A DIY R2D2 HC (Halloween Costume)…I just liked all the abbreviations.

November 21, 2014 by Maren 1 Comment

I’m trying to play a bit of catch up here at the ole’ blog and keep on plugging away with my record of life. Pierson started 1/2 day kindergarten this year and has been exposed to Star Wars there. He asked if he could be R2D2. And I agreed…I mean, how hard would it be to DIY an R2D2 costume?

Halfway in, as the paper mâché toilet paper gloop wasn’t looking promising, I was cursing myself for not saying ‘no’. All in all, it turned out fine and Pierson was proud of it. That’s all I cared about. I was happy to help him follow his dream, but I told him next year he needs to just find a costume from the dress up bin.

And another of all the kiddos and cousins dressed up. (I like this particular one for a few reasons: It’s a rare photo of Sterling actually smiling on command; Merritt cracks me up because he wasn’t too amused that he couldn’t see out of his Skunk costume;  And as always, Anders was smiling.)

Recent Family Times

We recently spent times with family on both sides of the aisle (i.e. My family and Michael’s). My camera card went kaput, which made me super sad to lose so many pics, but here are a few from my family gathering.

Toddler Implants

November 9, 2014 by Maren Leave a Comment

A couple of weeks ago, Sterling and I started using suction to adhere toy eggs to her stomach.  We started with one, then she requested another.  After I suctioned the second one onto her belly, she immediately got a smirk on her face and was proud as punch at her ‘nummy-nummies’ (My kids’ term for breastfeeding).  I definitely agree that she’s too young for implants.

…wait for it…

But what about eggplants?  20141023-PA230268
