LATE Halloween post...and other stuff

Halloween was fun this year! We actually stayed in our neighborhood! We didn't really know what to expect, how many kids, etc, etc. When it first got dark, my mom and I were like, hmmmm...maybe we won't get ANYBODY!! And we'll have to eat all this candy!! hahaha...but after a while, they all started coming and we only had a tiny bit of candy by the end of the night! The men took the kids just once around the block, and they had PLENTY-o-candy that's for sure!!!

*Warning* I am NOT in to costumes or halloween....so the kids are lucky to have even been in costumes!! hahahaha

Cute Abby and G-ma!
The TrOoPs!!!! (Gee, When it comes to pictures...does Rebekkah take after her G-Pa or what??? Yeah, thanks for that one dad!!!!)
Miss Rebekkah requested (more then once) Tinkerbell...cheap mom got it off of E-Bay!


Abby--the nice witch...the hat came from the neighbors and she just wore her black christmas dress from last year! I splurged on the tights and picked them up at target for $2.99

Walker, our little "Texas Ranger" cowboy! He had a cute vest on...but REFUSED to actually keep it on. So, this is what you get!!!

Dear old dad set up the tent and they camped out back!!!
Grandpa did take the girls for a hike saturday morning, but I don't have pictures of that because GRANDPA can't find his USB chord to actually download the pictures! (hmmm...old age???) We had a fun weekend and were so happy G-ma and G-pa got to stay with us! (At times I think the kids would much rather live with them, then here!!!!)
In baby news...I will officially be 6 months this coming saturday...so here are recent pictures of the "bump"


Recent cravings include:

  1. starbucks hot chocolate
  2. toast (homemade bread of course!) with good for me peanut butter!
  3. Oreos
  4. veggies and ranch dressing
  5. Oreos
  6. tortillas
  7. Oreos

I have my midwife appointment next Tuesday. My cute hubby and I have a bet going on how much weight I've gained. I say 3 pounds since the last appointment, making my grand total at 5.6 pounds. HE says, 1 pound since last appointment..making my grand total at 3.6 pounds. I'm thinking I'm going to win this bet....especially with what my cravings have included this past month!!! hahahahaha...I still need to figure out what we're betting for exactly! My clothes are getting tighter and tighter! In fact, I have only ONE skirt left that fits me for church. Yikes!

In other "going on news"....we are SO excited to be going up to Moab for Thanksgiving this year!!! We have gone back and forth, back and forth with the idea...but have worked it out where we can go! My whole family will be going and we are all so excited!!! I don't know if I'm ready to FREEZE my butt off or not, but it's going to be a great time and we can't wait!!!!

My kids are out of school tomorrow...and they have the idea in their head that we are putting up Christmas decorations! The tree and everything!!! I have not yet decided...but am kind of leaning towards the idea! Since they will be home and we have nothing else to do, and since we won't be here Thanksgiving weekend to put them up...we just might do it! I know it's early, but I'd rather do it now, then later. We'll see how I feel. I'm excited for the season to be here, I really LOVE this time of year, especially the WEATHER.

Things I'm looking forward to this week:

  • Bike ride with the kids tomorrow!
  • possible putting up of decorations...hmmm...decisions, decisions
  • trip to the park
  • some good running days or possibly walking!
  • tree ornament making with g-ma on friday and a sleepover!
  • going to the 3day walk and cheering on the walkers

Jenny said...

Love the belly. I say 1 1/2 pound weight gain. Costumes look great! We're excited to see you guys! Hopefully it won't be too cold. We'll get the fire rip roaring. (when that happens, we have to open doors and windows because of the heat it produces) It's quite the seesaw.

Christine said...

Cute! I wish I could have seen your kids in the their costumes that night. Oh, well. I'm glad we were able to come over and see you. It was really fun.

sara said...

I love your new family pictures!!!!!

Seriously - you're killing me, but I finally see a bump. You only look like 3 mo. prego though!! :)

How fun you are going to Moab for Thanksgiving!!! Think of us when you go through Flag!
We our going to my sis-in-law's in CA (we just decided today) and I am getting so excited!

cute halloween pics and beautiful family pics on the side. i still can't decide if you have a bump....looks more like a bloat(which is smaller than a bump!:) hey, i saw in my target ad that they have oreo cookies that are red inside(peppermint cream) thought it was so cute for the holidays. i love that you're considering putting your tree up...just get ready for the "how much longer til christmas" ?'s from the kiddos and walker taking the ornaments by storm.

I love the new family pictures!!!! I agree with Nate and Jenny, I don't think you gained more than a pound and a half, after all the running you have done your metabolism is too fast to gain any more than a pound at a time. Especially when you look as little as you do. Talk about all baby!
Love ya! Leah
