Spooky Dinner and more Halloween fun...

I just have to start with a face like this! Ah, she's SO photogenic! Can I tell you how much I love her? Nope. There are no words.

This was my attempt at a "Spooky Dinner". We had mummy dogs, bones with blood sauce (breadsticks with marinara sauce), witch fingers (fresh, raw green beans), goblin hearts (ravioli) and vampire bites (apple wedges with almond slivers for teeth). The kids were impressed with how everything looked, but eating it all was another story. Of course. (And obviously Noah wanted to be in this picture.)

Kids showing off their vampire bites.

Doesn't Mia look thrilled? She was grossed out. She said, "Do I have to eat these things?" Such the girl. She was OK once I told her what everything "really" was. :)

Those are some pretty spooky faces! Wouldn't you say?

Here are pictures from the Halloween parade and choir performance at the school on Friday:

Mr. Keeler! No costume this year??? Many kids (and parents!) were disappointed...

Noah and his "creepy" teacher! (His words, not mine.) What a great sport, Mrs. Bennett! One of the girls in Noah's class actually started crying when she saw her teacher! She was pretty scary.

Such a good looking Sith!

Jaxon sang in the choir. He did such a "spoo-rific" job!

Happy Halloween, everyone! And now, "Bring on the PIE!" (Right, KIM? ;))

Halloween Dress up!

I failed to get a picture of all the little goblins together this year, so here they are individually:

The pretty kitty

The cutest cowgirl

The knight in shining armor

The Jedi and The Sith
(Can you tell which is which?)

Worst enemies (Too TRUE! Haha.)

CAMERA: FOUND!!!

Just thought you should know. Pics coming soon. :) WAHOO!

Looking back...

I'm not really a sentimental person, but sometimes while I'm looking back through old pictures of my kids (when they were REALLY young) I can't help but fall in love with them all over again.

In honor of Halloween I found these old pics that I just couldn't resist posting. They were taken in 2006, back before I was a part of the blogging world. :)

Noah, age 2 1/2

Mia, 17 months

I guess I was so focused on these little ones this year that I didn't even take any of Dallin and Jaxon. Well, at least I couldn't find any in the file. Is that possible? (Grandma and Grandpa Keeler were on their mission, so I couldn't steal pics from them!) Hmmm...I win "Mother of the Year Award" once again. Hey. After you've birthed 4 kids in 7 years, we'll chat.

The truth, the WHOLE truth, and nothing but the truth!

OK, I confess. I've been avoiding it for over a month now, but I've looked everywhere. My camera grew legs and RAN away! I'm sure of it. There's no other logical explanation. I'm very sad, but at least there weren't really any pictures on it. So for the last couple posts and this one too, my pics have come from the phone on my camera. Poor quality, but better than nothing! I WILL find the camera this weekend. *sigh* It has to be in one of these piles...

This little cutie is growing like a weed! OK, more like a flower. :)

You KNOW you wish YOU had cheeks like these.

Mmmmm...

Miss mush face. She had rice cereal for the first time today and LOVED it! What? She needed a little more food...can't you tell she's starving to death? ;)

Her new thing is to suck that bottom lip in to make that cute face. Love her to pieces! She's really slobbery but still no signs of teeth. Oh yeah, and did I mention she sleeps through the night? Yeah. I love her.
