Momsie and Popsie

Even though this post will only serve to perpetuate the notion my siblings have that I spend about 90% of my time with my parents, dear ol' mom and dad have been very helpful to us lately and I'm very grateful.

What better way to say thank you than a blog post?! :)

Mother rabbit needed a cape so mother came to the rescue. It, of course, went from being a simple fleece cape to a deluxe, fully-lined, and perfectly sewn cape :)

The leaves all fell practically overnight, the yard man was out of town, and the 4 day rain was imminent. Good thing dad got a super blower for Christmas!

Thank ya pals.

Happy Halloween

We were up and at 'em and literally running around first thing Halloween! Doing it in great style too, even the judges agreed this year!

It was our 6th year running, a lot has changed since we started, many additions! and what a year! our gumball machines came in second place!

 Then it was off to trunk or treat which was moved indoor because of rain.

These two won in a landslide, coming in 1st and 2nd respectively!

 These girls were all just darling!

The Sound of Music was a singing sensation placing 3rd.

And even though we shamelessly campaigned for votes, Mother Rabbit and Peter Rabbit were off the stand in the 5th spot.

Hoppy Halloween!

Happy National Cat Day

I hope you had a purrfect day, we sure did!

Aside from getting many texts, memes, and funny cat videos we also celebrated at home with our girls: we had dinner out and the kittens got an extra scoop of food :)

We also carved kitty pumpkins!

She had to know it was her day, she allowed snuggling...it kind of looks like cat dad Peter is strangling baby kitty, but in reality he's scratching her chin and she's dying a thousand love deaths.

Yep, we're crazy cat people :)

Homies do Halloween

At youth group on Wednesday we had some fall fun and talked about the roots of Halloween.

Everyone brought in their favorite candy bar and then each team had to write a story using the candy bars as some of the words.

They came up with some cray cray stories!

Growth Spurt

I can still remember when my mom gently told me that 'growing into things' was no longer something I should consider when clothes shopping. Somewhere around 13 years old.

At the time those were wise words. Recently though, I've come into a new stage of life where that's about 90% of the consideration. I hold up the garment and check for tent-like roominess all the while not really being able to imagine what being the size of a house will be like.

Right now I feel like I fell off the exercise/eating right bandwagon, just kinda chubby and out of shape (and breath).  So when I walked past a quite pregnant girl the other day, I thought how is it possible that in just a few short months that will at least be me, if not more?

It's all very weird. And exciting! But mostly weird.

And then I think how perfectly created I am. Good thing God our perfect creator knew exactly how to make me, because I have no idea what's going on! I just wake up every morning and wait for the new weird thing to come along.

In the meantime Peter's been taking photos from time to time. The first one makes me laugh bc I really felt huge and like everyone in the world could tell I was expecting...ha!

We got to see our bebe yesterday. He/she is doing well, right where they should be, and looking cute with a turned up nose :)

Krafting with Kari

It was real mom stuff: 

trips to the fabric store, glue guns, and banishment of children in the name of focusing on a craft project. 

How else does a Halloween costume come to life?????

Work work work including burning our fingers to the bone! :) These are NOT lo-temp!

Who wore it best? :)

Mmk now to train for the 5k...

Big Improvement

After a summer of having a hole in the driveway, our fighting position has been improved, and in a big, aesthetically pleasing way :)

Before and after

And around the fire pit too!  Ooooo!!!

Please stop over, we'd love to have you :)
