6 for the price of 1!

This blog post needs to be a 6-in-1 post, because we've been sick and in survival mode so I haven't had a chance to blog at all. If you've been missing my blog posts you're in for a treat!! :D

First, Brad went to Las Vegas for 4 days. I was scared and sure missed the cuddles but it was nice to not have to worry about dinner and black socks on the floor and being able to read as long as I wanted at night! While he was gone the kids had a playdate with two of their favourite friends, Brooklyn and Jacob. I couldn't believe Breanna actually wanted to be a princess, YAY!


I also filmed this little video of Breanna playing and Brad and I can't stop laughing about it.


Then it was Halloween. I felt crafty this Halloween and so the kids and I made egg carton spiders, saran wrap ghosts, sock vampire bats (with Candace) and Pretzel ghosts. The kids liked dipping the chocolate:

Jesse said they didn't look like ghosts, but whatever they are I think they're cute!!


Trick or treating was a great success! Until Jesse threw up all over our friend's doorstep. Yep, we all had stomach flu. Yuck!
Jesse says "Engardio Lavioso" or something to cast a spell and make you float!


EWOK! I looooove Ewoks, but especially this one. See our saran wrap ghosts in the background?

Breanna made the cutest little Laura (at her preschool Halloween Party) and no I didn't make this costume, you know, as much of a sewing genius as I am...(can't believe how many people have asked me that)

Finally, it snowed!! Every year I am so excited for snow! Not this year, I don't know why. Breanna was excited though and first thing after we sent Jesse off to school she wanted to get in her snowsuit and go play. She was out there for almost an hour, and then when Jesse got home they both went out AGAIN and played for almost 2 hours!! Then I was much more excited for snow. We'll see how long it lasts.

  1. Love that video! She sang her entire story, and with so much enthusiasm! So cute!

    But I didn't see any pictures of the vampire bats. As Jesse would say, "why did you take pictures of all the stuff you made and not mine?" :)

  5. Wow - that was a Martha Stewart Halloween! You guys sure know how to carve a pumpkin. I love Breanna's postmodern poetry. She's a little genius. :)
