Halloween Picture Overload. Ready? Go:

Jason put a lot of effort and time into these costumes. I love it when we find something we can all get into together. I made Addie's jumpsuit, Andres' Slimer costume, and the hat and finishing touches for the Stay Puft costume (the dress is an actual maternity dress worn by my mother-in-law and was too perfect to change). Jason made the very important accesories for his and Addie's costumes. While it may sound like Jason did less, take a look at the pictures below and check out what Jason made. I'm very impressed and think he did an awesome job.

Addie's was based on the proton pack toy that they made back in the day. Do you remember those? Anyway, it looks pretty good for being made mostly out of our recycling and duct tape.

Jason's gun and pack was the one they used for the slime in the second movie (you know, where they sprayed the Statue of Liberty and it comes to life?) and while we couldn't find exactly the right size of containers for the pack, the gun looks pretty close.

And just so that we were all-out Ghostbusters, Jason couldn't resist:

Pumpkin Time!

At the Gonzalez house, we love our pumpkins! Not just at Halloween time, but all year long. So when we finally get to carve them, it's the greatest! Here are some photos from our extravaganza this year:

I love this picture because Andres and I are so enthusiastic about our 'cheese' faces and Addie is much too involved in cleaning out the pumpkin to say cheese.

Jason very intent in his carving.

Making pumpkin soup:

Our finished products: Jason made the Ghostbusters symbol, Addie and I carved a scary face and then tried to make it a cat by carving ears (it only sort-of worked), and Andres and Addie colored a face on the little one.

Please ignore the large pregnant lady in the background - this is about the kids!

October Fun

October has gone by really quickly. Nothing too exciting has happened, just normal everyday busy. We did celebrate my birthday last week and it was wonderful. The best part was that it was on Sunday, so Jason was home and didn't have to study or work on anything. He and Addie made me breakfast in bed and they also made this scrumptious cake:

I got some much needed maternity clothes and Michael Jackson:The Experience for the Wii. We've tried it a couple times already and it is so much fun! Of course, Jason has figured out how to get a higher score than me while sitting down and just moving the remote the right way. But Addie and I love to dance and have a lot of fun with it.

The rest of the pictures are just some random ones of our recent fun.

Andres for some reason wanted to wear these pants of Jason's. Jason, of course, thought it was a much better idea to get both kids in there.

Addie let me straighten her hair on Sunday for church and wanted to take a picture of just us beautiful girls.

And below is a picture of Andres after church. I'm not sure how he lost his shirt but kept the tie, but he looks pretty cute.
