HalLoWeEn NiGhT!

Halloween night was a lot funner than I thought it would be! I bought a spider costume from Walmart that Avery would NOT wear. So, the day of Halloween Harley and I had to come up with something. I had purchased her a black turtle neck and leggings to go under the spider costume. We thought we may as well still use them and just find some costume accessories to make her into a kitty. Then, I remembered I had an old bumble bee costume that I wore over 7 years ago. So, as you can see, Harley and I made a bumble bee costume for her to wear and she LoVeD it! She loved the wings. We weren't sure how she was going to react to the whole trick-or-treating thing so Harley went out with her first to get a feel of what she would be like for Heather and Jeff when they came up to take her for some serious trick-or-treating. She was a PRO! She was completely elated that you could go to a strangers house, have your parent say some silly thing in a silly tone, and the stranger gives you CANDY!!! Awesome! I ended up going with Heather and Jeff to take my baby trick-or-treating. Sure enough, Harley was right~we were done way before Avery. Next time we're pulling her in a wagon!

PuMpKin CarVinG!

What a FUN time this was! It's a family tradition at the Roskelleys of pumpkin carving. It seems like it starts earlier and earlier every year! But, thats good because some family members get pretty ambitious and creative with their carving ideas. For instance, Harley wanted to be different this year and do a Harley Davidson pumpkin. It took a LONG time to finally figure out how he was going to carve his pumpkin after printing out several images off the internet. It can get pretty competitive but, SO much fun!

The kids got to make mini caramel apples with sprinkles and nuts!MMMM. They also used marshmallows to dip in the caramel! They had so much fun!

Cherry Limeaid & Sprite! MMMMMM!

Today we mixed cherry limeaid and sprite together for a delicious drink...we poured the sprite in the glass, poured the limeaid packet into the sprite and when I started to stir the mixture together it went all over the counter! So, Harley thought it would be a good idea for him and Avery to lick it off the counter. They both ended up with red faces!

The First Snow!

I can't believe that it snowed! WOW! A lot too! Harley warned me before I got up that it had snowed last night but, geez! I didn't think that much had fallen. Avery looked out the window and her first words as she looked at the snow was "no way!"lol. It was great. Heather took Avery out back and they made a snow man! Isn't it great!!

Oh BABY!

So Harley and I have made it a point to get out for a date night at the very least once a month~we're bad! I won't lie it gets hard after you have a child but, that can't be an excuse! For us, it's really important to have some time to reconnect. I know most of you already know that we're expecting another baby but, here's the official news for the blog! Yes, we are expecting another. I'm roughly 7 weeks~WAY early. We're keeping our fingers crossed! Harley's keeping his fingers crossed that it will be a boy (of course). Anyways, pray for us please!;}

Napping

Avery won't nap in her crib anymore so we have her take her naps on the couch. Today she actually started out vertical and ended up like...this! Sometime I wonder what it would be like to sleep THAT soundly!lol No doubt this child gives us challenges but, its moments like these we know why a child like this was given to us. She is certainly OUR child!
