Charades Anyone?

Our kids love to play charades. Tonight was no exception. We have had to get pretty creative to keep the older boys interested. Josh gave a particularly convincing role this evening as a dung beetle (past performances include chameleon, three-toed sloth, and barnacle). What boy wouldn't enjoy an animal that actually rolls up and throws its own poo. Josh, like always, you continue to keep us laughing!

Halloween Fun

So I posted these pics on my old blog the night before I freaked out and deleted it. So just in case you didn't get enough of Halloween, check out Sam as a football player, Josh (yes, that is Josh) as a vampire, and Hannah as a witch. I think their costumes really reflect their personalities.

PS I am already ignoring the #1 rule on KSL....DO NOT PUT UP PICTURES OF YOUR KIDS. Hopefully the disguises camouflage their true identity...

PSS Ben had a lion costume but he hated it. He went as an angry baby this year.

Why Not

Why not walk up to a woman dressed like the Statue of Liberty on a corner just outside Central Park.....I'll tell you why not, she'll grab your hand and put you on a box and force you to wear her crown. Somehow Liz was coerced into the picture too. The other two friends managed to stop laughing long enough to get pictures. Fortunately for us all my embarrassment can be preserved for posterity.

PS I am still waiting for more pics from my friends to post. Hopefully there aren't any of us at 2:00 in the morning in our hotel laughing our guts out!

Good Read

I am just finishing My Sister's Keeper. It is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Here is a synopsis:

My Sister’s Keeper is a poignant, uplifting, emotional, sad, triumphant, passionate, heartwrenching and extremely powerful story about the Fitzgeralds, a family united in their love for each other but divided on exactly where the boundaries of family obligations, love and sacrifice should end. But it is, ultimately, a story of two sisters, the unbreakable bond they share and how totally entwined they have been all their lives until a crucial decision threatens to tear them apart and ends up changing all the lives forever.

If you are in the mood for a good book, pick this one up and let me know what you think!

A Little Paranoid

Okay, so after a story on KSL news about blogging, I totally freaked out and deleted my blog. A few minutes later I realized how much information was on that thing and how many hours I had spent blogging. It was definitely a knee-jerk reaction, but hey, when you're a mom things that have to do with safety and your family freak you out! Anyway, I'm over myself now, but if you are an axe-murderer, psychopath, serial rapist, child molester, or any other freak of nature get the hell off my blog! That being said, I have learned a few tricks of blogging and will be a little more discreet with the information I put up. Anyway, what could I do without a place to vent about life. I didn't realize how much I like posting until my opportunity was gone.
