Halloween '07

Ok, I know I have been super behind on my posts, but I've been feeling terrible! I really thought I was over morning sickness, but it came back. I've figured out that I get really sick when I eat meat (as I did when I was pregnant with Ainsley) so I do well as long as I avoid meat. Although I ate some pizza last night that had the pepperoni under the cheese so I thought it was cheese pizza. Needless to say, I was up all night! And I would have been in bed all day today if I didn't have to go to the doctor for pink-eye! Yeah, as if I needed something else, I got pink-eye. I'm pretty sure I got it from the shopping cart handle at Wal-Mart because I haven't been anywhere else this week. Oh well, at least I caught it early so it shouldn't harm the baby.

Ok, enough pity party for today! We had a great Halloween! We went up to Clint's office at 4:00pm for trick-or-treating and Ainsley LOVED it! When walked out the building she said, "Ainsley has fun! Ainsley has candy!" She got to see all the work Daddy did while he was in China (she thought his layouts had pretty colors!) and saw several of her friends from church. Then after we got home she had 5 little friends come by to trick-or-treat all at the same time so she got an extra playdate after dinner! She was thrilled! Then after they left, we all met up again at Will's house for more fun! I didn't really care to take her to any homes around us or hand out candy because she gets scared so easily. I've worked so hard to safe-guard her from the scary aspects of Halloween and didn't want to ruin it by some punk kid showing up at our door with blood running down his forehead! And besides, she didn't know the difference! Here's a picture of Ainsley in her princess dress. She knows she's our little princess and LOVES to dress up all day long. She has so many dresses from a friend at church, as well as 4 pairs of high heels and a tub full of jewelry. So, it was very hard to convince her to wear the cute homemade Dorothy costume I found at a garage sale. I even had the sparkly red shoes, but she insisted on being a princess. (I even rented Wizard of Oz, but it didn't work! :) We painted her fingernails with "sparklies" that I let her pick out by herself from Wal-Mart and I put some red lipstick on her cheeks to make them rosy. And of course some chapstick that she thinks is lipstick. :)

I have a couple of other stories that are really funny, but I'm a little nervous to post them since I don't know who reads this blog. So, to follow suit of all my friends, I'm considering blocking the blog also. That way I can post what I want and not have to talk around things. Is it a good idea?
