Halloween (barely) @ The (S&H) Holliday House


Halloween was kind of pathetic at our house which is why it didn't occur to me (very much at least) to post pictures. Also, I suck at posting. Someone needs to teach me how to set up text and pics in the cool way Kim does. I'm not even sure these pictures are going to work- my Picasa is jacked up (indirectly Richy's fault, of course!). Anyhooo, Spencer really rose to the occasion with fake hair spirit gummed and all, but the rest were half hearted, or no hearted as in the case of Ethan. Ethan struggled with the question of whether he was too old or not to trick or treat. The fact that he just had two cavities filled tipped the scale in favor of "too old"- so no costume this year. Gavin took his costume from the dress up box. Not too original, but it saved his poor mother from headache. However, his costume was a bit big and Batman's girdle-thing looks like a diaper to me- kinda funny. It was cold so Skye wore a turtleneck and nice thick multi colored striped tights underneath her Cinderella dress. Secretly I dubbed her the "Punky Brewster" Cinderella. I'm amazed she even has a half smile here. She was not a happy camper the whole night (or, more fittingly said, she was not a perky Punky).The minute she came home from trick or treating she threw up and went to bed. We figured that was a good idea. Everone else was in bed by 8:30. Sean and I were sawing logs by 10:00. Happy Halloween!

Woody's Halloween

OK, even though most of you have probably seen these pictures of my kids on my family's blog... I'm posting them here to encourage you to do the same!!!! I mean, really the reason I started this blog is so you could all post pictures of your cute families, we miss you!

So here you have it... the cutest Minnie Mouse ever... (who is now the biggest candy monster ever). "Oh Toodles! Which of our mousekatools will help my aunts and uncles post pictures on the blog?" Just thought I'd add that "mousekatools" must be a word, no red line appeared when I typed it...A rough and tough pirate... "Shiver me timers, ahoy there mateys! I want to see pictures of me cousins! Argh!"

Luke Skywalker on Tattooine (He insisted on the gun, but I guess I don't remember the movie that well. I don't recall the gun). Said in a whinee Luke voice, "But I was planning on looking at pictures of my cousins costumes!"
A young Obi-Wan Kenobi. "You will post pictures of your kids in their costumes."

Looking forward to the next installment at the Calendar! Love y'all!

By the way, if anyone is interested, we'll be arriving in Utah December 18 and probably leaving around December 30-31. We're so super duper excited to see everyone! And for those who don't know Mom is scheduled to have knee surgery December 21, just a heads up.

Bear Lake 2010

In an effort to make it look like we actually vacation (and to console myself for NOT being in the happiest place on earth) I bitterly present-Bear Lake 2010! 

Kids Playing in Sand



And babies eating sand.
  

I don't think she liked it.  

Sometimes you just can't fight genetics...

Jack absolutely insisted on wearing THESE socks with his sandals!  Richy, I blame you.  
Kind of looks like a poster child for Panguitch, doesn't he?  ;)

I'm Trying to Make it Look Like We Did Something This Summer



This is our Summer 2010 excursion to Afton. I was trying to find a picture to represent everyone in the family. This is when I realized I had very few of Spencer. Poor middle child! I will try to do better in the future...
