just call me supermum

We are soooooo excited for Halloween!
Tonight when SuperDad.....I mean Joe gets home we are going to Pei Wei, and then we will watch Mad Monster Party and have some gingerbread hot cocoa*.
Tomorrow we will carve a pumpkin and do some trick or treating and reveal our costume choices.
It is a surprise to some..... including Joe!
We bought Boo's but I hand-created the others!
These pics are your hint!

How cool is it that she has red hair!
Go BatMum Go!!!!!!

*to make gingerbread cocoa simply add a seasonal gingerbread teabag to cocoa and enjoy!

pumpkin patch, texas style

how to enjoy a pumpkin patch in texas:

first pay admission of $14
feed goats with food you paid$14 for
then pose for pictures with your curly hair
next run all over pumpkin patch while your dad chases you and your mum takes pictures
fearlessly feed a longhorn with leftover $14 food
rest
pose for more pictures
at last drive home

lovely lovely day and worth far more then $14........

modern mom

Felicity Huffman was quoted on Celebrity Baby Scoop blog with her opinion regarding the difference between an old fashioned mom and a modern mom:

"I'll start with my definition of an old-fashioned mom: a mom who puts the needs of everyone else above hers to her own detriment. A modern mom respects herself and honors her needs on par with those of her family."
