Too Early.

Whoever came up with Daylight Saving Time beginning and/or this ending DID NOT have children! Babies waking up at 6 am is not very nice. Not the best time to have to hit the ground running. At least this morning I woke up and got my teeth brushed before the loud crying and the jabbering started. I feel very sorry for Mama’s whose babies were already up at 6 and now up at 5. We’re in for some LONG days.
On the other hand we have a beautiful sunrise this morning and we may get to eat breakfast as a family, migas anyone? And hey, I may take that morning walk after all since I have an extra hour to do morning housework!

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!

Some of our neighbors are moving and offered to give us their old swing set. With a little cleaning and some tightening up it’ll be good as newish and I think the girls will love it when they get a little bigger! We’re going to get a baby swing to hang for Clara and see how Lily does on the big girl swing. Thankfully we have really soft grass.


Halloween Blues.

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!
