Halloween

So we had good plans to dress the boys up in their costumes and take them to the neighbors' houses for Halloween.  It never happened.  Amy had some stuff come up at work, and she ended up not making it home until after 8 pm.  I had juggled two crying boys and the doorbell all night, and by the time she made it home, I didn't have it in me to wrestle the boys into their costumes and take them out.  So their first Halloween was more or less a bust. They are too little to care, but I was kinda bummed.  Therefore, we look forward to next Halloween, where their costumes are planned, and yesterday I found the perfect component at the yarn store for it.  So I bought two kits to make adorable boots for future lawn gnomes.  Ha!  They are going to be so incredibly cute next year.

In better news, we are happily looking forward to a trip to Salt Lake to see all our family, and most importantly, take advantage of the plentiful baby sitters.  This week has been incredibly long, doing the SAHM thing, and after a seriou melt-down on all our parts last night waiting for Amy to come home and rescue us, this vacation couldn't start soon enough.   We are excited to see Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Vergil again, and the rest of the family.  But I know Grandma Kathy is particularly looking forward to seeing them.  She is going to be amazed how big they've gotten.  Wish us luck driving there...we are hoping for a drive less than 10 hours logn.
