i still dress up or Halloween part 2

 a ghost with the most and honest Abe

 a Halloween hodgepodge

 most of you know that i like to do Halloween themes. sadly, that time has come and gone. no more. no more. no more...

my baby Cate as a cow. i missed out on getting a picture of my baby Emma. she was dressed as the world's cutest pumpkin. i am also glad to say that the cow costume was Brenton's and the pumpkin was Kylee's. i love getting use out of one time only type things. BTW, anyone is allowed to use my wedding dress (it has made its way through three brides).

DADDY DAUGHTER

on Saturday night Kylee got to go on a daddy daughter date. it was a Halloween party. Walt is Abraham Lincoln and Kylee is a vampiress. in the meantime, i took Brenton and Tessa to see puss n boots. good times all around. Tessa actually did really good at the movie (i was worried about her).

Me so tired

I will get a post of interest up sometime soon. Just not this instant. Halloween kills you as a parent. It's a love/hate relationship for me.

not about my kids

it's all about ME. WONDERFUL GLORIOUS ME! actually it is late Sunday night and i have finished Tessa's birthday/Halloween bash. when i was getting her "Halloween/birthday balloons and making her cemetery cupcakes", i started wondering how much longer she is going to let me get away with this. anywhoo, busy busy weekend, and i am starting with Friday...

 we were invited to a 1920's murder mystery surprise birthday party. no kids allowed, they were left at grandma and grandpa's.

come on, how cute do we look? i actually hate doing costumes halfway, i have to do the FULL EFFECT! go big or go home. and since no one believes him (we had everyone saying that it couldn't be real all night) IT IS ALL FULL ON REAL BEARD.

my sisters and mom were in love with the hairdo. i actually thought i did a pretty darn good job and may just use this look again.

so, i ask everyone, HOW DID I NOT WIN BEST COSTUME?! i had the hair, the makeup (thank you MAC), the dress. i am mad.

a little sumthin she is trying out

 Tessa getting ready to go get her picture taken for PICTURE DAY

this was when the kids were off of school. watching TV. this close to each other. really. this is how they watch TV.

either sick or too tired

or i could say too busy. just blame my slacking of the blog on one of those three things. in the meantime enjoy pictures of what we have been up to starting with...

 the "mom and dad pumpkin"-a spooky graveyard

 dracula-the eye fell out

 a scary pumpkin face

 a silly pumpkin face

scary pumpkin standing next to an ACTUAL pumpkin head

i set myself up

you guys, kylee threw up all night on friday. we think she had food poisoning of some sort. here are two funny brenton moments for you though.
1. tessa went into kylee's room and touched her, when she came back out brenton said- GREAT NOW I HAVE TO AVOID BOTH OF YOU.
2. kylee took one step into brenton's room and he freaked out saying-YOU ARE GETTING YOUR GERMS IN MY ROOM. GET OUT.

that's my boy. and i am still standing by the scariest movie he will ever see is CONTAGION! this is what i am calling the cold i have right now. CONTAGION. cause it just won't go away, although i haven't died yet, so that's a good thing.

health isn't even an option

we have been sick for around a month now. at one point during the past month, one of us has been sick. once that person starts to get better, another one gets taken down. we have the cold/flu from hell and it scares me. speaking of scary, the three (soon to be four) year old's favorite pastime is going to the halloween stores and seeing all the scary stuff. i have been running around trying to find a hat for walter's halloween costume and she has been loving it. what's funny is when other little kids come into the store and start screaming, tessa comes and when i tell her it's time to go, she starts screaming. tonight walter asked kylee to clean her room and she replied, "you're putting too much pressure on me". SCARY! brenton still thinks the scariest thing in the whole world is throwing up. which no one has done. but he is still worried about it. but is hasn't happened in quite awhile. but there is still a possibility. YES BRENTON EVERYONE COULD THROW UP RIGHT NOW AT THE SAME TIME! i don't actually say that to him. i just think it in my head and smile and give him a hug. the thing with this cold/flu contagion is that it can come around for a second round. sometimes life can just be sucky.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD, EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T READ THIS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

fix you

first off, it was the husband's birthday yesterday. happy birthday. he is 36. also, lying in bed being sick over the weekend, made me rediscover my addiction to etsy. i mean all night long, page after page, of crazy insane handmade products. it kills me.

in all seriousness though, this song has been running through my head over and over. it is how i feel about my son right now. i am also sure it is how my parents (and husband) have felt about me. if you all didn't know, apparently, i have issues too. i know, big shock.

WTF to THIS

THIS is also the reason i couldn't do a post yesterday. THIS took out our internet service for some reason. thanks snow. I LOVE YOU!

POLKA DOTS

had to share this first

funnest dog park ever

Yep

We still have sickness lurking around...

Kylee got fever sick but, is finally better...

Tessa now has has hives and we don't know what to do.

Literally, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

On a final happy note, I got my camera back.

Pictures of the "new room" will be up tomorrow.
