I'm a mean old witch

Actually... I am not mean (or old, or a witch I guess...) but it is sure fun to dress up for Halloween and get into the spirit of things. Last night we went to a Halloween party for the Optometry students and we had a great time. Derek was such a good sport. He really doesn't understand my obsession with Halloween and the fact that I love to dress up even though I'm 25. Yet- because he loved me he donned the Vampire cape and even let me FULLY paint his face. (For all of you Stephanie Meyer fans... I had the vampire costume picked out long before I read Twilight, Eclipse, and New moon) and I wish I'd have gotten a better picture- he looked C-O-O-L. I got off easy because I got my entire costume from my sis Mel. She even paid for the shipping... isn't that nice? It was so funny and we looked quite festive if I may say so myself. We had fun playing Halloween games and I love the picture of Easton eating the donut- he was serious about getting that donut! Easton won best costume and he got to take home a pumpkin. I think he won because the entire night he wouldn't come out of character and just kept "flying" around the room. I can't wait to see him loaded up sugar come the 31st.

He really wanted the donut!

The "after party". I swear he did this to hiself!!!

Is it wrong to love an apple?

I have found a new love. It may sound silly to love and apple I know. But this is a new apple. No ordinary apple. It is a Honeycrisp. Crisp, juicy, tart, sweet, everything a perfect apple should be. These are a new "breed" I guess. They are REALLY expensive ( on sale like $2/ lb) but totally worth it. I'll never be satisfied by another apple again- seriously. I made homemade caramel and as I dipped every slice and savored every bite, I was in another world. A better world.

I've been tagged!!!

I've been tagged! The rules are that you list 6 facts/habits about yourself then at the end of the post name 6 people that you are going to tag. then they do it...

So... here we go...

ONE.

I can (and do) stand on my head.

TWO.

I hate to cook. I love to bake, but I find figuring out what to cook and doing all the work very boring and monotonous. Food never tastes good to me after I prepare it and I get so BORED in the kitchen! I told Derek that I wish I were never hungry because eating is a pain and it just never ends: cook. Eat. full. snacky. hungry. cook... see??? what a pain!

THREE.

I checked out the soundtrack to Wicked from our library and I am totally obsessed with the play now. I love all the songs and I even googled the synopsis and got the whole download on the Broadway play. Easton even know the songs and I you better believe next time it's in town I will be in the nosebleed section. I LOVE MUSICALS!!!

FOUR.
In recent years I have become slightly obsessed with shoes. I blame this on my roommate Kelsie at Snow because her mountain of shoes in the bottom of our closet was like a treasure and it is so fun when you have options. You can have a pair of shoes you love and they never shrink in the wash, never fit to tight if you gain a few lbs, never "don't fit right" after pregnancy, etc... I wish I had more money- and if I did I would spend it on shoes.

FIVE.
Speaking of $$$ I am a total sucker for bargain. I have noticed recently that I have become one of those annoying people that have to say how much they paid for something after every time anyone says anything about it. I need to stop that. I love getting good deals though and I think if I do- everyone else must surely appreciate my thriftiness.
SIX.
I am totally in love and borderline obsessed with my sisters. People I know must get so sick of me comparing every situation to them and all my friends know all their life stories. I just think I have been so blessed and I think I have the most amazing sisters. From the time I was a baby they dressed me up and took me everywhere and never made me feel like a tag-along. They have taught me so mush and been so giving to me. We have been through some really tough times and some really fun times and I know that they are Heavenly Fathers gift to me to help me through this crazy life. LOVE THEM!!!

OKAY... there's me. Now I tag: Bekah, Shelly, Charlynn, Sheila, Brooke, Jewels

HAVE FUN!!!
