that is what most of you are saying reading this....finally she takes the time to update something she said she was going to do weekly, and now it has been two months since she did anything about it.
well, i think it has been two months since i have seen the top of my desk. honestly, my office is the most embarassing room in my house. it is the catch all for everything! and my desk seems to carry it's fair share of it. it is my goal to get it cleaned up with this long weekend that i have. a place for everything and everything in it's place - right? wish me luck.
well since i last posted we had xander's pirate party, which went very well. i am still working on the thank you cards. they are buried somewhere on my desk. we had a few garage sales and i made enough to use the buddy passes i bought from my sister last year. so we had halloween - xander was batman and cassidy was a lion, but more on that in a minuted - and the morning after halloween we flew to utah for a quick four day trip (which really felt like we were gone a month).
in utah we got to visit with all my siblings -YEAH! although difficult as i made it on some of them we managed to work it out. we stayed with todd's cousin and her family and got to see all his siblings - including chad in a fabulous show, too funny! we saw a BYU football game, and xander got to have his picture taken with Cosmo the Cougar and he got to shake hands with 1-5, the quarter back. all game he was watching 1-5 "daddy, look it's the quarter back max hall" and after the game we "ran" into him as we were exiting the stadium and xander got to shake his hand. he is really excited about that and tells everyone he met the quarterback. during the game we got to hang out with most of our georgia friends, with a little bit of drama and excitement, but it was so good to see them all. we finished the trip with an overnight stay in arizona and then back to georgia on the 4th. like i said quick trip.
so before the trip we had a myriad of halloween/fall festivals to attend. we did two trunk-or-treats at church, todd and i attended two adult costume parties and then we went trick-0r-treating on halloween night with the gormally's.
so here is the sum up on costumes - the church activites xander went as peter pan (no mask) and then for halloween night he got to do batman with his mask. cassidy was a red sox cheerleader and a lion for the different activities. she didn't seem to mind one bit being dressed up.
as for me and todd, our first costume party we went as "peace and quiet". i was a flower child of the 70s and he was a mime. our second party was a murder mystery with a wild west/saloon/poker game theme. i was assigned the part of calamity jane and todd was wild bill hickock . all went well for both and we actually enjoyed ourselves. look at us getting out of the house and doing something wild and crazy. we are so not the wild and crazy type.
and now thanksgiving is upon us. we are staying here in georgia this year.
so here are some pictures from the last two months. i am likely to overload this thing, but enjoy.
**edited**
okay, so i reworked the text pictures thing and tried to reorganize the order of the pictures so they made more sense.
1. xander on his scooter, birthday present from grandma d and grandpa d
2. xander & cassidy on halloween night before trick or treating
3. cassidy checking out her candy - she did not let go of her bucket, she knew what was in there and todd had to keep a large portion of it in another bag as they walked or she would have eaten through every wrapper in there.
4. xander -oops! batman leading the way, "Everyone follow Batman!"
5. family photo op while trick or treating
6, 7, 8 & 9. fall festival at church
10. family photo op in front of the Salt Lake City Temple
