Halloween's Past

I got this idea from another blogger... I liked it so much I decided to do it myself!

What are they going to be this year? You'll just have to wait and see!

Daddy is Much Cooler than Me

Ari asked me to spell his name in legos....I gave up at "R". I had no idea how to make one with legos. He asked Daddy and.... Wa La!

Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we went to a pumpkin patch in southern Indiana on the way to Louisville. To call it a pumpkin patch doesn't really do it justice, it had an apple orchard, winery, baked goods, cheese and ice cream, restaurant and a corn maze.

We took a ride in a wagon to pick our own pumpkins and bought some yummy fresh baked bread. We also walked through a corn maze that had cartoon characters posted throughout it, and at the first bend there was people dressed as Bugs Bunny and Sylvester.

They really freaked Ari out and we had to carry him through the rest of the maze! Poor Guy! Never the less we all had a great time!

My Baby

One year ago... time sure flies!

I WON!

I won the Snuggle Me Stories!!!

Twilight

I first heard of the Twilight series when the movie was coming out and all I really knew about it was that it was for teenagers and it was about vampires. So very not my thing. I don't care for any kind of horror movie or book for that matter so I completely disregarded the whole thing. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine was over and she started talking about Twilight and I asked her what I was missing because it appeared that everyone was crazy about it. She proceeded to tell me a little bit about the story and said I ought to just read the first book and see if I liked it. So I went to the library and got the first book. I think it took me all of 3 days to read all 500 pages of it. I loved it. I then had to request the next book from the library because it was checked out. To my dismay it wasn't due back until the middle of October and I couldn't wait that long! So I did what any reasonable person would do... I ordered all 4 of the books from Amazon. Yesterday they came in the mail and I am already half way through the 2nd book, New Moon.

After reading the first book I decided it wasn't so much about vampires as it was a love story. Yes, some of the main characters are vampires, but I guess I just don't notice. Maybe it will change... I haven't read all the books yet. So I guess I will join the trendy teenagers and see the movies too.

I am looking at the bright side, at least I have something to talk to Molly about now.

Snuggle Me Stories

For Easter Emilie got a book called Peek A Boo I Love You by Sandra Magasmen. It quickly became a favorite and still is.
When I started blogging I also started reading other people's blogs and I came across 2 women whose blogs I really enjoy. They both blog about their lives and families and I can really relate to them. One of them, Prairie Mama, is doing a give away for Sandra Magasmen books and I am really hoping to win them. I get an extra entry for blogging about it, so here it is!

Fresh Beat

This is Emilie's favorite TV show (The Fresh Beat Band). I have to admit the songs are quite catchy. And she LOVES to dance!

What Are You Going to be for Halloween?

I found Luke's old Brutus mask when I was getting out the fall decorations. Ari LOVED it!Emilie's thoughts on the mask.....
