First of all, I would like to congratulate myself on not buying a bit of Halloween candy yet ... ordinarily, I would have been through a whole bag of candy corn by now and half a bag of fun-size twix or peanut butter cups. But I have withstood temptation and have not purchased anything yet.
But I'd better kick it into gear on the costume front. Our church is having a trunk or treat party this week, and so we've got to get rolling on the costumes. Jacob has changed his mind daily about his costume, but I've committed him to being a vampire ... and if by Saturday he doesn't want to be a vampire, too bad!
But here's the question. Eric could fit Jacob's old costume (an adorable jester costume), but I keep wondering if Eric should have his own memorable costume. Should I just bite the bullet and by him the super-cute baby darth vader costume (the one that I believe Jake secretly wants), or should I have him wear his brother's hand-me-down costume? Thoughts about hand-me-down costumes in the same family??
Last thing I wanted to post. My friend Shauna has been telling me for some time now about a terrific web site that all of you who read my blog probably already know about, but it's called the Picky Palate.
I needed to bring a dessert somewhere on Thursday night. I'd had a plan earlier in the day, but naturally, at 3:30, I realized that I was missing one critical ingredient. So, I go to a few of my cookbooks, but am inspired by nothing. So, I go to my recipe file on my computer, and nothing turns up that I either a) have ingredients for or b) have time to make. Since I have so much time on my hands (not!), I start searching blogs. I found a few really good ones, but this one, The Picky Palate, has the best pics and the most appetizing looking stuff. I truly wish this lady could come live at my house. Check it out sometime!
Glad to be blogging again! I really don't think I have an interesting enough life to blog everyday, but I will be more frequent than every 4 months from now on!

Yep me too. I have yet to figure out what to do about costums. I think i'll do hand me downs for the babys but for Ayla and Isaiah I don't know. I dont want to spend money on costums and would really love to make them but when?
You do have stuff to post about. I love reading your blog. I'm glad your back on.
