Later That Night... Halloween Part 2

I finally got around to editing the pictures I took on Halloween. Each member of my family got the opportunity to sport the red wig that is decidedly "Melissa Style" hair. See for yourself.

Chloe wears it like Veronica Lake. Very chic over one eye. If you listen closely, you can hear her growling at the experience.





Next on the runway is Boo. He, too, was rather upset at having to model red curls. I think he looks most like a creature from Star Wars. Here Chloe also pulls of a nice "catwoman."


Next we have Madi. This is her glamor shot. She finally stopped trying to EAT the wig.



But then she started to fall asleep.... but still, very glamorous.



Every time the doorbell rang with little trick-or-treat people, the dog went crazy. So dad had to hold her by the leg. It was kinda funny.


Speaking of Dad, here he is with the do. I think he looks like Howard Stern. HAHA.



Mom was just too funny. I got so many great pictures, I had to put them together like a photobooth. :) She sure has a great laugh! It doesn't really even look like a wig on her either. This is mom circa 1995.


Ahhh, and the brother, Marky. I think Twisted Sister runs in the family. This time, it's not me, it's him. The second is a rare smile- it lasted a split second, but I caught it!

I tried some monster lighting on myself...

I was bummed to be stuck at home for study's sake, but it turned out to be fun anyway. :)

Madison/ Halloween Part 1

Early on Halloween evening, Madi and I went up the mountain to see the sunset. It was so beautiful! And I enjoyed spending some peaceful time with this happy puppy.







She was running like a lark through the bushes.

The skies have been so fanstastically lit lately. I keep trying to capture them, but I think I need to take some photography lessons to get it right.

Too Cute

Today I let the kids write letters to their parents. One little boy wrote this: "Dear mom. This is me and you mom. I love you. love Gabriel." He chose this picture to go with it:

Grrr

This would make for an interesting Sea World show.

America's Soul

The election isn't over yet, but I already hear people freaking out about our rights being taken away... our radio shows censored, our guns banned, our churches closed and our pastors imprisoned....

Quite honestly, I think it is rubbish to talk like that. Maybe that day will come to America, but I don't think it's tomorrow- no matter who wins the election. :/ I am disappointed that America decided to turn its brain off at this time. We can't afford it.

In the end, I can't be a nay-sayer... I trust that God has it all planned out. He is always working for His glory and our good. Who can complain with that?

Is this what happens to you when you finish college?

I'm scared.
