Over the river and through the woods

Y'all, we're about to take a road trip. A very long road trip. One thousand, one hundred, seventy-nine and two-tenths of a mile miles to be exact. The cost of three airline tickets ($1000+ for the three of us) was just too expensive for our journey to the Land of 10,000 Lakes this year for Thanksgiving. So we're driving...with a three-year-old. Are we insane? Possibly. On drugs? We may wish we were by the time we get there.

I'm going to try and be a good blogger on this trip since I've been a bad one this year. Perhaps entering the age of the iPhone will take away any excuses I have for not updating the blog on the road. Perhaps I shouldn't make promises. For now, bags are (almost) packed, lists have been made, pet care has been established (the pets are staying - we're not that nuts, people), and snacks/drinks/movies/toys have been purchased.

By the time we get back, we'll be drinking pop instead of soda, eating hot dish instead of casserole, and substituting words like "spendy" for expensive.


See? Long.

Halloween Flashbacks

All right then, see ya Halloween 2011. It was nice knowing ya. How about a look at Halloweens past since our little man first made his appearance:


If we both look a little tired, it probably had something to do with never sleeping ever.


Giraffe and Giraffe Wrangler.


Amery had a little obsession with checking the mailbox this year. I was a love letter from Miss Avah B. in Colorado.

You already know the story of the Different Kind of Robot. I was a nerdy science fair winner.

I took a couple of little videos last night too, but no time to mess with them at the moment. Check back in a couple of days.
