Look What I Did!

So we are at the mad dash to the finish line with this baby. I have a list with about 30 things that I felt needed to be done before she arrived. Then I got sick. Not just a little wimpy cough; full blown cold with hacking cough, lost voice, and 24 hour stomach flu on top. Basically I have been laid out all week on the couch wishing I was no longer breathing because then I couldn't cough anymore. At least laying on the couch afforded me the time to finish 1 of the projects on my list. I finished knitting the outfit I am going to bring the baby home in. It's my first project besides blankets for stuffed animals, scarfs, and hats. It was actually really, really fun, but not the easiest thing to do when you are self taught. As long as no one looks too closely it looks pretty good. Hopefully I don't have a gigantic baby (like Eric's brothers) and the baby will fit in it for the trip home at least.
So the door may not be hung in the baby's room, the bassinet is still out in the garage, and the changing table is still wrapped up, but heck, my baby will look stylish coming home. We all have to have priorities, I guess.
Last night we had our church trunk or treat. In Lincoln it was this major production that took hours and the kids bags were filled with horrible goodies that I would eventually end up eating. Cars were decorated, there was a carnival inside, and a chili contest for the adults. It's a little different here in Scottsbluff. The kids made the rounds in about 10 minutes and then we went to eat chili and cinnamon rolls inside. I felt pretty sick still, but since I will be missing trick-or-treating this year I thought I would go to this so I had a Halloween memory with the kids. We showed up at 6 and left at 7. It was AWESOME. All church activities should be like that. You go and enjoy things and then you go home, no stress. Anyways I have some cute pics of the kids in their costumes and since I probably wont get around to Halloween pics until mid-March I thought I'd post these instead.Ella thouroughly enjoying just the icing from one of the cinnamon rolls. Poor Eric got to eat the rest.The kids getting ready with Dad. Ella is, of course, Pincess Aurora, and Ethan is the black power ranger, who, as everyone who is anyone knows, is the coolest of power rangers.
A little bit blurry, but you get the idea. Ella felt beautiful and wanted to pose for every picture. Ethan I guess felt like the bad guy on Scream, but he makes this face now in every pictures. Future girlfriends will think he had a spastic muscle disorder for an entire year of his life. Oh well.
