Tye Dye shirts

We made these shirts last year with our neighbors and they still fit this year! That made me very happy. ;)

(if i was smart i'd have angled them where my neighbors truck wasn't in the background. Ah well.)

Self Portrait, by Nate, age 4 1/2 (well, almost)

What mirror has that child been lookin' in? We need to market em and sell em! ;)

Halloween 2009

Lizzy has a basket full of dress up clothes. Does she wear them? Nope. My mom bought her a cute little witch costume complete with hat and she has three or four princess/fairy dresses. But she wasn't too happy about any of them. So, since she doesn't really like them anyway, i decided to dress her as one of her dolls. I've been wanting to try to make her britches like her dolls anyway, so i did. She was totally cranky that night (she got really mad at us about 5 houses away from our own cause we wouldn't give her as much candy as she wanted...the fit escalated and D had to take her home) so the pictures are awful. I've got a few more i took the next day. I'll have to look through them and see if any of them turned out. This is the best i got from Sat night.

The moon was full and gorgeous Saturday night!

Nate refused to be the pirate i wanted him to be. He's gotta be a superhero! He wanted to dress up like black spiderman just like last year, but i wouldn't let him. Black batman was in his costume box and sufficed.

Evan told me last year on Halloween that he wanted to be a ghost this year. So, i went out the day after and found him a ghost costume, 50% off. My kind of deal. We added some smudged eyeliner to create bags under his eyes and "scars" and i took one of the black nets off the front door and wah-lah! Ghost!


More pictures from that night are posted here.

Pumpkin Patch

We tried a new pumpkin patch this year and really liked it. And this would be a really cute picture if Nate didn't resemble a demon-child. Seriously, what's it going to take to get a good family photo?!


There are a whole lot more pictures posted here on my facebook page.

Facebook can load a whole album of pictures in the time it takes blogger to load two. Really? Seems like blogger would have done something about that by now!

"Mommy" by Evan

Maybe I'm scared. Or mad. Or maybe he thinks i need a chill pill. Dunno. I just found this pic he made months ago (i think he was still five) and i'll have to ask him when he gets home from school. His explanation will be interesting, i'm sure. :)

Fall Pictures

ROBOT

Nate and Lizzy are looking through Lizzy's set of Wizard of Oz toys.

Nate picks up the tin man.

Nate (in a robot voice): I- AM- A- ROBOT. MY- NAME- IS- SILVER- MAN. I- HAVE- A- COFFEE- POT- ON- MY- HEAD.

He takes out the wizard.

Wizard to "Silver Man": Why are you talking like that?

"Silver Man": CAUSE -I- AM- A -ROBOT!

Lizzy: No! (and hands him one of the girl toys)

Nate to Lizzy: No, Lizzy i don't want a girl one!

He puts Wicked Witch in box and zooms it around the room.

Lizzy: No! (cries)

Mommy: Nate, take back the box. She was playing with it too.

Nate: But, i'm pretending the witch is flying off in a spaceship.

Mommy: Oh, well in that case... (kidding!)
