1.
It's Nov. 1st. Do you know what that means? It means I will be playing
Christmas music 24/7 until Christmas, whether I get sick of it or not.
It also means that some awesome food eating is about to happen, which is
exactly why I joined a gym!

It also means that I will be putting up my Christmas tree this
week...if not this week, then the next. If I'm going through the trouble
of putting it all up, I'm gonna enjoy it! No, I'm not forgetting about
Thanksgiving. I'm still extremely thankful, but I'm also extremely
excited about Christmas, and extremely broke, so I can't decorate for
both.
3. Photo-flashback....isn't he getting so flippin' big?! Boo...
4. Lesson learned: Do not carve a pumpkin too early....
5. We had our Annual Reformation Celebration at church this past
weekend, and I'm glad we stayed longer than we should have, because
Kidd-O won the costume contest!

Speaking of Contests. Did you know that my mother lived for costume
contests? Yep, every year she would make the costumes a little more
grand than the year before and we went to every contest at every square,
mall, Kmart, and Toys-R-Us in the tri-state area.... And these are just
a FEW of MY costumes-- I didn't even get into what my siblings wore.

7. My mom obviously retired once kids 6,7 and 8 came along. Hence, the costume choices this year:
8. My youngest sister had several costume changes before we actually hit the pavement:
She was a spider, but that wasn't quite "girly" enough...

...So then we tried for Rosie the Riveter, but didn't have a red bandana....
But then, we found one, and all was well!
She could have also been a human Jack-O-Lantern because this child has one jacked up grill!

Kidd-O enjoyed walking around with the kids from house-to-house, and he
got one lollipop. He loved it. And I gotta say, he was one stinkin'
cute owl.
cool, he won the costume contest! actually that means you won, since you made it!
