Amelia has been begging me for WEEKS to get out the Christmas books.  I put them away and we rotate through books, we have that many.  It is a special treat to get out new books, and I love when we do.

So, today I decided to finally give in and get the books for her.  As she is sitting upstairs engrossed in Curious George's Christmas, I realized I have yet to post any pictures of my kiddos on Halloween!!  ACK!

So, here they are...

The VERY Grouchy Ladybug

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III

Mama and her girlies

That is Libby's smile.  I am not even kidding.  Cracks me up like no other!

Now that I have finally posted my Halloween photos, I can start thinking about Thanksgiving, Christmas and that little thing called moving :)

**Side Note.  Hiccup had  some very AWESOME boot covers that his Mother made for him.  They were fabulous, but he decided that since the elastic that held them onto the bottom of his shoes had broken he would throw them away.  In the kitchen garbage can.  On top of old chili.  stinker.

**Another Side Note.  If you have seen the movie, How to Train Your Dragon, and your kids liked it, you really  must get the chapter books to read.  We have completed all 7 and they are the favorite books of everyone in my home.  Each book is about 20ish chapters and so fun to read aloud.

Gratitude Sunday

I'm back! Life has been a wee bit, ok a lot bit, crazy recently. However, I am trying to get into a nice routine so that things won't be quite so crazy!

Today, I am grateful for a lot -- don't I say that every Sunday? ;)

1. My sisters. I have 1 sister and 5 sister-in-laws. They are each very special to me in their own way. I love them each for the things they teach me, the love they give me and their children and my brothers (and brother in laws). I am just really lucky.

2. Jeremy. Holy cow, he rocks my world! Right now, he is having a pajama party with Seth and Amelia while I sit here and blog. He is so good with them, and SO good to me. He changes diapers, cooks, cleans, does yard work, plays with the kids and only asks for my love in return. I am the luckiest woman in the world.

3 . My business. I have sold 2 slings in the last week and have had quite a few more inquiries. I love that people love the slings and more and more Mamas want to wear their babies. It just warms my heart.

4. Halloween. I am REALLY excited for Halloween this year. We have some big plans for this week, big plans I tell you!

5. I am really grateful that I could spend the day with my kids yesterday. I had a million and one things to do, but chose not to, and took the kids to Border's for a Halloween party (more on that tomorrow). They had fun and I had fun. I'll sew tonight after they go to bed. They're worth it.

Here's a little sneak preview of their costumes. I'd like to introduce you to Obi Wan and Little Red Riding Hood. I'm grateful that my Mom made the Obi Wan costume for Seth and I could make the Red Riding Hood costume for Amelia. They're pretty cute eh?
