A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words... And I Have Two!!

BEFORE




AFTER



I cut off over 20 inches of hair!!! It will soon be on its way to Locks of Love. (This is the second time that I have donated, but the first time wasn't as much, 13 inches.)

Not that I look like her else wise, but I think this is a total Victoria Beckham haircut. What do you think?

Trick or Treat

Michael LOVED trick or treating. (Honestly, what kid wouldn't?) It didn't take him long at all to realize that all he had to do was knock on a door and he would get some candy. In fact, he liked it so much, that when we were Trick-or-Treating at Nate's work he decided to dig in and ate a Hershey's Kiss. This was bad for two reasons... One, he is allergic to milk, so couldn't have the chocolate. Two, he didn't take off the foil wrapper, and he ate it. It took him all of about 30 seconds before he threw it up. I was nervous the night was going to go down hill from there and that he would be too sick to trick or treat, but he recovered quickly.


Notice the gun? It's mine that goes with my pirate costume. Michael wouldn't put it down. But hey, what Pooh Bear doesn't wield a gun??? He loved checking out people's Halloween decorations, and especially all the Jack-O-Lanterns that people had set up. It was a fun night and Nate loved answering the door in his costume to scare all the kids!!!

Halloween Party

Nate and I hosted our first party in our new house, and we had lots of fun doing it!

Nate's costume was amazing. As you can see, he was the headless butler! Michael and Madison were the best friend pair, Pooh and Piglet. My pirate costume was popular, as two of my nieces were pirates too! Nate's brother won the Best Costume award. (He is the escaped convict that you can see lurking in the background.)


One of Nate's friend showed up late, Butt his costume was great! It had hair in all the wrong places and was disgusting. That is what made it so good!


We had a fun night and missed everyone who wasn't there! Happy Halloween!

Michael and Pooh

Michael loved his costume and liked wearing it a lot. The only problem is that it is made to keep kids warm when they are outdoors trick-or-treating. Indoors it is like a sauna and our already skinny son sweats off the pounds while wearing it around. But he does make a perfect and a dang cute Pooh. I figured for him to be Pooh Bear was only apropriate, since he said "Pooh Bear" way before he even said "mama".
