Portraits: Take 1

I took Lily to get her pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids today for her 6 month "birthday." To say the least, it was a disaster. Lily's nose was running out of control, slobber was coming out of her mouth like a freaking waterfall, she kept sticking her tongue out (cute, yes, but doesn't make for good smiles), and the photographer was practically crazy. I understand making noises to make the babies smile, but if you do too much, the baby gets waaay overwhelmed. So, we didn't buy anything. One good picture and over an hour later, we left. Maybe I'll take my own baby pictures.

Hopefully next time will go better...if I ever get up the courage to go again! This morning was exhausting and a bit traumatic (for me, not her, I'm sure).

Halloween...in November

Here are pictures of our Halloween adventures!

We went to a Halloween party on the 27th. Jonny dressed up as Obi-Wan Kenobi (with a hand made costume, I might add!) and his super cool spring action lightsaber - even blue, like Obi-Wan's. I was "Arena Padme" from Episode 2. The party was so fun! The pictures below are pretty self-explanatory, except for one. A friend dressed up as Smurfette, and that's right after the pie eating contest.

The night before Halloween, Jonny and I decided to go get pumpkins! We stopped at a local pumpkin patch (because I have something against buying them at a grocery store...) and picked some up. Lily decided she would much rather sleep than pick out pumpkins.

Here are some pics of Lily and her cousin Christian in their matching cowboy outfits! So cute!

On November 5, we finally got around to carving our pumpkins! Sad, I know. But that's life. So we carved them while Lily slept and we watching Heroes and Journeyman. Here they are! For you Homestar Runner fans out there, you should know what these are! We drew a H*R and Homestar running on Lily's little pumpkin. For those of you who don't know what Homestar Runner is, you should! ...so go here.
