blogging is hard/halloween 2012

Ok so I will be honest. I don't really like blogging. it sort of stresses me out to get out the camera and download the pictures and then i am expected to say something cute and inspiring about what we are doing in the pictures.  this maybe comes from my recent tour of all of the amazing blogs out there. you know the ones where people write more than a few phrases and their pictures are always in focus and perfect , Momastery,  hownottodresslikeamom.  nieniedialogs (just finished reading Heaven is Here). and my dear sister Valerie  illguthlife where even her husband can write out a mean dialog about his life.
   so I just want to put out a disclaimer that the MAIN reason for this blog is for my family that lives so far away and relies on these pictures as a way of knowing what my children look like in the months between our visits.  I am not a writer. I can't spell without the help of Google who is the only person who can decode my first attempts at spelling a word. and punctuation and such is something that I have to FOCUS so hard to do.  So I am sorry about the primitive shape that my posts might be in but I am trying to keep this easy and fun for me.

So on to the kiddos

starting them off young I guess.  I now log off of Netflix on my tablet so  I don't catch Rocky watching Sponge Bob 24-7

this face is so hilarious.  he Does it all the time and it makes the cuties popping sound. 

here we are carving the Halloween pumpkin that we painted a few weeks ago. 

pretty scary stuff. 

and here are my little trunk-or-treaters  

this was the the costume before it got completely covered in candy and paint. 

I made this stuff for my preschool and then took it down stairs to decorate. 

we put up these bats about three weeks ago. thanks Hillary and Emily for the Idea. 

our pumpkin pizza. the crust is green. 

I ran out to buy a pumpkin to carve for preschool and Walmart was sold out of regular pumpkins so I bought this instead. the kids all watched patiently as I attempted to carve it. but alas I don't think it was hollow. so I just carved  the back of the pumpkin that rocklond and I had done a few days before

we were learning the letter H for Happy Halloween 

and sponge bob and plankton again. 

in this picture you can see johns shorts. he was Patrick. I was a jelly fish because I am always trying to out do the year that I dressed up as a piece of cheese. 

We had a blast trick-or-treating  everyone really liked the whole family theme and It was Extra Special becasue John had work off.   he hasn't come trick-or-treating with us since Rocky was Knoxx's age.
