Thankful Thursday

I am thankful for make believe and magic. Its kind of fun to see how excited our kids get when they can figure out some kind of pretend play regarding their favorite characters. Here Lyman displays his own invention of a Jedi costume.
Here is a cute picture of the kids and the Jack-O-Lantern that we made as a family for FHE. Both kids were weary of the slimy stuff inside the pumpkin which was funny. Lyman had the idea to do a bat. Take notice of "Fred" our pet ghost that stands watch over our house when we are not there. The kids like to say goodbye to him every time we go somewhere and Andy hates the thing. I think he is cute.

Lyman was a transformer for Halloween (our church party was last night) and Corilynn was excited to be a princess. She was assigning people she saw to be her dwarfs so she could be their "mommy".

Andy and I dressed up as Bella and Edward from the fourth book of the Twilight series. It was so funny and Andy's costume came out so well. You cant tell because these pictures were taken under fluorescent lighting but under regular light you you can see his skin sparkles. I put a very fine glitter on his skin over the white makeup and it was so fine that even a foot away under regular lighting it looked like his skin naturally sparkled and you couldn't see the glitter. It was soo cool looking. Andy told Lyman as he watched me put the make up on Dad that he was letting me do this because he loved me. Husbands do silly things for their wife because they love them.

I had a horrible brown wig (the only one that came in the right color that I could find was an awful mullet one) and of course my bio-hazard beverage. Here is a picture of me at 35 weeks though. I am beginning to explode. I wish my pregnancies were as short as Bella's. Id be done long ago if they were.

We have done a lot of fun things together as a family lately - Halloween parties, pumpkin carving and tomorrow we take off for Columbus to spend the night down there and have a weekend outing as a family designed around an outing to the temple there. I am thankful the funny moments we have had together as a family.
