Love entering the minds of creative people... wondering how you ever thought of your costumes? The only things I ever come up with are the same things that have been done over and over. Oh and Jordan's stuck on the trick-or-treat phrase too:)

Love it...I'm glad I'm not the only one running out like a mad woman! Seems like I have so many days with nothing to do, then BAM it all hits at once! Glad you made it through!

jules love the documentarian approach to your day. now only if the camera battery had not died we would have visuals of each time stamped entry. love the costumes and those shoulder pads are to DIE for. lol

Understandable why you weren't at church, but why were blogging instead of SLEEPING?!
