Having Babies Make Your Hair Curl?

When I was little, I always wanted curly hair. I totally blame the 80's perm craze. I've always had the thickest hair on the planet...so attempts to curl or perm it were usually disastrous. It would either come out too curly or not curly enough. I actually remember PRAYING to God, asking to have curly hair. Seriously!
As I got older, the whole curly hair thing wasn't as important...the straightening iron became cool and I was proud of the fact that I could easily straighten my (already straight) hair. I still wished for curly hair sometimes though...I had a friend in college with gorgeous curly hair...all she had to do was step out of the shower and throw some product in her hair and she looked like she had just stepped out of the salon! Not fair, God.
After I had Lorelai, I began to have trouble with my hair. It started in the back of my head and started to spread. I couldnt get it to lay flat and it was getting more pouffy by the day.
My hair is now curly! I kid you not!
Something about being pregnant totally changed my hair. I can now step out of the shower, throw some product in, and it's wavy.
It's weird how things work out sometimes!

Master Carver

For years before I met him, Tim worked in construction. I love having a husband that is so handy...and I love to see how his handy-ness spills into everything he tackles.
When we were first dating, we carved a pumpkin together. This wasn't just your run of the mill pumpkin carving...Tim thought it would be best if we used HIS JIGSAW! Boy was the face on that pumpkin perfect!
We also built a gingerbread house when we were dating. I kid you not, he couldn't build that gingerbread house without a tape measure. I have a picture somewhere of us building that house. For all I know, he probably used a level, too.
This week, we carved our pumpkin. Tim searched the internet for ideas and we settled on a pirate theme. He must have spent OVER AND HOUR carving that gourd! The results were great, though. We can't wait to light it up tonight!

A Few Cool Points For Canada

Guess what movie was on PRIME TIME TV when I was in Canada the other night?
X Files Fight the Future!

Costume Consensus

So...I finally decided what to dress us as for a Halloween party I am attending with Tim.
When I was little, I was always allowed to participate in Halloween activities...the only thing that was frowned upon in my family was devil or witch costumes.
We know exactly what happens when something is off-limits for a child: child can't wait to partake in forbidden thing once they are an adult (or earlier, once they know they can hide the forbidden partaking).
I got a fab deal on the devil kit at Jo-Ann's...Im cutting up my black graduation gown to make a spooky dress. I even got the scary makeup!
Greatly looking forward to indulging my spooky side.

Photo Shoot (Me)

I took these photos of Lorelai a few weeks ago. All I can say is now that she is walking, photography is not so easy. These photos aren't exactly the best I've ever done, and they required me to get very sweaty and Lorelai to start crying.
I still love her bunches.

Who Wants To Be My Halloween Hero?

Ok....I need ideas for a halloween costume. I am in the process of sewing Lorelai's costume (somewhat annoyed with myself for this...do I always have to be "martha" with this stuff?), so I'd rather not have to do much work...also don't really want to spend too much money either...I've already begun Christmas shopping!
Extra points if you have a costume in your closet I can borrow. *hint, hint*
