The Many Halloween Costumes of Sarah

If everyday could be Halloween- Sarah would be the happiest person in the world. Here are a few quick shots of some (yes.."some" there were more!) of her costumes used this October!

This was thrown together quickly for Trick-or-Treating night to give out candy. We call it the "voodoo princess" look... but it was honestly "some of this, some of that" last minute!

This zombie getup (before the blood was added) was actually a joke at first because we picked up a package of Tshirts for a project and didn't realize until we opened them that they were for young boys. Sarah was just goofing around pretending to be the hulk ("hulk smash!") but it ended up being zombie-riffic!

More Zombie fun! This ratted hair and makeup just made Sarah look like she was sleep deprived or something.

This one was done especially for the Murder Mystery. Sarah was Little Red Riding Hood.

To Dye for!

Surprise, surprise! As soon at the cold weather started coming in Sarah decided to switch up her look for Fall.

Its a big switch to go from blonde to "dark chestnut"... but it does match her naturally dark eyebrows. Frank says he is unamused.

This photo WILL make you smile!

It is almost impossible to get a photo of our two dogs together looking normal (no red eye, blinking, wandering away...) so Sarah was snap-happy when these two were curled up together. Kodak moment, right? Not so much. Although they mostly stood still, after about 100 shots this is the ONLY good one:

But it sure does capture them well and makes ya smile, right? Also, the quality is bad because its a webcam shot of the camera's digital display. Sarah can't find the cord to make the file really live on the computer. But you get the idea.

Once there was a snowman..snowman...

Once there was a snowman, snowman...

Once there was a snowman tall, tall, tall...

Then one day he melted, melted...

Then on day he melted small, small, small....

(I will never forget the time the missionaries had dinner at my In-laws house and they asked me to pick a church song for them to sing. I requested the snowman song. I told them it was my favorite.)

We've been doing pretty well with the packing so far. Sarah packs up during the day, then has Vince move the boxes to wherever they need to be when he gets home. Vince moved these boxes to the top of the 3rd level stairs, and Sarah, seeing the artistic opportunity, turned them into a snowman- scarf and all. Frank decided to pose adorably, as you can see. I think he has a new friend.

"Don't forget to pack me!"

Penny doesn't understand this whole moving process. She jumps in boxes as we pack them. Here she is sitting in a box of Vince's wires and electronic doodads. Don't worry, Penny, we won't forget to bring you along to the new house!

Spring Snip, Cut, N' Style..

I think every Spring we end up cutting our hair and every time I whine right after that I let them cut it too short. This year I think it is just right. My bangs are fuller than they look in the photo because I pushed them back, but its cute either way. Vince got rid of the "hairy beast" look and now has a cut faux hawk again. LOVE IT! He looks like a grown up Jack-Jack from the incredibles, doesn't he?

Notice the amazing colorful lamp and scrapbooking tower... the Mac is now in my scrapbook nook. :) Also, what is with the weird face I'm making? What is it about camera that makes me always pucker my lips like that? And where am I looking? This picture has 'special' written all over it.

Happy St. Patricks Day

How did we celebrate St. Pats? Well, Sarah went to work decked out in Green!!! The school she works at doesn't allow the celebration of holidays (I know.. that is SO un-Sarahish!) sooooo Green Eyeshadow ( so tacky, yet so wonderful), Green earrings, Green necklace, Green shirts, Green toe socks!  Dressing in green was just some kind of "coincidence"!
