Garrett accepted his spider costume without much fuss. He really wanted to be a goose. Gavin was psyched about his very traditional ghost costume. Bodie didn't have a choice, his costume was the third revolution of our hand me down skeleton. It's a classic - and it matches my glow-in-the-dark Misfits skeleton shirt!

Well, this week includes Halloween! My parents will be coming in town for the weekend and will get to spend it with our kids for the first time.

Sara asked the boys what they wanted to be this time, and Gavin knew right away. "A spooky ghost!" he said. Great! That's about as simple as it gets. Garrett, always the contrarian, wants to be "A goose." A ghost and a [...]

Lots of new recipes I've been wanting to try on the menu this week. I went through my huge pile of recipe clippings and threw out a lot of stuff that didn't look good anymore. I also threw out the recipes I was able to find online and add to my virtual recipe box. So, I do feel a lot more organized. The pile is smaller... but it still looks like something I'll neve [...]
