In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

 I love, love, love the little movie clips that you find on the church website.  If I have nothing really to do I meander over to lds.org and see what new clips they have posted.  Nerdy I know, but they find a way to touch my heart and bring me and my family closer to Christ.  


I especially liked this one because at the end of it, it shows a clip of the talk that President Monson gave on gratitude.  I love the way he coined the phrase "attitude for gratitude"  


So in the spirit of Thanksgiving..... check out this one and there is another one that is really good and puts you in the mood for Thanksgiving


In the Spirit of Thanksgiving

Nowadays,

So, If I were to be a 'top notch' mom/blogger I would post all of these AMAZING Halloween pictures. But as it turns out, things have been a little more than hectic around our house and it seems as if we have completely LOST our camera battery charger and hence, no real Halloween 2010 pics. None-the-less, I can report, it was actually a great Halloween this year.


Our Halloween 2010 consisted of 2 Trunk-or-Treats and a Halloween Bash at my Aunt Natalie's (as usual).  Britta was Foofa from Yo Gabba Gabba and I was so very proud of her costume.  I would love to say I made it by myself BUT, my mom mostly made it, I was a helper. SHOUT OUT to the most amazing domestic goddess I know, my MOM!  It turned out great, but I am not sure many people knew what she was because you would just have been a pink little girl running around with sprayed pink hair if you had never seen the show.  We got good guesses though! We got a jelly bean, a flower, and a few other "oh, she is so cute.... what is she?" So my lesson has been learned... just buy the stupid, cheap-butt, store bought costume! 


Now it is November and we are looking forward to Thanksgiving! When I was younger (as in my teens) I actually HATED Thanksgiving.  After Gunnar and I were married and I gained a whole new family I have learned to LOVE Thanksgiving because of them!  Hopefully our camera will be up and running by then and we will have pics for Thanksgiving 2010.  Well, at least I can hope for it! 


Ps. Lets be honest I am more pushing to get the camera up and running for "The Weepies" concert on the 23rd but hey, thats the same week as Thanksgiving so it counts! 


Hope you all had a great Halloween and are enjoying the beautiful fall season!
