Halloween Part 1 and Random Chloe Shots

This week I went and visited my good friend Robyn and Aunt in Flagstaff, AZ. It was a fun little trip. I decided to try out my black and white and sephora (?) features on my camera. So here are the results. If you would like me to take you pictures I only charge a minimal fee, or I also accept a plate of baked goods.


Last night we went to a rocking Halloween Party. The people who threw it go all out. They probably spend more on their parties than I did on my wedding. We drank our lemonade and sampled the delicous buffet. Then we boogied on the dance floor. Our costumes were however quite difficult to dance in as you can see. Also, quite difficult to sit in. Actually impossible. We got lots of compliments (thanks Robyn) and we thought we had a chance at winning the Costume competition. But then some people showed up dressed like the hosts of the party, which was pretty funny, and unbeatable, so alas we did not win. We hung our lids (heads) low, and swaggered out of the party, only to return to our car in utter defeat. As my grandma would say, "fun was had by all."

It's a bib! I remember I got a bib for my baby shower and I thought to myself....hmmmm, I should return this and get something else because I can't imagine what I would need a bib for....WRONG!! Now I am obsessed with cute bibs. So anyway, this is going on my Christmas list. Along with a new bathroom. That's all.

Ground Breaking

Yesterday Don and I went to a Ground Breaking Ceremony for a client he helped find a property to build his gym. It was indeed Groundbreaking as it was freezing outside. This is a normal occurance for other parts of the country during Fall, but for us we were a little shocked. Plus it was really windy. So it was fun feeling like it was Fall! Our friend took some pictures which I love so I want to include all of them. You realize your camera is not that great when someone with a really nice camera takes pictures. But I am not complaining, I am happy with our camera. Chloe loved the wind-she was getting tickled with every gust that hit her face.

Bone To Pick

Okay so I have a little bone to pick! What is up with EBAY???!!! Do I not get the purpose of Ebay? THOUGHT it was to get good deals on things, so here is what I don't understand-why do people pay prices on EBAY that are way more expensive than just buying them at the store? Someone please help me understand this mystery! I am bringing this up because I was looking for some tights on Ebay to go with Chloe's Halloween Fairy costume. Someone told me to check Ebay for a good deal. So retail these tights are going for $7.00. Ebay...The bid is now at $30.00. Why would anyone pay $30.00 for an accessory to a Halloween costume. I know they are cute, but COME ON PEOPLE!!! So I was a little bit irritated. I know these tights are sold out at Gymboree, but it is not like they are made out of gold thread. So that is what I have to say about Ebay. Except for I do have one nice thing to say about Ebay. I bought an entertainment armoir for $75 from Ebay and I think I got a steal of a deal on that one. Brand New-Put together-picked up in the area. Awesome. Oh here is another example- A Baby Bumbo at the store- 39.00, no shipping charges, no wait. Ebay, $40.00 plus shipping, plus waiting. Why?? I just don't get it. Have a great day!

There's A New Blogger in Town

Well what can a say, I follow the crowd. I joined the bandwagon. Everyone has blogs and I wanted to have one too. I have a My Space account but it is not the best blog because you have to have a My Space account to view it. So I have created this one. However, this is not as user friendly to put together like My Space is. I am experimenting with this and trying to figure out how it all works. I am not exactly happy with the format yet, but I will figure it out!

Things are fine in sunny Arizona. The weather is cooling down to the 80's. Mostly upper and mid eighties. Hey, I'll take it! I took Chloe out for a walk yesterday during the middle of the day-something I have not done in a while! My dad brought me some canned pumpkin so I have been going wild with pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies. Eating them that is. Thus, the need for a long walk. I have to say the bread was ick. And for 2 sticks of butter you would expect a lot more than a big hard brick.

Don has been really busy with his Masters Program and I pretty much stare at Chloe all day. But I enjoy staring at her. I think she gets tired of staring at me though. And well that is about all for right now. Bye!
