Halloween

I have always liked Halloween just fine. It is a good excuse for a party and I love to dress up and act stupid in all honesty. But since Bode came along it has a whole new meaning! I love it! I am so excited for Halloween this year! I kinda feel like a kid... I will really miss Maria's annual Halloween party! Bode loves his costume this year and gets excited when we put it on him. I just want to eat him he looks so dang cute!!

I dedicate this costume to my brother John. Everyone called him Tigger growing up and I think there are still people who know him by that name. Ever since I saw it at the store I have thought of him...Tigger.
This is John on the left with the gas tank. He kind of reminds me of a big kid in this picture. He definitely knows how to have fun! I sure love ya !

I've been TAGGED
I have been tagged by Heidi. The rules...player lists 6 facts/habits about themself at the end of the post, player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read our blog for the rules!

1. I usually wear socks to bed! I cannot sleep when my feet are cold. Brian thinks I am so weird.

2. I always feel bad for people. To the point of dwelling on it and making me sad.-People I know that are having a hard time, people I don't know, people I see on the street...everyone!- I am always pointing out people that I don't know anything about and telling Brian I feel bad for them. Brian always says, "You feel bad for everyone! I am sure that they are just fine." I can't help it, and I don't know why.

3. I like to be sentimental and sappy every once in awhile.

4. The mountains are like medicine to me.

5. I cannot get by with little sleep!! (ask Brian)

6. I love my family, and I love being a mom!!!

I tag: Mandy Peterson (because she tagged me), and anyone else who feels so inclined to tell us about their corky traits.

Bode looks so dang cute. We need to get our little guys together because Easton is going as Eeyore. I had so much fun seeing you this morning. I hope your birthday was great. Thanks for the comments on my blog. You always make me smile. I think it is great you have such a kind heart and always think of others.

I love that costume Kari! I am bummed about not having Maria and Doug's Halloween party too. If I was only motivated enough I could do it. I am glad they will be back for next Halloween. I have to agree with Amber about you having a kind heart. You are a sweetie.

Dang how come the costume picture isn't showing for me? Must be my computer, shoot! I am sure it is very cute though. My mom and I went to the Disney store the other day and I was dying. I couldn't get over how cute the costumes where. I seriously considered buying many of them. Even the Princess ones. I'll have a little princess one day that can where it right?

I'm sorry I am not having a party this year to give you an excuse to dress up. More time for you to plan a costume for next year!! You could never do Brian's job or mine because you are oversensitive about others. Brian's right - they are probably just fine. And if you want me to help you with some scenarios of why they are in that situation, I can come up with some real doozies. I feel bad at times too, but you can't let it eat you up inside. However, this sensitivity is what I love so much about you so I take back what I said - don't change. Stay oversensitive because everyone in the world needs you to be that way. It is the Yin and the Yang that makes the world function! By the way, I miss you. Wanna come to Phoenix with Bode anytime soon?

If only Kaila was piglet again this year, they would be compadres! Brandon said it was fun seeing you the other day too! You are such a good mom anf a good friend! So ya, I totally know about that trait of yours ... one of my favorite "quotable memories" of you is when we were in Hawaii and we heard the ambulance drive by, and you said, "oh! I hope no one's hurt!" We all laughed because ... obviously ..... well, you are just always so thoughtful!!
