Halloween 2009

-
Excuse the crappiness of these pictures...when my dad emails me the good ones, I'll post those. I have hard copies of them and they are good (but no scanner to scan them. sad).

We're off to see the Wizard...
and yes, I look more like Dorothy after she's popped out a few munchkins.
and yes, Moose does sort of look like a hobo.

This weekend was also the first time my older sister, Amber, got to meet Squirt. It was so good to see her! She's like a hummingbird - elusive but always beautiful and fun to see.

Moose got a ukulele from his Auntie Amber. He keeps saying "mama, I want...itar" (guitar).

We had so much fun meeting, greeting, and trick-or-treating!
Tristan learned to ring the doorbell or knock, say "ooo oo eat" and take candy (no, he wasn't waiting...he just dove in). He also kept trying to get into the houses...just to look around. He made it into one house (of course, one of the only houses where I didn't know the people) and just started looking around (it was so awkward because they were eating supper). Weirdo.

Hope you all had a happy Halloween. I hope to post (better) more pictures soon.

Did you freeze to death in your dress? It was barely 50 degrees here yesterday!

I love your costumes! When my youngest (#5) was 1 1/2, all 7 of us dressed in a theme for Halloween. That was our one and only time to do that, but it was so much fun.

Strangely enough, my 10 year old daughter wanted to be a hobo this year. Maybe she could learn a few things from the scarecrow! LOL

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-
Image
Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
