Trunk or Treat

Our ward is lame and doesn't do trunk or treats, so thankfully we were able to go to my dad's. Even before I was pregnant, I always dreamed of doing a family costume of us as Rapunzel, Flynn, and Pascal. I was so excited this year to finally make that happen. I borrowed the skirt from my mom, made the shirt myself, and had plans to do a homemade chameleon costume for Aaron but walked into Target one day and saw they already had them for only $20! It was perfect. 

Well, except for the fact that the vest Sammy had made him look like he was going to a wedding, not like Flynn Rider. He refused to wear anything. I'm going to be honest, I was a little upset. I'd had this Pinterest vision in my mind all year of how we'd look, and we'd look so great that the picture would find a way onto our living room wall. 

Looking back at it now, I feel a little silly. I'm really trying to work on not getting this grand visions of how things should go, so that I'm not upset about things that in the long scheme of things, don't really matter. We had a great night, we were together, and Aaron was stinking cute. That's all that matters. 
His little tail was my favorite!
He only wore the costume for about ten minutes, then he was done. He was doing great until someone came in dressed up as a blow up baby trump. Then he got very upset. Same kid, same. 


They had a chili cookout too and Aaron ate a bunch of chili. Probably because it was my chili haha! We told the guy who made that chili and he was very flattered. 



Aaron spent most of the night pushing a folding chair across the gym while all the kids played in a carnival. He was happy to have such a big place to play in.

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
