Austin Hanging Out in His Bouncer

He just looks so cute and funny! :) He finally enjoys his bouncer... helps Mommy get some chores done!

Taylor and Her Winter Hat

Taylor + a winter hat = hilarity.



She actually loves wearing it (wouldn't take it off all afternoon!), but she didn't care for having her picture made. Silly girl! :)

Halloween Pictures

I know it's been a few weeks since Halloween and that we're careening fast toward Thanksgiving, but I had to post a few adorable pics of the kids from Halloween! Taylor was a beautiful princess, and Austin was a hot dog with all the fixins! I love both of their costumes; Austin had fun at home with me, and Tay had a blast trick-or-treating (until the rain rolled in; still, she got a good haul!).

The 10 Best (and 10 Worst) Halloween Candies

I found these blog entries on Bon Appetit last night and got a big laugh out of them (particularly the 10 Worst list). I gotta say, though, that hating on candy corn, circus peanuts, and Dum Dums is not right (though the guy redeems himself by putting candy corn on the 10 Best list too - he states that they "look and taste like the nectarous fangs of unicorns" - LOL). And Whoppers on the 10 Best list? *gags* Sorry, malted milk does nothing for me! Anyway, see what you agree or disagree with on these lists; either way, the guy is hilarious and defends his choices well.

Fun Food Quizzes on Martha Stewart's Web Site

I got an e-mail yesterday from Martha Stewart's web site with a link to a fun Halloween food quiz - What Halloween Candy Are You? (I was candy corn - couldn't be more correct!). I'm a sucker for fun little quizzes like that (especially holiday-related ones), so I looked at the other quizzes on her site and found some great ones for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas; here are the links:

Do You Know Your Spooks and Frights Across America?

Have fun!! :)
