My Child Transformed

So, thanks to a little vaseline leftover in her hair (it's now gone everyone), and the fact that she poked the lenses out of her sunglasses, I think Paige pulled the nerdy look off pretty good. :) She and Megan were playing dress-ups and Megan ran into my room saying, "Mom! You've got to see what Paige did!" She looked like a completely different girl. I'm posting cute pictures of Megan & Paige also, so these silly pictures I've posted recently don't burn into your memory for too long.

Santa Beards Gone Wrong

First of all, if you're wondering why I haven't been blogging it's because my camera keeps taking super dark pictures. I had to lighten both of these and they still are really dark. This was an idea that sounded really funny to me when I read it on the internet, but never try it if you have a 2 year old! :) So, you spread vaseline around your child's mouth and then have them dip their face in a plate of cotton balls. Then you're supposed to see how cute they look with a "Santa Beard". Paige kept saying "yucky" as I tried to spread it on, so I felt bad from the first. Then the disaster happened when I got a phone call. I had put the lid back on the vaseline before I went to get the phone, but Paige sneakily got back into it and spread vaseline all over her hair. I have now washed her hair 3 times since, and have yet to get all of the greasiness out. What a bad idea I had!!

Roasting Marshmallows

After dinner last night we decided to pull out our metal skewers and "roast" marshmallows over our stove. We could only find 3 of our skewers, so Brad, Megan and I used them (so Paige wouldn't be near the stove). Brad and I turned around and saw what Paige had made for herself! It was so funny - I was saying to Brad - "hurry up, get the camera!!" While we were cooking a marshmallow to give to her, she had grabbed a curly straw from the drawer, had skewered a large marshmallow on each end of the straw, and was ready to roast!

Reason For Deleting My Posts

I decided to delete my past posts today, after watching a story about blogging on the 10:00 news last night. It was talking about all of the info. you can get about people just from looking at their blog. Well, most of you probably aren't guilty of what I was doing - I had full pictures of our house, our city's name, my kid's birthdays, Megan's teacher's name, etc. It just kind of freaked me out, so I decided that from now on I am going to try to post much more generically.

Hope You All Had A Great Halloween!

Brad and I were the 2 amigos for our family Halloween party earlier in the month. All 5 photos of our family turned out blurry on our camera, so I'll just show you individual shots of Brad and the girls. I'm realizing that I'm not in any pictures because take them all. Brad and I bought these outfits for the girls while we were Hong Kong this year. These other photos are of our attempt to copy cat Papa Murphys Jack-o-lantern pizza. We were very proud of it! Ignore my ugly cookie sheet! :)
