Trick-or-treat brevity

Posted by Trisha on Oct 30, 2007 in Halloween

We took the boys to Zoo Boo last night. I only got a couple of pictures, so I’m only posting pics of them in their costumes. Obviously, I’ll have more tomorrow between Alex’s Halloween program, the twins’ parade at school, and trick-or-treating tomorrow night. I’m pretty happy with Zach’s costume, now. We decided to pin [...]

JELL-O Ween Poke Brownies

Today is Alex’s snack day. It also happens to be picture day for him, so I wanted to make him a fun halloween themed snack that wouldn’t get everyone’s dress clothes all messy (even though snack is after pictures). I always try for a themed snack, either based on a holiday that is approaching, a [...]

Driving a hybrid makes you better

Posted by Trisha on Oct 28, 2007 in General, life

…than everyone else. Or, apparently that’s whay some hybrid drivers think. I’ve never looked down upon people who drive hybrids. If they believe they are doing their part to save the world, more power to them. We don’t drive hybrids, for 2 main reasons. One is the cost. Buying a hybrid costs much more than [...]

Yippee!!! Halloween costume success :)

Posted by Trisha on Oct 27, 2007 in Halloween

Blooregard Q. Kazoo is finally done! Here are the last 3 steps of the costume: Here, I’m using stitch witchery to secure a hoola hoop around the bottom to help keep the roundness of Bloo’s character: Here is Bloo with no face: And here is the final product. I cut holes in the eyes so [...]

He has a face

Posted by Trisha on Oct 25, 2007 in Halloween

I have given up trying to get my sewing machine work in time for halloween. I have decided to go with the iron-on adhesive tape and I’ll whip stitch it to give it extra security. In the meantime, Bloo has a face: Zach has decided he likes this face the best: The only difference is [...]

Creating Blooregard Q. Kazoo

Posted by Trisha on Oct 16, 2007 in Halloween

We decided to go shopping for halloween costume parts this evening. We don’t need anything for Ryan’s costume. He’s going as Mack, from Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. Alex’s costume we are pricing. He wants to be Spiderman, and we weren’t willing to pay $24 without looking around to see if it’s cheaper somewhere else. [...]

Blog-humbug

Posted by Trisha on Oct 15, 2007 in General, blogging, life

I haven’t been in a particularly bloggy mood lately. I’m still sick, but finally starting to feel some relief. I was doubly sick last week, but I’ll spare you the details of why. Even through yesterday, I just felt miserable. I have been so tired from being sick and the meds I’m taking don’t help. [...]

AlGore has won

Posted by Trisha on Oct 12, 2007 in News

Al Gore has won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. Well, he co-won with the UN. I’m starting to think the Nobel Peace Prize is loosing its meaning. I don’t know what global warming has to do with peace, but apparently that doesn’t matter anymore. Looks like they have awarded this years prize based on an [...]
