Hang in There, Baby

Do you ever feel like you do everything and nothing at the same time?! I feel like I've been cleaning, doing laundry and going to work the last 3 days and yet when I look around my house, it's a huge mess, there's still a mountain of laundry and I still have tons of work to do from home.

So, that picture is my self-portrait today. I'm going to try and clean more, do more laundry and do my work with the help of Chris and Ethan...Chris has assured me that by the end of the day, I will see the difference. I sure hope so; I would hate to see the self-portrait tomorrow if I don't. -RL

Happy All Hallows Eve!

This is my favorite costume that Ethan has ever worn. I could not stop smiling and laughing at how cute he looked. The best part was when he was running from house to house, he would wave his wand and say, "Expelliarmus!"

Here is our scary family picture! A pumpkin, Elphaba (not just any witch, mind you, she's Elphaba), Harry Potter and 2 exhausted parents trying to be enthusiastic! We had our standard Halloween dinner of Mac N Sneeze (green mac and cheese), Jack-O-Pizza (jack o lantern shaped pizza), Ogre's toes (egg rolls) and a delicious green punch that Emma named Elphaba's bath water. For dessert: goblin ears with ear wax (sliced apples with caramel dip). It was a spooky good time! -RL
