Suprise!

So the waiting is finally over.... we are having a girl!!! Most of you are not surprised since we've sort of had a hunch along those lines for awhile. I was secretly hoping for the total shock of a boy but I am a firm believer that every girl needs a sister so I think it worked out.

Meet the little peanut! Here she is yawning...and waving...and here is Siena and I... (Katie this belly shot is for you!)

October is finally here and we decided the house needed a revamp for halloween. Since I didn't really own any decorations (due to boycotting/hating halloween in my former life ) we thought some homemade stuff would be even better.

We made some spiders...and some happy ghosts.

Add a ridiculous amount of fake cobwebs everywhere and you have one spooky house!

Sundays

Sundays have now been unofficially renamed "family project day"! All this really means is doing a random activity I think up (and don't really have the energy or motivation to accomplish on my own) and I use the ruse of "family time" to rope Brandon into helping me..."

We started off with something super easy- a huge floor puzzle. Siena had a great time and it convinced Brandon that this wasn't a terrible idea...

The next week we decided to be pirates- complete with a ship, hats, swords, and eye patches. I'm not gonna lie- the best part was watching Brandon try to squeeze into the laundry basket... and I can only say that because once I got in he had to help me get out.Why didn't anyone teach me how to make one of these hats when I was a kid? Is it just a boy thing- you know like learning how to make gun noises?
