Mommy Gossip

For the final installment in my Halloween series, I thought it fitting to share about my first date with T-Daddy.

First things first... Yep! I was an intern. And yep! I dated my boss. When both of our Halloween plans fell through, we—happily—decided to spend the evening together. Lawsuit in the making, I know! So sue me LOL!

The smart thinking man that he is, Roger (as I called him to my co-workers), planned a memorable trip to the Haunted Forest—perfect for holding hands, grabbing onto each other, and getting close.

Skipping over lots of tricks and treats and 12 years later, here we are. One big, happy and fortunately NOT haunted, family.

On with the Halloween-themed posts. I've already covered bats, witches, vampires, and pumpkins. Can't leave out our bony friends of the skeletal variety.

Which do you prefer? This?


Or this???



Tough choice, I know!

On with the Halloween-themed posts. I've already covered bats and vampires, both topics being a bit on the scary side (unless you are an Edward lover). So... I thought today's post could be about something more friendly—like pumpkins. So, enjoy a little orangey goodness from these pics!


Our garden produced 36 pumpkins this year. Remember, this is the garden we didn't plant, water, weed, or attend to whatsoever. So... the garden gets all the credit for these babies while we simply get to enjoy them in their many varieties of size, shape, and color!

Gardner Historic Village not only had a plethora of witches milling about. It also provided plenty o' pumpkins to snap pics in front of. Of course, my favorite variety were the pumpkin-shaped sugar cookies. But, didn't get a picture of those. I couldn't wait to eat 'em! Yummmmmmy!



And, here is Red Rover and Chatter Box, done with their sugar cookies and beyond tired of all the picture taking—beautiful pumpkins or not.

Happy Halloween!

As you can see from my last two posts, I have been going with a Halloween theme. And, as you may not be aware, I plan to do so until the big day arrives. Day 1 was about bats, which had a lot of peeps pretty grossed out. Yesterday was a little easier on the eyes with its bewitching theme. And today's theme, in celebration of the upcoming Twilight movie, is vampires.

Now, I know Twilight is all the rage, especially with the upcoming movie and all, but why have this vampire (imagine yourself in Bella's place)...



... when you could have this one?



But, in case Edward already had your heart, go here to learn about Tuesday's virtual girl's night out with guest hostess Lulaville talking all things Twilight.

Last weekend, we went on a little family excursion to a place near Salt Lake City, UT called Gardner Historic Village. This is one place that does Halloween right. I kicked off my Halloween posts with yesterday's batty tale (see next post). So, today, I decided to share pictures of my weekend family outing with you, a bewitching one at that. Hope this gets you in the mood for Halloween. Enjoy!
