I know we are now past Halloween, but due to sickness, we had to postpone the grandkid party to after the holiday. The kids didn't know (well Mitt probably did) and were happy to get dressed up again in their costumes and have a party.

Halloween Fun!
Get ready for lots of pictures! We had such a fun weekend and it started out at the law school on Friday afternoon.
I had a mask for Molly that had a cat face with ears that went over her eyes, but I figured there was no way she'd wear it (no worries, it was from the $1 bins at Target). So I made these little clippy ears and at the last minute decided she needed some whiskers and a nose. She thought it was great! I already had the onesie but decided to sew on a felt kitty.

Funny memory
Since it's fall and we've had a whole bunch of leaves (as well as snow), I was remembering the other day something my sister Emily and I did when we were little. We took our big black trash bins, filled it with some leaves, jumped inside with the lid down and then pushed each other around the backyard! Ha ha! We thought it was so fun. Now I think, how nasty!
This afternoon I'm taking Molly over to the law school for a little trick or treating. It should be fun and I know she'll love it this year. Later tonight we're attending a Halloween party that my brother and SIL are putting on and it's a dinner/murder mystery! It's going to be fun! Pics to come!

Etsy
Ok so Etsy has EVERYTHING! I do not lie! I'll be honest with you...if I have an idea of something to make, I search it in etsy because guaranteed someone has already thought of it and made it! Then I borrow the idea :)
Tonight I found the following on etsy. What a great idea! Just type in headboard wall decal in the search box to see these beauties. I don't have a headboard (or a bedroom set for that matter), so one of these would be so cool!

Aren't they pretty? I have a mirror above my bed, but one of these may look even better and since we moved all of Molly's things to her room, the wall opposite our bed is completely empty. So maybe we could move the mirror to the other wall (and pull out some other pictures which I've been meaning to do)...hmmm we'll see. I may have to convince Justin.

Watch this!
If you haven't seen this video yet, you MUST watch it! It's really short and too funny for everyone not to see it. It's a four year old boy reciting the coach's pep talk to the 1980 hockey team in the movie "Miracle".

Can you say paranoia?
Tell me if I'm wrong, but don't you think that people are going a bit CRAZY when it comes to the swine flu right now? Example: I arrived at 6 am at the health dept. this morning (ok I know that makes me sound crazy) and waited 2 hours in a very long line to be told that they ran out, oh about 50 or so people in front of me! Wasn't there a better way? I think if I weren't pregnant, I wouldn't be quite as worried about getting it. Also add in that my two nephews, niece, BIL and SIL have all gotten the swine flu this past week.
Molly has been lucky. She had a well child check this past week and was able to get her flu shot (well she had the nasal spray actually) and a couple of immunizations she needed. After I decided to try out the health dept. and see if she could get her swine flu shot as well. We walked right in, without a wait! It was great other than the fact that she realized what was going on and started to cry before she actually got the shot :( I felt like a bad mom, but I'm really being a good mom, right?
Anyway, I guess eventually I will get one somewhere, I just wish they were doing this all in a more organized and efficient way! I'll get off my soapbox now! PS Brooke, thanks for waiting in line with me even though it was for nothing!!

Fall leaves
The other day Becky and her girls came over and after our walk the girls discovered the leaves on the driveway.And they loved every second! I'm hoping as the prego one in the house that I won't be involved in leaf duty this year :) we'll see!
