Halloween 2009

I know this is way-late, but I've been going through files on my computer from the past 6 weeks so I can update the blog. I would just skip this stuff altogether, but the blog has become my scrapbook, so I really want to include it all because I'm also in the process of turning my past blog posts into book form (so it really IS going to be our family's scrapbook) - how cool! Check out www.blurb.com if you want to know what I'm talking about.

Anyway...here is our fun family outing on Halloween. A church in our city does a huge family festival - so we went again this year. This was just 4 days after Braden was born, so he was still in the hospital, but we had a good time with Sadie and my mom and sister. Enjoy!

The Fam (minus one)

Sadie LOVES the bounce house!

I love this picture!

I thought she would be scared of the horses, but she had a great time as you can see!

Mersadie got to play a lot of games - she got candy at each one, so she was really into this!

No tossing for Sadie, she just walked right up to the pumpkin and put the beanbags in the slots.

Mersadie LOVES her "Reece" and Mimi!

And I think she loves Mommy too!

Sadie and some of her best buds!

I wanna go Dizzy-Wand!

I don't know how Sadie figured out that Mickey Mouse lived at Disneyland and we lived close enough to be able to go to Disneyland, but every time she sees the commercial for Christmastime at Disneyland, she says she wants to go to "Dizzy-Wand". I usually tell her, "yes, baby, we'll go to Disneyland sometime soon, but not today". This usually satisfies her and she goes on to talk about how Mickey Mouse lives at Disneyland and then gets distracted by something else. Well, last night - my answer wasn't good enough and she WOULD NOT STOP saying "I wanna go Dizzy-Wand". I got tired of it and asked Brian if he would do something to get her to stop. His solution was what you find in the video. Nice. I picked up the video camera after about 2 minutes of this going on and it lasted another minute and a half. Not my idea of how to get her to stop saying it, but it worked... She was done after this.

And, yes, we will be taking Mersadie to Disneyland sometime soon. Just not today. Enjoy!
