Before
After
I am addicted. Let's take pictures!
We're going with the classic Halloween theme in our family this year - can you guess which kid will be which creepy classic?
{by age}
I'm almost done with the making. Just need a few accessories and we're ready. Black sparkly shoes for the girls (if I can find them) and a head wrap for Layne (that'll be day-of).
I {heart} Halloween.

Will each of you send me an email at
evonneballard {at} yahoo {dot} com?
Then we can talk payment and delivery options.
Second order of business...
(and this is for everyone reading - not just the special girls mentioned in the post title)?
Do you "follow" other blogs? What does that really mean?

...and they don't have enough parking.
Don't get me wrong - I love me some Gardner Village. But I don't think you could pay me enough money to go again when school is out. The parking lot chaos was enough to drive a girl batty.
Other than that, a good time was had by all - the cousins had fun spending the day together and running around trying to complete the witch scavenger hunt. My kids had more fun than they knew what to do with - a day at Gardner Village and "Mickey Donald's" at the park? What more could they ask for?
Mom is tired.

I’m a weirdo. I know it. Here’s why.
1. I can touch my tongue to my nose. I can even, technically, stick it UP my nose, but it’s not a talent I’m known to practice often. *ew*
2. I have the world’s deepest bellybutton (maybe not as deep as my husbands, but still). When I was pregnant (and those of you who know me know how large and in charge I was), my bellybutton is still a major innie. I secretly love that it doesn’t pop out – something about that is a little unsettling to me.
3. I know every word to almost every old school 90’s rap song made. “The Humpty Dance”? Alright stop whatcha doin, ‘cause I’m about to ruin the image and style that you’re used to…(I challenge you to a game of horseshoes!)
4. I’m obsessive about my kids noses. They HAVE to be clean or I go nuts. Cold season is the bain of my existence. That and teething.
5. Sometimes I go to bed without brushing my teeth. I know it’s a horrible habit, but sometimes it’s low enough on the priority list that I just neglect it all together.
6. I have a fear of community food. Buffets, pot lucks, etc. I don’t like not knowing a) how my food was prepared and by whom and b) who has touched, sneezed or otherwise contaminated it since it was dished out. I can overcome the fear when necessary, but I would never choose any of the above on my own.
7. I HATE Café Rio. ‘Nuff said.
I am tagging: Angie, Nan, Shannon, Jami & Chelsea
p.s. If anyone can tell me the second song reference in #3, I’ll send you a big fat kiss from West Jordan. You’re my #1 homegirl. Or boy. Do boys really read blogs?

...are backstage passes to this concert.
Honestly, how fun would that be? People watching alone would be worth the cost. *Sigh*
p.s. Don't tell my boyfriend that I want this as my Christmas gift. He might really get them and the dream might just be better as a dream. A girl's got to be practical.
All the winners are preggos (or were very recently)!
Selected by random drawing via Random.org, the winners are:
**Otherwise known as Jocelyn, Shannon & Amanda (respectively) for everyone out there who may not know**
Congratulations, girls! I plan on getting these made in the next week, so I'll be emailing or calling you to arrange for delivery.
lotsa love,
me

It's been (and will continue to be) a very busy week. Super Saturday is this weekend, so I'm a busy lady getting everything together. My cute husband cut wood for 2 hours last night and tomorrow I'll be sanding everything down to be ready to paint and assemble.
Anyway, I'll be sure to update on how it all goes.
I know there are several of you that wanted to purchase sets or individual holidays (premade - not for Saturday). If you're still interested, will you leave a comment so I get a good count? I'm excited to make them, just want to make sure I have supplies in order.
Also, anyone else almost done with their Christmas shopping yet? ;) Black Friday will be my last shopping day (besides, obviously, stocking fillers, etc.) this year and I'm feeling really proud!
Any new recruits for the big shopping day? We're known to get pretty crazy!
xoxo,
me

For introducing me to one of the funniest blogs I've read in awhile.
http://myregisblog.blogspot.com/
Taken, of course, with a grain of salt. I can't stop laughing.

Okay, so I'm curious about who reads this blog and how I know you. So here's the deal...
Post a comment w/ your name, how I know you and a link to your blog (if you have one). On October 10th I will randomly draw three names and each will receive one set of holiday blocks(found here)*.
Sound fun? Post Away!
*Sets sent randomly. One holiday for one person.
p.s. The tie tack that Beau is wearing in his kid pic says "I {heart} boxing"
