Hey remember that one time I used to blog regularly?? Ya, sorry about that. ANYWAY! We had an awesome time on Halloween. The kids were adorable and Gideon was totally amazed that if he just walked up to random people's houses they would give him candy and say how cute he was.
Ashelyn was a fairy.(The Hub kept trying to avoid the cam... hair wasn't done ya know.) She was so stinkin' cute and tolerated the wings really well pretty much the entire night. Sorry about the bib, like I've said before...the girl pukes like CRAZY!
This was soooo fun! I couldn't believe how different Gideon looked with just a little black hair paint. Talk about Eddie Munster eh??? It kept throwing me off all night because I'm so used to looking for my little blonde boy. He was such a cutie and talk about an easy costume for a little boy who doesn't like fluff. I made the cape in about 6 minutes.
Me and my girl!!! I wasn't so festive. Didn't even wear black. Which is really shocking considering half of my wardrobe is black.
Gid-Man stuffing his face at Gramma & Grampa's.

It's Thursday again!? Halloween is tomorrow?? Is this for real?
Anyways, as usual I have a lot to be thankful for...
I'm thankful for our house. I'm glad we live in town and that I can feel like an active member of the community without even trying. For example: Last night people knocked at our door to have us sign a petition demanding an independent audit of the School District. They haven't had one in almost 20 yrs. How ridiculous is that? And now, they're proposing a new bond to fund "new lockers for the High School" even though a similar bond passed in 2005 for the same purpose and the money was spent... elsewhere? Also last night, the local food bank came around trick-or-treating for canned goods. Good stuff.
I'm thankful for my hubby who gets up so early to go to his "real" job and stays up soooo late to get things done for our business.
I'm thankful for Gideon... because right now he's trying to get the Mike & Ike's he dropped into Jake's snare on his drum set who knows when, out of the drum. I don't really even know how he got them in there, or how long they've been in there. But he keeps saying. "Mommy, oh no!" What a hilarious kid. Good thing the snare is supposed to rattle!
I'm thankful for Halloween coming up tomorrow! I think tonight I'll get the kids dressed all up for a test run of their costumes and to get some cute pictures! We just LOVE Halloween around here.
So the Doan family turned the front porch into a circus tent this year, and everyone dressed to fit! There was craziness all around! The boys have decided that next year has to be something scary, so that we can spook out the trick-or-treaters, although, I think quite a few were scared of Seth. (He was the tall man....and if I were a small child I would have been frightened.) Anyways....this is us.....
Here's my little monkey!!! I think this costume pretty much displays his full chunkiness... The boy likes food okay?! haha... I promise once he starts walking/running/skateboarding he'll trim down, I really hope the cheekers stick around though!

I had to get myself with him somehow, so here's the best of my attempts... ya, I know... not so cute, but you get what you get.
Last night we carved our pumpkins!!!! Jacob carved the Lemon Fresh "X" thing into his, which he was VERY proud of. I carved "The Doans" into mine....I'm not very clever when it comes to pumpkin carving. And when we got done with ours we were way too lazy to actually carve another one for Gid, so we just drew him one. We did however do our best to have it look like him....4 jagger teeth and all!
