We Scare Because We Care!

This year we continued our fun family tradition with Monsters Inc. themed costumes.

I was on the ball and made the twins' costumes in early October. . .maybe a little too early. They were super excited all month long and kept asking when they could wear them and scare someone!

Andy was a good sport and once again dressed up as a furry creature for our entertainment. His costume proved to be more difficult, however. I thought I would just buy a Sulley costume on e-bay. Ha!  I was putting the finishing touches on it this afternoon. But more on that later. I'm tired.

Happy Halloween! I'm already brewing up next year's costumes. . ..

Kenzie's New Smile

BEFORE

AFTER

A few months ago, Makenzie and Brayden bonked heads so hard that it knocked Makenzie's two front teeth loose. We gave her soft foods and babied them with the hope that they would fuse back where they belonged. She was finally able to eat apples and corn on the cob again and then. . . yesterday she tripped and fell on the cement. The poor little girl wasn't able to get her hands out in front in time to break the fall. She did a complete face plant and cracked her front tooth. I was pretty sure it was a goner. Sure enough, when I took her to the dentist today he said it needed to be pulled immediately. I was very sad! But Makenzie is one tough little girl. She didn't cry or scream or even wiggle when they pulled her tooth! She got a little alien as a reward, which she is proudly showing off in the last picture. Now she is all smiles again and anxiously awaiting a visit from the tooth fairy!

No Dumping!

In exactly one week, the Megaplex 14 at Legacy Crossing in Centerville will be open to the general public! Andy is excited to get back to the hustle and bustle of running a movie theater, but will miss all of the fun on the construction site. Like this:
