Deck the Halls

It's been such a busy weekend. Olivia and I went shopping on Saturday for holiday outfits for her and Dalton, it crazy trying to match a girl and boy. I decided to dabble in the brown family instead of the traditional black and red or burgandy. I found Dalton a pant/shirt/vest/tie in browns and creams and I found Olivia a dress that is brown velvet at the top, a turquoise bow in the middle and big dots at the bottom in turquoise and hot pink. It looks adorable. It's not the traditional Christmas colors, but Olivia picked out the dress, so we went with it as inspiration. We'll see how it works. Bonus, they can wear the outfits after Christmas, too.

After church on Sunday, Olivia kept asking me when we were going to put up the Christmas tree. I told her after Thanksgiving... Well, Brian forgot to tell me that he promised Olivia that we would put up all the Christmas decorations this weekend. I'm a softy, I had to help Brian make good on his promise, so we flew in decorating the whole house. It was fun and I'm sure glad it's done, but wow, what a shock to find out it's was already time. I feel like I'm so ahead of the game this year, I'm motivated to finish my Christmas shopping and get everything done. Good to know some people had the same idea this weekend.

Well, there is one added bonus, I have to squeeze in a birthday party before Christmas, Dalton will be 7 on December 13th. More busy weekends to come!!

H1N1 Flu Vaccine

I'm so torn on the H1N1 vaccine. Has anyone's child had the vaccine? What has your pediatrician recommended? Mine says that we should, but I'm still torn on whether to do it or not.

Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet...

Surprise, where's the candy???

Wasn't Snake Eyes scary?

Ninjas and Pretty Little Bats! I guess one would stab me with the sword and the other would suck out all my blood or come to my rescue, not sure.

Isn't this the cutest batgirl you've ever seen? Check out the bows, I made those an hour before we left. A little girl still needs some frills, even if she is going to fight crime.

Ninja/Batgirl

Ninja and Darth Vadar, very scary!

Yum, look at all the treats!

Much more serious batgirl in class. I don't think she wanted her picture taken.

Pizza and Halloween Treats!

I'm so sad Halloween is over, it's my favorite holiday. You get to act silly, there's really no cooking involved, everyone is so nice and they give you candy just for saying trick or treat.

Peace Out Halloween, fly away until next year!!
