Trick or Post!

Okay, here is the "big" post I've been meaning to post for a long time! So, this will span for a big period of time-just be prepared!
Here's Matt with his "girlfriend" Kaelyn.

Aren't they cute? Look at those smooth moves! They like each other but are still learning the fine points of sharing nicely.

Here's me with them. In case you're wondering, she is almost exactly one month younger than Matt.
We threw her mom, Jody, a suprise baby shower. She's expecting her second one in a couple weeks, and was sad because she thought no one was throwing her a shower. So we suprised her on Oct. 21st and she was super happy! I made her a diaper cake, which was two packs of tightly rolled diapers stacked like a cake with the gifts inside. I am not very crafty, and was very suprised how nice it came out!

Here's the front...

And the back! Those are shirts, by the way, one for Kaelyn and one for her little sister.

Here's Matt playing at his Great-Aunt Karen's house. He had a blast and was so cute I just had to take a video too.


Moving along to Halloween...those are our pumpkins! I had to carve them all this year because someone (no names!) didn't want to help! So that's why someones pumpkin looks stupid. Matt is the pukey one, and I'm laughing because I am such a nice mom.

As you know, Matt dressed up like Tigger for Halloween. He was wonderful for the face makeup, but couldn't stop picking at it! So...that's why Tigger's stripes aren't so Tiggeriffic.

Look Kaelyn, pretty hot light! Let me show you what happens when we touch it!
(Crispy Tigger!)

And the whole candy-hogging gang!

And we're off! To see the...lizard?

They didn't understand why they were going up to several strange houses and not going in at first, but candy is a strong motivator and they learned quickly. After trick-or-treating with Kaelyn, we broke off and I went with Matt and Kim (the littler blonde girl). We went to several neighborhoods and Matt would not let go of his bucket for anything. It was super heavy and filled to the top, but he kept marching on. Kim had me hold hers because hers was "too heavy", and Matt's was twice that. We had lots of fun and he had a lot of admirers. Can't wait until next year!

Of course on Tuesday, we voted. The polling place was at our apartment complex this year, so we didn't have to go far. Matt cheated the system and voted twice (hence the two stickers). He voted "yes" on prop. M: Extended rights to all kids named Matthew for unlimited viewing of the movie "Cars" and the right to consume massive loads of candy for every meal.

Apparantly, there is no prop. M as I was led to believe and his ballot wasn't counted. We are suing for discrimination.

Whooops, before I forget! Sean interviewed with the job recruiter for the job and took the test on SQL and had a great interview and a high (and higher than the other applicants) score. Tomorrow he does the interview with the company. Wish him luck!
