7 weird/random things about me

I got tagged to tell 7 weird/random things about myself.  I post, and then I tag seven more people to post.  We'll see if I even can think of 7 people to tag.

1.  I have never done a tag before.  Seriously I have been tagged more times than I can count in emails, and I have never ever responded.  So it is weird that I am doing this one.

2.  I love cruises.  For our honeymoon, we did Cabo/Puerto Vallarta/Mazatlan, for our 10 year anniversary we did Key West/Bahamas/Cozumel, and a year ago we did Cabo/Ensenada with our kids and my parents.  What do I like the most about them?  Well, as a mom, it is HEAVEN to not have to worry about where and when and how the next meal is coming.  Even on other vacations I have to worry about this, but not on a cruise!  So much extra space in the mind freed up for other enjoyments.

3.  Conversely, I love to cook and to bake.  I love to try new things, and I wish my family would love absolutely everything I made.  I guess I just don't like to feel the responsibility of providing food for the family.

4.  I have been running A LOT to lose my baby weight from Adam.  I thought I hated it.  I thought I only did it because I had to and it is the fastest way for me to shed the weight.  Well, last week my treadmill broke, and I had to wait a week to get it repaired.  I just about lost my mind all week because I couldn't use it.  I guess I don't hate it like I thought I did.

5.  I love a bargain.  It's hard for me to like shopping with kids, but I sure do like to find a deal.  I hate paying full price for anything.  I rarely will do it.

6.  My current favorite beverage is Diet Pepsi Vanilla.  It calms me.  I love Dots candy and licorice.  Same effect.  Of course, almost anything chocolate, which I try to eat sparingly because of the nursing thing.

7.  I think I have the loudest kids in the world.  I wonder how it happened, where they got it.  I guess it must be me, because it's certainly not Craig.  I suspect that I may be slightly deaf, because I absolutely can NOT hear the TV when Craig has the remote when we are watching it at night in bed.  Without fail, I have to say, "Turn it up, please."

Sorry if I tag you, I just don't have that many options.  I tag Sheila, Sherrie, Amy Liz, Jen, Melinda, and anyone who reads this who feels like doing it.

Halloween Costumes

This year our family went with classic Halloween characters. It was the first year that Megan and Ashlyn were scary characters. We had a great time trick or treating because Nonnie and Poppie were in town. Plus, the weather was absolutely fabulous, probably 60 degrees, which is wonderful for Halloween. Adam was "Baby Bones." He didn't do any trick or treating, but we had fun dressing him up.

Ashlyn was the "Gossamer Ghost." We saw a costume online called that, but instead of ordering it, we made our own version. It turned out great. You can't see, but her wig is three feet long.

Carly made sure everyone knew she was a "cute witch," not a scary witch. I had made this for Meg when she was 4.

Megan was the Bride of Frankenstein. Her costume turned out great, too, I think.

Family Photos

We had family pictures taken in October. If you go to the link below and look for AA Henderson, you can click and view a slide show of the pictures we took. We thought some of you might enjoy seeing them. After you hit the play button it may take a few minutes for the slide show to load.
