>All Hallows’ Eve!

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

>

Happy Halloween and Reformation Day! We had such nice weather for Trick-or-Treating tonight. It was still pretty chilly so I had to dress the girls a little warmer but considering how it has been up here, it was great!

I’m ignoring the prohibition on “tons of pictures” for this post cuz we got so many cute ones!


Phil’s little inner engineer really got to shine when carving our pumpkins!

I was just the clean out/up crew.

Clara as the sweetest UT cheerleader ever!

Lily as the sweetest fairy ever!

We took the girls downtown to Trick-or-Treat our local businesses. (Sorry, this picture has been modified to spare all the horror that is me. Apparently sunglasses add 100 pounds…I know it couldn’t be all the “Skinny Cows” I’ve been eating lately.)

We stopped by the Munderlohs to see how we made out. I say “we” knowing you all know I mean Phil.



The pumpkins turned out really well!

This one was my favorite.

Ok, time for bed!

Halloween Blues.

Thursday, October 29th, 2009


I called my mom today to whine about living where it will be perpetually COLD on Halloween night. Where it’s cold babies have to wear coats and probably hats if they have good mamas, neither of which do much for an adorable and well planned Halloween costume. So we’re doomed to only dress up as Molly the Mountain Climber or Susy the Snowman if we want to stay warm and be able to show off. I should have just gone with one of those woolly baby suit costumes that always looked way too warm while I was in Texas. They’re cute, easy and key word here….WARM. Oh well. I’ll be better prepared next year I hope!

Halloween Cometh!

Thursday, September 17th, 2009


Well, October is coming and with it one of my favorite ‘holidays’, Halloween! Which means time to be cute and creative and come up with something adorable to dress my girls up in. Last year was a chance stroke of brilliance but what to do this year? I wanted to dress Lily as an Elephant since that has been the first animal sound she could make and she thinks all animals are Elephants until recently they are becoming Horses, but I’m not sure how I’d pull off making ears and with my limited amount of time to devote to it I don’t want to do a lame-o job. So an Elephant might be out, same thing with the Monkey idea I had for Clara. So perhaps Pooh and Piglet? That might be easiest though I’ll still have to get pretty creative and do some shopping. I’ll have to go through their clothes this week and see if anything jumps out at me like last year.

Ideas:
Pooh and Piglet
Chicken and an Egg
Rag dolls
Hobos
Farmer and a Cow

**Update** I’ve found the greatest costume and idea for the girls. Bring it on Halloween!

>More from Easter Sunday.

Easter morning was a pretty busy for us. We had a service at 6:30 am. Lily and I were not too happy about that, but we made it. Our choir made its big debut in both of our morning services! Phil preached here then went out to St. John’s to preach there and then rushed back for our second service at 10:30. He was a very tired pastor after all of that! Weslie and Kristina went to church there with Phil to meet that congregation since they have been supporting Weslie in Seminary.

We also had confirmation this morning!


Easter baskets for everyone.

For Easter dinner I made roast with potatoes and carrots! It was very very good.

Lily explores her Easter basket. Phil and I explored her chocolate bunny!

Phil cooked for us Sunday night. It was “Build Your Own Nachos” night!

I’ll let Phil explain this picture when he gets a chance. I know you can’t wait, so stay tuned!
