My Mom visited the last few days and we had a blast- it was wonderful to see her and watch her with the kids. Being a Mom myself makes me understand and appreciate so much more about my parents- especially as I find myself doing so many of the same things they did. I don’t have energy to write much, so here are some pictures from our weekend…
Arlo the blue dinosaur
Have I mentioned how stinking cute Arlo is lately? He has the cutest waddle-walk and he just wants to repeat everything we say. My favorites are that his words for Elowa are “Good dog” and that when I holler “JOE!” he hangs he head back and hollers “JOE!” too.
At the Pumpkin Patch making a very important choice…
and here we are with our pumpkin
This morning we went to Aglazing Art and Zach painted a bowl for Grandma and Arlo footprinted a plate to match. Zach’s color choices were “Blue Bell” and “Sour Apple” so we’ll see how that turns out. I’m sure Grandma will eat from it everyday!

Thanks Mom for the great visit. I love you!
This year I really wanted to make the kids Halloween costumes. Zach wanted to be a blue dinosaur, so I decided to make a smaller one for Arlo. Turns out, 7th grade home-ec was a looooog time ago and I’m not much of a seamstress. Most of my free time for the last month or so has been spent in the basement huddled over my sewing machine cursing. I finished Zach’s costume a few weeks ago and let him try it on. He instantly fell in love with it and I felt so rewarded for all my work.
“Momma! Can I wear this all day?! But now I need blue claws and blue dinosaur feet and my face all blue. Got it?”
Arlo’s is soooo close to being done, I can’t wait to try it on him. Then I have to figure out claws for Zach… any ideas?
