Hey, it's only been almost a month- we're still in the spirit, aren't we? Actually, the way retailers are doing things these days, it's surprising they aren't marketing for next Halloween already!
Anyhoo, as promised, cute pictures of silly Halloween cake my blue-haired son and I made, well, a month ago! Enjoy.
My parents have some amazing poppies in their yard, and I thought it would be nice to take some pictures of Chloe with them. She had other ideas though...

Over at Crazy Hip Blogger Mamas they are looking for funny positions that kids sleep in. Although my kids have slept in plenty of funny positions, I haven't snapped any yet. So here is a CUTE sleepy picture instead. Hope I don't get in trouble!
We were lucky today in that friends of my parents who have a farm are "lamb-sitting" a two-week old lamb who was abandoned by its mother for some farmer friends who are out of town. We got to go over and check it out. It was feeding time while we were visiting, so Brodie even got to feed him his bottle. Too cute!
On my way home from soccer practice tonight, I found this little fella on the road in danger of being squashed by a car, so I picked him (or her~hard to tell!) up. I thought the kids might like to see him before I let him go, so I brought him home. Chloe was having a snack in her high chair when I walked in, so I said "Do you want to see the frog?". Of course she said "Yah, fog" so I brought him over. Well, as soon as he moved, she began to scream and try to scramble out of her high chair! She then began to cry and say "Scary fog, scary fog!" over and over. Poor thing, I felt like a big meanie! Hopefully this won't set her up for an amphibian phobia (say that 5 times fast) later in life.
How cute, huh?
This is my baby girl, Chloe. She is such a character, as you can see. She put the glasses on herself and came over to me while I was on the computer. Luckily my camera was close by and I was able to start snapping when she started clowning. I knew the pictures had turned out well when Brodie grabbed the camera to look at them and laughed for about 5 minutes non-stop. Note the splotch of red pen on her right cheek ~ one of her favorite pastimes is writing on herself.
Today after I picked her up from daycare, she predictably took off her shoes and socks ~ she likes to be in her bare feet whenever possible. What made me laugh was when she stretched her legs out in from of her and said "Hi feet. How doing?"
Its been an eventful (and tiring) few days. Brodie stepped on a piece of glass from a glass he had just knocked off my desk on Saturday night. It was a fairly big cut, and we debated the hospital (while he yelled "I don't want stitches" because he was severely traumatized by getting stitches in his leg 2 summers ago from a bike accident) but we decided against a trip to emerg. I was pretty sure the glass wasn't in there, and it was a clean cut. I had stitches in the bottom of my foot when I was a kid after stepping on glass, and it ranks right up there with childbirth as one of the least pleasant experiences of my life. I thought I should spare him that if I could. It seems to be healing well, so hopefully we made the right call. Then today I was about to drop Chloe off at her daycare and head to work when she puked ALL over herself in the car-seat. That was messy! So I turned around headed home. She kept throwing up every 30 minutes or so until about 2:30 this afternoon, then ate 2 kiwis, and seems to be fine. It is SO awful seeing your kids hurt or sick, isn't it? Its 10 times worse than being hurt or sick yourself. I have to admit that I didn't take Brodie to the hospital almost as much for myself as for him. I came very close to fainting when he was getting his leg stitched up, and I didn't care to go through that again. Funny because when I was a kid, whenever my brothers were bleeding, I had to deal with it because my mom would get woozy whenever she saw our blood. I always thought I was good at the blood thing. But its a whole different game when its your kid's blood! Another of the many joys of parenthood!
But then, you have moments like this...
and its all worth it!
