Halloween Cookies

Grant and I are not pumpkin carvers as all of you are. For FHE on Monday we made ghost cookies. I know they don't look very ghosty, more like multi-eyed monster things but Grant insisted we needed more than just 2 chocolate chips on each one! Grace tried to help but she couldn't bring herself to put the chocolate chips on the cookies, they went to her mouth instead! All you do is buy Nutter Butter cookies, white almond bark and mini choc. chips. Melt almond bark, dip cookies, place eyes, let cool and whala, you're done! Very yummy too!

Busy Week

This week was quite eventful! It all started Sunday night as I was getting onto the internet to check email and update our blog. All the sudden weird things started happening. Web pages popped up that I had never been to in new windows I didn't open. The computer was so slow, our homepage kept changing. Come to find out, we had a virus!!! My boss was kind enough to say he would try to clean it up for us and it took him 3 whole days! We were being held hostage and it had embedded itself in us so deeply he had to erase our hard drive and start over again! I guess we got it a long time ago and it has just been sitting on our computer and every time we got on the internet it would go and pull off more virus(es), until finally blowing up on Sunday. But, we have our computer back and it is better than ever!!!

Also, Grace went to Nursery today!!!! What a great Sunday! We got to listen in Sunday School and pay attention, and R.S. was great because I didn't have to fuss with her (that is about her nap time so she gets cranky). Wow, life sure is good!! All of you whose children are not yet old enough, just know there is light at the end of the tunnel!! The sad thing is, I checked on her twice during Sunday School and was almost sad when she didn't even care that I left her! :(

Now I'll explain the pics. The first is just a cute dress we got for 25 cents that I recently discovered in a box. It's patchwork. What child isn't cute in patchwork? The funny thing is, she wore it last week and 3 other little girls were wearing patchwork, funny coincidence I guess?

The second is her asleep with her book. Most kids have a blanket or stuffed something to fall asleep with, not Grace, without her book, naps are a nightmare!

The third is the other day I taught Grace to 'fly'. She thought it was great. I had a cape on as well but I'll spare you the image :)

Cute Grace

So Grace comes up to me lately with her hands outstretched saying mmmahh (or something like that :)) So I think, oh, she wants me to pick her up, so I do, and she puts her hand up to my mouth to kiss it and then is okay and wants down! How cute! She has learned that mommy makes things feel better, I don't think it can get any better than that!! I think the mmmahh means kiss because when she kisses you she makes the same thing, or when she is getting ready to kiss you she makes it as well.

Grace's Fashion (non)Sense?

Grace has recently decided that she needs to pick out her clothes. The first picture, she picked out both articles of clothing. I would hold up shirts until she picked one (because she wouldn't let me put the one I wanted on her) and then with the pants. The second picture was today. I put the shirt on her and then she pointed at the pile of pants I was folding so I let her rummage through the pile and she found those pants. Not too bad, but not what I would pick!!!

We are having a boy, for sure. We got some cute ultra sound pictures that I can't scan, therefore cannot post. But, we got one of his hand and a freaky one of his face, you can see his left eye really well, then his nostrils and his right eye is just kinda this dark patch, he looks like an alien!!
