Trick or Treat

We decided to have an early Halloween party this year since my two best friends, Kim and Crystal are both due to have babies on October 27th, and most likely will have them anyday. Our first order of business was dressing the kids up in costumes and taking pictures, which was mostly a disaster. This video was really the only picture we got of all three kids in their costumes and you can't even really see all of them very well......

We used Maxi pads to pad Carson's shoulders up so he looked like he was wearing football pads.... which our friend Chris didn't know or else he wouldn't have gone anywhere near them trying to adjust Carson's costume...

Carson, Jada, and Haylie had a great time tryingto "help" us carve the pumpkins, eat the seeds, and throw away the debris.
Carson and Jada enjoyed a romantic walk on the water together:)
WARNING: BARE PREGNANT STOMACH SKIN AHEAD, PROCEED WITH CAUTION................

Yes, that's right, since Crystal and Kim are potentially having Halloween babies, Crystal came up with the idea to paint our stomachs like pumpkins, it was pretty funny...... and a little embarassing........ we let the boys do it.

Happy Halloween!!!

Car shopping

So our life has been mostly boring this month, as everyone can tell by my lack of exciting blogs. Our main excitement, if you can call it that, this week has been the search for a new car. Since we are now going to have two kids in carseats and we are in need of a new car anyways since our other two are rather elderly, we decided we would need something bigger. We have gone back and forth, scoured many a used/new car lot, which means we've been stalked by car salespeople of all kinds (sorry to any of you who may be in this profession). In any case, I have been avoiding the inevitable..... becoming a mom who drives a minivan. I was hoping to get by and get an SUV or something instead, but it is not looking very promising. In the meantime, I am enjoying every last second of my little four door Charlie car that looks much less momish.

What do you think? Any suggestions?

Rick on the other hand decided that for the same price we could get a much more sensible car that would last a long time.......

What a nice dream anyway!!!
