halloween misc.

all hallows eve

We went trick-or-treating at the nursing home where my grandma lives. We based our costumes off of the "Princess and the Frog" fairy tale.

daylight savings?

Did anyone else forget that today was daylight savings? Why do they even have this stupid thing?

I had to teach primary today, so I was up in arms about getting there in time to get supplies from the library. I even threatened Joe that I'd leave him if he wasn't ready. We marched up to an empty church parking lot when Joe realized that today was daylight savings!

I'm going back to bed.

wild one

This was last year when he was one month old. We got some weird looks last year because he was so young.

This was this year. He's changed just a little right? He's actually smiling because he's checking out a little girl right behind me.

pumpkin walk

Every year North Logan City puts together a pumpkin walk. This year's theme is: Brought to you By. It was based on products and their commercials. These were some of our favorites this year.

pumpkins

For FHE (Family Home Evening) we carved our pumpkins. When we bought our pumpkins from a neighbor girl, Corban had his eye on one the entire time. When we finally payed for it and put it in his lap, he grabbed it and hugged it.

Our pumpkins: a trick-or-treater, camp fire, and jack-o-lantern.
Corban loved his pumpkin so much he pulled the stem off. We super-glued it back on so it looks like all the other pumpkins.
Corban grabbed, squished, and tasted the pumpkin innards and seeds. He promptly spit them out.

matrix muse

Wouldn't it be nice if we could tap into some "other" source and instantly be experts on apache helicopters or curing the hiccups? It's getting pretty lonely watching TV by myself, going to bed by myself, playing games with Corban by myself, eating dinner by myself.

One fine day I'll have three degrees hanging on the wall and a regular family schedule. One fine day I'll sigh, reach across the bed, and kiss my sweetheart goodnight. Every night. On that fine day, I'll look back on these lonely days and realize they weren't all bad.

Oh, fine day. Where are you?
