look the part. He was such a good sport and had a lot of fun with those fake fangs! He loved running around with his friends, several of whom were also Vampires!

Now we are just trying to keep the candy intake down so that we can stay healthy and avoid all the sickness that is going around. WE HOPE YOU ALL HAD A FABULOUSLY FRIGHTFUL HALLOWEEN!

Bread Day

As you can see by my countdown I don't have much time left until I will have a sweet little baby in my arms. I am so excited to meet this precious little one, boy or girl. I have been feeling like it will be a girl, and Brian is pretty confident it is a boy.....to say the least we are a house divided! All the girls voting GIRL and all the boys voting BOY ! All my other babies were born at either 38 or 39 weeks so it could be anytime really. So.... today I decided to be ambitious and have a bread day . A friend of mine shared a new bread recipe with me and as most of you know I LOVE MAKING HOMEMADE BREAD, no store bought bread in this country house! And so today I decided to make a big batch to hopefully last until I have this baby. My friend even shared a secret on how to make BAGELS. Mmmmmm, they are so delicious. I think my favorite part about making bread is watching my kids come home from school on bread day and hearing....."Mommy it smells so good," "You made ...

still no baby yet! isn't this a great one of me, wish I could say I am making that face because I am in labor! Just a few round pictures of me, before I POP! Yes I am really trying to look happy and now you are all forced to make MANY comments about how great I look, how tiny I am AND SO ON! I think there must be something up with my due dates. My original due date was April 10th....so I guess I could have another week or more of pregnancy to endure. However, my ultrasound date was 3 weeks 7 days off so the DR decided to bump my date forward to April 1st, 2009! I feel like my body is trying to surrender and yet this baby is not quite ready to come into the world yet! Gotta trust the process I guess, baby will come when he/she is good and ready! I decided to remove the baby gadget that counted down the days so we all could be surprised together without counting DAYS! I for one, am going a little crazy with all the "what if's!" So.....wish me luck....say a little pray...
