Halloween

As I may have mentioned before, I had attempted to make Emmy's Tinkerbell costume this year. It actually turned out okay (just don't look too closely!) and she LOVED wearing it. Everytime we put it on her she had to run to the mirror to parade about! We didn't do too much trick-or-treating, however. The weather was so darn nasty and rainy, so we just went to my parent's and to Mike's parent's houses.

Not too much else has been going on here. Emma is getting more and more vocal everyday--and doesn't hesitate anymore to tell us EXACTLY what she is wanting. Her newest thing that she loves to do is dance to her daddy's Led Zeppelin CD--and she seems to dance even more creatively when naked (don't ask!). I've been pretty bummed that my camcorder is in for repair because we have had so many nights of laughing hysterically as she dances away! Hopefully it will be back for the holidays!

Mike has been back to work now, after having about a week off. Unfortunately, now that the weather is getting nasty, he has to do an outside job this week. And why can't they do this in the summer?!

School has been keeping me pretty busy, as usual. As I notice many of friends getting REALLY burnt out and frustrated, I realized that I hit that point LAST year, and am finally feeling a bit more laid back about the whole thing. Sure, it's still stressful trying to keep up with everything, but not quite as bad. I guess it could be because I've already started counting down 'til early June...
