OOO Pretty!

Just some pictures I snapped on the road... is that illegal?

Poppin Out

Alrighty, most have you have seen this picture already, but I thought I would do a little post to log my progression.

I really wanted to continue where my mom had left off in her pregnancy/post pregnancy journal that she started for me and made about 4 months in to my life with.  Admirable effort, especially since I haven't written one word in it...  My poor children.  Anyway,  I thought since we are now in the digital era that I would scribble here on the blog instead...and a little differently.  Where my mom wrote to me, I will write to you, but it should be fun for them to page through someday, right?  I guess if we have boys they won't care, girls on the other hand might take a little interest.

Ok enough with that.  The picture posted is at 4.5 months along with, of course, our first. 
Today is the 16th of November and in just 8 days we will find out the 50-50 question that has been plaguing us all these past 4.75 months- BOY or GIRL  (Gram I will try to spare you the knowledg of this event)...or as Mom, Colleen and my co-worker Brenda think- Twins! 
DISCLAIMER: In the initial sonogram there was only one. At the 16 week check up we only heard one heart beat, so my guess is that we will not be surprised by a #2 in there, that there will only be one.  BUT Aaron is still holding out for a second.

...more to come

A Very Late Halloween!

Yes, yes, yes, this is very delayed.  My laptop went down, which is where I have been contucting these blog postings from.  Tonight, with a wish and a prayer, I turned it on and lo and behold it started it up without a glitch.  It is running a little slow, but I will take slow over not working at all.

My dad called the day of Halloween and asked me to pick up some pumpkins for the house....have you ever gone pumpkin hunting on the day of Halloween?  My advice, DON'T!  I went to five grocery stores and found two Cinderella pumpkins and three miniture organic pumpkins, and that was it!  I felt lucky at that!

Also, a note on Cinderella pumpkins, they don't smell like a regular pumpkin inside.  It's more like a typical gord or squash smell. Not unpleasant, but not the nostalgic pumpkin smell. They are also really soft, so on the upside, easier to clean out. Lastly, they are so squatty that you really don't have too many choice on design.  Hence why mine look like this!

After it was all said and done, it was super fun to carve 5 pumpkins.  They looked so neat all lit up...once it got dark.  We had about 30 trick-or-treaters, not too many, but enough to feel satisfied.  All in all a great Halloween....I just miss getting to be the trick-or-treater...maybe next year we will take the baby out- hahaha just kidding!
