costume bragging (friend, sisters, brother-in-law and such)

thank you for being a friend

more fun

setting the spooky stage

halloween cookies (still going strong on the oct 31 posts)

who ya gonna call?

no one. our friends called us to decorate cookies!

our completely normal friends. see?

these were for lily's preschool party. I cut the ring part off of these spiders because they wouldn't push into the cookies very easily otherwise and they needed to work easily because I'm committed to letting my 4-year-old help. didn't she do wonderfully?

witch finger cookies for our home halloween party. half of the kids wouldn't get near them. I honestly couldn't bring myself to eat the fingernail part.

max and lilyyyyyy....lily and max

voluntarily overscheduled

pictures, halloweening, family time, preschool, parties, fun.

a week ago:



happy to report most of that has now been accomplished.

does anyone else suffer from the disorder where during a week like that one (and that didn't even account for teething, helping grandma, groceries, babysitting and such) they suddenly feel the need (like pushing a baby out need) to tackle projects that have been sitting there for 4 months?

well one afternoon I put up these wall stickers (from walmart.com but gone now....why not make your own?)

hey blog friends, I'm back :)
