Halloween!

By
It was a cold, windy Halloween here this year, but we had a good time never the less!  Many families out east were facing rough times, so we considered ourselves blessed to be able to do something as frivolous as dressing up in silly costumes and trick-or-treating.  Leah decided she wanted to be an angel this year, and Wyatt "decided" to be a baseball.  :)  They were both pretty cute if I do say so myself!  I thought Wyatt would be grumpy when we put him in his costume; I figured if I got one good picture it would be worth the time it took to make it!  But he was happy as a clam and he smiled and cooed away, so I got lots of great pictures.  He was certainly the warmest of of us all during trick-or-treating, although he only went the length of one block  before I took him inside again.  (Leah and Ryan kept going - I think Leah would have trick-or-treated all night if we let her!)

Close Encounters of the Pregnant Kind

By
I have found that something about a pregnant lady makes people say things that they wouldn't normally say. And, then of course, there is also a sudden decrease in personal space awareness. I am almost not surprised anymore when a stranger puts her hand on my belly for a prolonged amount of time in a public restroom while she tells me horror stories about delivering the 15 th of her 17 children. Here are a few of my favorite encounters: 1. An elderly man came over to me at the grocery store in the produce section looking very stern and asked me if I was trying to steal a watermelon. (He then broke into a semi-toothless grin.) 2. A kindergartner came running up to me while I was on recess duty, put her hand on my tummy and said, "Mrs. Dainty! I just saw your belly MOVING! Is that your baby? Is she having recess, too?" 3. Lucy (our dog) gave me several annoyed glances as she tried to snuggle up to me while we were watching TV and kept getting nudged in the face by t...

Snow and Sesame Street

By
We woke up to sooooo much snow! The kind where you can't get the back door open and you have to shovel your way to the garage to get to the snowblower. Leah and Lucy were both pretty amazed - the snow is deep enough to swallow them both up! We played in the snow while Ryan, bless his heart, began excavating our house. Leah helped shovel us out for a while. What a trooper! Another recent fun event was going to see "Sesame Street Live" on New Year's Eve. We saw Elmo, Grover, the Count, and all of Leah's favorites. The music was pretty awesome - my favorite was a medley of "I love trash" and "We're moving trash," which is a song about decomposition sung by an R&B Beetle. Very fun - Leah was mesmerized.
