Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween this year!  Our friend Lisa B. had a great party at her house with games, food, and family fun! Plus she lives in great neighborhood for Trick or Treating!  I had my camera on the wrong mode so I don't have any group shots! Gah!


Mason and Reagan were vikings this year.  Mason was a combination of his favorite vikings from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" and Reagan was Hiccup from the same movie.  They were pretty cute if I do say so myself.

Logan went as "overdressed, bundled, and stuffed into a stroller".  He was still cute too.

This week

{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Some knitting finally done!

I finally finished Reagan's Tomten sweater.  It was a lot of knitting.  It weighs a ton. He loves it.  I'm happy.

 

Mason just wanted a Tickle Hat.  I've yet to convince him that he should be covered head to toe in wool.  A Superman Tickle Hat was just what he ordered. 

Oct. 15, 2010

Did you know what happened on Oct. 15, 2010?  If you lived in this house, you would.  It was -finally- the day that "How To Train A Dragon" came out.

If you knew my middle child, Mason, you would know why this date was so important.  He has been waiting and waiting and WAITING for this day like 'forever' now. 

While waiting for this momentous day, we have read, debated, collected, hoarded, played, surfed the net for every bit of dragon information we can.  Plus, he has worn a dragon shirt almost everyday of his life.  Wearing a uniform has been very challenging.

"Mama - what dragon do you like the best? "

"I like the Terrible Terror Mase.  Who do you like?"

"I think I like the Montrous Nightmare today the best."

"Mama what day is today?"

"Oct. 1"

"This is taking forever!"

and then finally.  It was here. 

We set up the projector and made it a special movie night.  I even let them have food on my carpet.
