yes, I am still alive

For those of you who have been wondering....I am still alive. In fact, I was just thinking this morning (or was it yesterday morning???) that I should blog since I had 3 comments on my last blog for a few days. Then I logged in to find I had 8 comments on that blog! I guess, it's ok that I hadn't blogged, because not everyone had seen the last one!! :) I also realized today that I took a bunch of pics of Brooklyn's loot to share with you all and didn't, so...here you go:








Yes, I am still wondering how I do NOT weigh a thousand pounds.


I am also continually amazed at Brooklyn's talent. She LOVES to color and is pretty amazing at it (if I do say so myself :)). She got this from some restaurant (Taco Time, I think) and the other day I found some old coloring pencils I have had forever. She adores coloring with them and I am forever sharpening the pencils for her. However, it is well worth it when I see amazing work like this:


She loves to clor and I love to see it. I wish I had room to save everything that she's done, but unfortunately, I do not. I love it, love it, love it, though.

This is just a recent pic of Mason. Isn't he cute?


Further, tonight we had dinner with some dear friends that we don't get to hang out with as much as we would like. After the girls had run around crazy, they indulged in some of the afore-mentioned candy. This is the result:




Blue tongues and happy faces. What more could we want? Sorry for the red-eye. I just uploaded and posted. Some Grandmas were feeling withdrawls (wink wink). Nothing else is new or blog-worthy that I can think of at the moment. So, Happy Wednesday everyone and may the force be with you!

That is a haul. That's about how much candy we gave out, and I'm sure Dave doubled up. Thanks for the pictures. Brooklyn's coloring is beautiful, and Mason is growing up so fast. Such cute kids.

Looks like you had a fun time. That's quite a haul of candy you have, I'm jealous. Hallie loves to color also, we should have Brooklyn over sometime! By the way I tagged you! Sorry if you have already done this.

I can not believe a girl that small can get that much candy. We've got to take Tana trick-or-treating next year. Bring on the loot! Love the shot of Mason!

Fun post! I am with you, it's a miracle I can still fit out my door. I have picked at my kids candy so much it's almost gone! Love the coloring, she's a future artist for sure.

Thanks for your comments on my crazy day! I can't believe that she colored that. She really is amazing!

Trisha said...

WOW, that's a lot of candy! Naomi didn't get half so much. I'm going to have to work on her candy aquiring skills....
