not this cute anymore!Today we had a little party with Zack's preschool friends -and the older boys' homeschooling friends. It was low-key, but lots of fun. Anytime the kids get a chance to dress up in their costumes is a good thing. We made all kinds of Halloween crafts and goodies and played a few games. I feel so grateful to be able to celebrate this way with the kids- and not be on bedrest OR have a newborn, yet. Life is good!
Today was the first time this year that Ben has had to wear pants. He wasn't happy about it... but it's cold and he finally gave in. Anyway, his Bumblebee costume is small to begin with-- even though it's a size 10-12, go figure. He pulled up his costume over his clothes, turned around and said, "Do these pants make me look fat?" I laughed which made him feel self-conscious, but then I tried to explain that he has no idea how many women ask that question every day. He thought he came up with it himself. It still makes me giggle.. and I had to take a picture of his bulky backside while he was pinning the nose on the Jack-O-Lantern.
When we got home, the boys reminded me that I didn't get a picture in MY costume. Very true. Halloween ain't over yet! A big thanks to Arah for sending me her awesome homemade cow costume in the mail (along with Halloween goodies and a gift certificate for the baby. I am so spoiled!) I thought dressing up as a big farm animal would be an appropriate costume for me this year. Do you think it makes me look fat? It's so comfy, but the kids sure love mauling my nipples!

Love the post.... Love the nipples
btw I am suzanne Poulsens sister-in-law and lvoe reading your blog! Way to go Momma!
Hi Kristi- anyone related to Jason and Suzanne are friends of ours! welcome.. I am jealous that you get to see the Poulsens more than I do!
Too funny about Ben. I love the costume--I'm always at a loss for costumes during pregnancy. This year for Cory's work party, I went as a pregnant 1950's housewife, and Cory went as the milkman... perhaps not totally appropriate, but we thought we were pretty funny. And to hear Breanne telling people that her dad is the milkman... priceless. :)
I think Aaron is going to end up being a milkman too.. because he's procrastinated getting another costume. Not that he has to dress up at all, though :)
You look so great. Just stunning. I LOVE the picture of you and Ben.
Stop being so on top of it, Miss Blogger! Posting about events the day they happen?! Unheard of! You rock the milking cow costume, by the way. Seriously, you looked really good today.
When I wore the costume to the church trunk or treat two years ago, I think every kid came up to sqeeze the nipples.
Glad it worked for you this year.
Your awesome, by the way, and I really wish we could have gotten to know each other better when you lived here.
Someday Matt and I will visit Vegas again. It's been ten years. And when we do, I would love to see you again, along with all your boys.
