Not a New Baby Post

So when Joel and Brittany came down for Dad's birthday Joel brought with him a set of giant model teeth (because who doesn't travel with their model teeth?) and Gage was intrigued by the boxes. So he asked Joel what was in them. And Joel told him, truthfully, giant teeth. Apparently Gage then turned to Reid and said, "see, I KNEW giants were real."

For Halloween we went to Laurel & Brandon's and Brandon likes to do the sit-on-the-porch-like-a-statue-and-scare-kids thing. Danica was pretty unsure about him in his costume. She was scared, but she kept telling everyone it was just Brandon. But she was still scared. Fast forward to yesterday morning, she woke up ridiculously early and came to cuddle me, and for about an hour she told me about how Uncle Brandon dressed as a scary pocket screamer (I have no idea) and how it was just Uncle Brandon. Then she sang me "I am a Child of God" with the lyrics "parents kind of here." I thought it probably a little too appropriate.

The truth is I didn't take very many good Halloween pictures. Mom did though, so I'm going to skeeve them off her camera shortly. Stay tuned.

Trunk or treat:

Carving Pumpkins:

So Gager likes things precise...he didn't want to draw the lines himself, like Reid did, or have a free-form design. He wanted it EXACTLY like the scarecrow decoration we've got upstairs. He did do some of the carving himself though. Reid, on the other hand, pretty much did it all by himself (except the icky insides bit). I think it is funny how Reid likes the process and will try anything, and Gage likes the outcome so he wants things particular. Anyway...

Also: still no baby. Are you shocked? Me neither.
