FLASHBACK FRIDAYS

'Tis the season!

FREE FUN

Here's what to do with all those catalogs that come in the mail. Tons of entertainment.

8 MONTH PHOTO

Look I'm standing!

NEW FAVORITE TOY

Why are babies obsessed with remotes. She rarely sees us with a remote in our hands so I don't know why she wants it so badly. We found an old remote and took the batteries out of it so now she plays with that.

GETTING BIG

Violet now weighs 20 lbs. Pretty sure all the fat is in her cheeks.

CURL?

Violet's been having some crazy hair days lately. It's getting pretty long and it has a mind of its own. We think she might be getting some wavy hair at the base of her neck. It's been laying like this for a while now.
Check out the profile of those cheeks. Wow!

I GOT A STICKER!

I waited 2 hours in the cold and all I got was this sticker.

SQUEALING

HALLOWEEN VIDEO

Here's a quick video I took friday night. It's kind of hard to see because it's so dark but at least you can hear the sound effects in the background. We used the program Garage Band to add all our music and sounds together.

LAST HALLOWEEN PIC

Our neighbor just sent us this photo from friday night. I love the expression.
The answer to that question is... never, get used to it.

HALLOWEEN

We had chili dinner at our neighbors before it got dark.

All the kids really got a kick out of the display. A lot of parents used our set up as a backdrop for taking pictures of their kids. We had a few scared little ones but most kids just thought it was cool and gave us advise on what we should add. Pretty funny. The weather was great and we had a huge turn out. We had a steady stream of kids from 6:30 to 9:00, and went through 4 big bags of candy. The most we've ever gone through. Everyone's comment 'Can't wait to see what you do next year', guess we'll have to keep adding on. Only 364 days till next year.



You can check out all the work in progress here.

SETTING UP

All we've got left to do is stretch some spider webs. It'll all look great at tonight when it's lit up.

SCHOOL COSTUME

Here's a pic of Violet in her costume for school. I didn't want t send her in her other monkey costume because I didn't want it to get messed up. I did add the hair and a bow because I thought it was too boring.

TRICK-OR-TREAT

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS

I'm starting Flashback Fridays. We'll see how long I can keep it going. I'll either get bored with it or run out of photos. I've got some good ones set aside. And they're not all of just Chris and I.
Since Halloween lands on this friday I thought I'd post a Halloween pic. October 31, 2000.
