Only a few days late...

Here are some of my favorite pictures from Halloween. We had a small Halloween party at our house, then took my niece and Connor trick-or-treating. We ended the night visiting my mom at the hospital where she works and then checking in on Uncle Tommy who was in ICU, due to complications with his diabetes.

Here is Red and the Big Bad Wolf.

(Shockingly, the Wiggles are on. They are Colin's newest obsession.)

The wolf did not care for the hood.

And also quickly discovered the zipper,

allowing him to try to strip down to his diaper.

I tried to get her to carry a basket, but she insisted on the lovey.

The only group photo of my kids.

Belle remarked to Curious George that even

though her boyfriend was supposed to be a beast,

a monkey would do.

Confessions From A Work-At-Home Mom said…

Just stumbled upon your blog, and had to comment on what cute kids you have! I love all the costumes... but I'm especially jealous of your Halloween decor. I always want to decorate the house like that, but my DH says I go too over the top at Christmas, and he won't let me add another holiday to the mix!

Book Review...and a Giveaway!!!

I was lucky enough to win an ARC of When the Rogue Returns from Sabrina Jeffries herself! I couldn't wait to read it. After reading the first book in The Duke's Men series, What the Duke Desires , I was excited to see that this next book was about Victor Cale. In When the Rogue Returns , Victor Cale is headed to Scotland to investigate a woman, Sofie Franke. He has his suspicions that this woman is actually Isabella, his wife who disappeared on him ten years before. He has spent the last decade searching to bring her to justice after she stole the royal jewels and left him to behind to deal with the authorities. Isabella Cale, now known as Sofie Franke, has built a new life for herself and her ten-year old daughter after her husband ran off with the royal jewels. Are you intrigued yet? Victor and Isa's first meeting was great! Both blame the other for the missing jewels, and both are greatly suspicious of the other's motives. Despite ...

I'm not a perfect mom, I just play one on my blog

I read a blog recently that talked about food. The mom was very careful to say she buys farm-fresh food, only organic fruits and veggies, blah blah blah. Then she added how she fed her child a hot dog. But she couldn't just say hot dog. She had to specify it was nitrate free, turkey based, something or other. But why? Who cares? Is she so afraid of being judged for giving her child a real hot dog that she must waste precious words of her post making it damn clear that it was a super-healthy hot dog? Let me stand up and be the first to say I feed my kids real hot dogs. Well all-beef ones, but still. I didn't cloth diaper, not because I don't care about the environment, but because I'm lazy, and it's gross to me. However, I am planning on buying some cloth pull-ups because it's cheaper......... I didn't exclusively breast-feed, and my kids turned out fine. My kids have ketchup almost every night at dinner. My kids eat McDonalds. ...

A Spooky Celebration

Far off in a field, in central Illinois, there lies a patch of pumpkins of the magical kind. No one knows where they come from; they appear every October, yet no one ever plants a seed. Rare in nature is the person who finds this field. It is said that only those with a touch of magick in their hearts can find this place. As you walks delicately through the vines, you cannot help but feel a slight tremor upon nearing this particular pumpkin: Stooping down to take a peek, you hear the faint humming of a song... What could that be? A party? A celebration? A wedding! The guests are arriving: The bouquet is prepared: Guests are seated: The "best men" take their places: And now, the moment they've all been waiting for.... Let the celebration begin! But first, a wedding blessing: Deep peace of the running wave to you. Deep peace of the flowing air to you. Deep peace of the quiet earth to you. Deep peace of the ...
