Halloween, Part 2(nd place)!

Good day everyone!  I hope everyone is doing just swell!  Brooke has been a bit of a bad sleeper for the last little while (and by a bit of a bad sleeper, I mean a super bad sleeper!), but she slept much better last night!  So hopefully we're moving in the right direction now.  Due to her less than perfect sleep there were very many cranky times.  One day I asked Monica how things were going at home and I got the picture on the right with a note saying "This sums it up perfectly!"  But by lunch (and after a good nap) Brooke had turned it around!


To celebrate on Monday we busted out the Boo Berry!  I'm not sure I've ever had it before.  It was a fine cereal, but definitely not my favorite.  Guess we'll have to try a different "spooky" cereal next year.


For FHE we carved our pumpkins.  We've started trying to carve them very close to/on Halloween since 2 years ago we had initiative and we carved them early so we could put them out for decoration and they were collapsed and gross well before Halloween.  Here's Monica cleaning her pumpkin out.


But mine was much more goopy and gross than hers was!


And here are our finished pumpkins!  With candles to boot!


I don't know how Halloween was for everyone else, but I feel like it's starting to die down.  We did not get very many kids to come by our house this year.  I guess everyone is transitioning to trunk or treats and the like!

Monica got invited to a big time cookie competition for this weekend, so in preparation she started making different cookie recipes.  She made 5 different kinds of cookies, and I had to judge them and pick the best!

One morning when I got home from my run I was stretching out, and Brooke decided to join me!  Such limber calves!


In the night when Brooke wouldn't sleep I would sometimes go in and hold her for a while.  Then after she fell back asleep I would put her back in her crib.  Sometimes, however, I fell asleep in her chair!


Monica hit up that cookie party I mentioned before this weekend.  There were about 30 people there!  And guess what?!  Her cookies won 2nd place!  I'm so good at picking award winning cookies! And Monica's so good at baking them!  And now, here's a comment from Monica: ........

Well, with that I hope everyone is doing great out there!  Things are going well for us, and I hope you all have a great week!
