Thank you Denae

Thank you for being a talented photographer. You were patient, with four little boys and a husband who refused to do certain poses. You were calm even during all the screaming from the unruly 18 month old whose sole purpose was to exhaust us and make us all sweat. Thank you, I love them all!!!

Halloween fun....but aren't we all so glad it's over?

Guess the costume?

See if you can guess what all these people are dressed up as. Click on the collage and you can see the pictures a little larger. Whoever gets all of them correct will receive a wonderful and much coveted prize (all my left over Halloween candy). And by the way that is a wig on me, no I didn't cut my hair. All night everyone thought it was my hair because apparently my hair color is similair to the wig hair color.

We are really ridiculous

I agree, we really are ridiculous, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Someone decided to abandon me and not wear his Jon and Kate plus 8 attire, (I guess he was just trying to be true to his character and not go with the show) Any who, when our neighbor offered up these nice mullets how could we refuse?? Right, I mean doesn't everyone wish they were in an 80's rock band? And how awesome is my hot pink vinyl jacket? (it almost feels like leather) You too can have one for $7.99 at Ross. I think I will need to wear it around town.

My little dragon

After a little scream fit he actually let us keep the dragon costume on him. Don't worry I have like 4 other costumes that he will need to wear before this holiday is through. And apparently the other two older boys costumes weren't good enough for me to take pictures of???

Mr. Bones, has been wearing his red skeleton costume everyday. He is enamoured with it. It actually has a really scary mask that goes with it and I can hardly stand for him to wear it because he is too sweet to wear something so horrifying.

See if you Can Guess...

Last year for Halloween Mark and I decided to be a celebrity couple that was constantly in the tabloids (Brad and Angelina). This year I thought we'd be another current paparazzi crazed couple.

See if you can guess what we are going to be, and if you can please give some input on ways we can really make the costume authentic.

Here are the clues:
Someone will be wearing a super graphic Ed Hardy T-shirt and perhaps some diamond stud earrings. Another one of us will be sporting a choppy new hair do. We will need to insure there is lots of fighting about money and reality tv shows, quarreling about kids and rude comments between us. Yeah, that was kind of easy.

Point Reyes

We took a little family outing just up highway 1 along the coast. Unfortunately I forgot my camera. What good is a family field trip if you don't have a camera to document the events to prove to your children that you took them places? Good thing for the camera on our phones. The quality is poor but at least I have the memory, because it's all about the moments and the memories.

My favorite 5 boys

308 stairs down to the lighthouse and then 308 stairs back up.

Mr. E just sat in the backpack eating graham crackers while Mark hiked around.

Tennis in my dreams

Recently I started up with tennis again...with again I mean after a 20 year hiatus. We joined a tennis club, got the boys started with lessons and now slowly I am playing again. Unfortunately now I have the tennis bug, which caused me to join a league. Basically all it means is playing a tennis match each week. Which is no problem, except of course my strong desire to win each game and of course the commitment of knowing I have to play frequently in order to play very well at all.

It's all just fun and games and it's suppose to be casual, but here I am awake at 2:00am the night before my first match and guess what I was dreaming about before I woke up with a headache in the middle of the night? Yup, I was playing tennis is my dreams. And now I have a bad case of tennis on my brain. Maybe all the bouncing caused my headache, not sure but I do know I want my headache to go away now!!!

P.S. Playing tennis while I am sleeping is really no fun at all. Especially if all I am doing the whole time is losing.
