Happy Elf Day!!

Yes, it's Elf Day again!! Yea!! December 1st we always have a special dinner and watch "Elf" for the first time this season. This year our special Elf activity is gingerbread houses. We have a whole village!

Mattie actually put more on the house that she ate! Success!
















My little perfectionist!

Plumbing Woes

Look at this mess. Good thing we have lots of WONDERFUL family to help!! Thanks to Dad M. , Dad Y., Jeff, Josh, and Tim!! You guys are the best!!

Fall is here!

Kai can roll over now!!

He gets his bootie high up in the air, then lets it fall over and uses that momentum to flip himself over.

He'll fuss on his belly, then flip over and smile at you. Hysterical!

Halloween!

Here is the 2009 version of Madewell Halloween House!

My favorite, and the mailman's, the huge spider web that you have to duck under to get on the porch.

I think when I made it, I measured it at 12 feet tall, 11 feet wide.

At night, the green light really spooks up the spider.

Mark made me two props this year. This is the first one. A full size coffin for my mummy. Isn't it great?! Max and Mattie's pumpkins really kill the mood...but I'm a good mom and we displayed them.

This is the other prop Mark made. An emerging coffin with light up skull. Isn't he the best husband ever!?

It's really creepy when the skull lights up. It fades to different colors. Mega cool.

Watch out for the Disco monster!

The cable man didn't make it.
