For Halloween this year Mitchell saved me the trouble of sewing a new costume on my broken machine and decided to be a zombie. He really looked dead. What can I say -Mom's got skills!
Gracie was, as usual, a ballerina. The picture really doesn't do her justice (my camera refuses to focus), but she was lovely.
Noah WAS Luke Skywalker- no doubt about it! He grew his hair out all month so that it would fall properly. He still refuses to let me cut it!
This isn't the best shot in the world, But what a shot! Mitch was the tooth fairy. He was even covered in sparkles! Now I just need to figure out what I do with a Daddy sized tutu.
In other news, I STILL have hives, but my ulcer is all but healed. We were expecting a baby in June, but sadly that is no longer the case. We'll keep trying! I am really feeling the Christmas bug this year, and I can hardly wait until after Thanksgiving when Mitch will finally let me put up our tree. I started listening to Christmas music Sunday, and I'm hooked. Last week we went down to help Mike with his house, and to see Dan, and the funniest thing happened! My older brother and I officially have weird homeschooled kids! Mitch came in the living room after dinner and said that the kids were all playing politics. Mike and Dan jumped up and went to eavesdrop. They came back laughing and said that the game went as follows:Jacob: I'm Barack Obama!
Mitchell: I'm Glenn Beck!
Jacob: I'm going to take over everything!
Mitchell: How are you going to pay for it?
Jacob: I'm going to tax everybody!
Mitchell: That's a terrible idea! You're going to bankrupt the country!
You get the idea! We all died laughing and the funniest thing is that they kept going for quite awhile. Maybe many of you will think we put too much emphasis on politics at home, but I have to say I'm pleased to know that my kids pay attention to what's going on around them! In case I don't update again in time have a great holiday! Happy 11th anniversary to Mitch and I on Wednesday!
