Party

So, this past weekend we had a Halloween Party. Justin was supposed to be there...but he's working over on the East Coast & being all responsible & whatnot. I made the most AWESOME costume I've ever made in my entire life for this party. It took weeks of scouring the internet for *just the right* things to piece together for this stellar ensemble. Two pairs of Spanx and one spandex unitard later, we have this:

that's right...MY LITTLE PONY. Since I probably weigh like, 8 pounds less than Aretha Franklin does, I'm not really all into the "skank" look for Halloween these days....Spandex is even pushing it...but, in the end, it all worked out, and for one night I got to look like my favorite childhood toys.

Pumpkin

We took a little trip to the Pumpkin Patch on Sunday afternoon. This year, we decided to go to the Taladega Frights Patch. It was pretty cool...they have a giant corn maze, bounce houses and slides, and lots and LOTS of pumpkins. Reese was so amazed by all the piles of pumpkins that he could hardly contain himself. He found "the one" and kept picking it up and dropping it...He'd leave it somewhere, run off, then come back, pick it up...drop it. It was pretty funny :)

Happy Halloween!

Last Saturday I went with my friend Liz (who also babysits Reese while I'm at work) and her boys to get Halloween pictures taken at the Picture People. This is Reese's first Halloween (not to mention my FAVORITE holiday) so I was hoping everything would go smoothly and we'd have lots of cute pictures. Turns out, Reese isn't too fond of his penguin costume. The entire inside is lined with parachute-like material, which = Baby not happy.....YEAH. He wasn't feelin' it AT ALL. We did some of Reese by himself and some with Liz's boys, Braeden & Brody. Out of the million pictures that got taken, these were the only four that came out......seriously. That's okay though, because that means I didnt spend gobs of money on pictures :) Enjoy!
