Hospital Visits

So one day Keith ticked off Shannon and she kicked him in the shin in response. 2 days later I'm sitting in the emergency room with the little twerp! He flat out refused to budge from his bed until he saw a doctor because his leg hurt.

Obviously he was not dying, so I was voted the lucky one to go with him. The nurses and doctor seemed to find the whole story pretty amusing. We took pictures to pass the time. Keith's new nickname is "hypo", for hypochondriac.

1 1/2 hours later we left with an ace bandage. For his deep tissue bruise. He was still using the ace bandage a week later. Even though there was nothing on his leg to see.....

Yup, this is the culprit. Now there is a sizable lump under the scrap, but seriously, can you believe all the nonsense over this?

Pumpkin Carving

For Halloween we had some much fun helping the kids do their pumpkins that Kim & I decided we should do our own. They turned out pretty cute I think.

Mine is the left, Kim's the right. Pre-carving.

My work of art!

The Ghostly Pumpkin Head

SPOOKY!!!!

This year I went to the Haunted Forest with Kim, Ben & Kat. It was alot of fun. They had huge bonfires and we got our faces painted.

Poor Kat fell at the end and sprained her ankle. Those chainsaw guys can be pretty scary. The positive outcome was that I got to ride the ATV with a very handsome paramedic!

Fun on the Boat

I found these pictures of me & Kim on the boat at the beach house in my camera that's been missing for a while. I thought they were cute so enjoy! (and no, we were not actually driving!)

GROSGRAIN MINI STORE OPENING NOVEMBER 6!!!! AND BIG PREVIEW GIVEAWAY!!!!

GROSGRAIN MINI STORE OPENING NOVEMBER 6!!!! AND BIG PREVIEW GIVEAWAY!!!!

So I saw this on my sister-in-law's blog and being totally curious I decided to check it out. This outfits are soo cute! My niece would looke absolutely adorable wearing them. It even makes me want to sew, and that's a pretty big deal considering it took me like 3 hours to try and make a simple nursing cover. Now your wondering why I (single & childless) would be making a nursing cover. Hey, it was the ward Super Saturday and I had to do a project and Jenny did need one so I decided to join her. Anyway, you should all take a look!

How to be a positive influence...

I came home tonight (with Kim) to find that Kevin & Keith & 3 other boys had been roaming the neighborhood playing door bell ditch. They were begging for toilet paper. So I did what any responsible adult would do - I gave them 2 rolls & told them not to waste them or get caught. It was drizzling and any veteran toilet paperer knows that helps make the clean up terrible! Unfortunately Kim & I were not impressed with their 1st effort, so in an effort to contribute to their education we had to go along with them to house #2. The next 2 pictures are not the best but you can get the point...

Now, at this point we ran out of toilet paper so we made a run to the store for 20 more rolls and headed out again, this time with Sara & Shannon in tow. Unfortunately due to the unexpected arrival of our targets neighbor we were force to flee before accomplishing our mission. A video of this incident will hopefully be released shortly. The team was forced to flee through a muddy ditch and through the woods. Unfortunately we lost Kim, but luckily 40 minutes later we were reunited. It was a tad scary (being in the woods in the dark) but totally fun. We plan to complete our mission!
