HALLOWEEN 2009

LET'S GO TRICK OR TREATING!

Here we have my Darth Vader girls and my Dalmation puppy.

Vanessa as Darth Vader. Awesome pose! I like to refer to Harley's costume as Mickey Vader. Mo as a Dalmation Puppy.

My nephew Tyler as a Ninja! Trick or treat!

She's got it easy!

Tyler, Vanessa, Emily (my friend's daughter. She is protecting her head from the lightsabers)

I don't know these boys, but when Harley saw them she said, "Look! They're dressed like ME for Halloween!!"

Mo at the Show

Because she is still too little to ride on rides (or camels!) I didn't get many pictures of Mo and the Pumpkin Show. This is one where she is displaying her exemplary drinking skills!

PUMPKIN SHOW 2009

The 103rd Circleville Pumpkin Show has come and gone. Til next year!

Dr. Liggett won again! 1635.5lbs! A Pumpkin Show record.

The girls met Ronald McDonald. Ronald commented to Harley that if she had red hair he would be out of a job! hahaha

Vanessa feeding a reindeer. The reindeer looked a little loco.
Kangaroo at the petting zoo.
Vanessa jumping. At one point she jumped in the air and said, "Hello Jesus!" She thought she was that high in the air. :-)
Harley jumping.
Our favorite float. Charlie and Chocolate Factory.
Vanessa riding on a camel.

A Magic Show!

Vanessa being the magician's helper. Mo is standing right there making sure she doesn't miss a thing!

Harley (aka "Slash" as the magician called her when he put the top hat on her head!) helping the magician.
The kids pose with the bunny that Vanessa made appear out of no where.

Harley loves the bunny.

Mo loves the bunny.

Vanessa wants to sneak the bunny under her sweater and take him home.

Mo was blowing bubbles. I tried to get a picture with bubbles but was unsuccessful.

Pigs in a blanket.

Sign O' The Times...

It has been a month since I've posted to the blog. Since that day when I posted pictures of the girls in shorts, playing in a park, fall hit. I love fall so I'm okay with it. It just got cooler sooner than expected.

.

Everyone in the family has been sick with a viral bug. I took Harley to the doctor at lunch today and they immediately put the mask on her. They are not playing around with the H1N1. Nor do I think they should. It was just a little odd having to put a mask on her. Even after confirmation that she just had a cold she wanted to wear the mask. It made her sound like Darth Vader when she breathed. She'll probably ask to wear it to school tomorrow.

Speaking of the H1N1, my conspiracy theorist husband came to the conclusion that the government is behind it. They are trying to scare us with the H1N1 so that we'll buy into this Health Care Reform. Go ahead, discuss amongst yourselves.
