Happy Halloween!

All Saints Day Party

This is the first year that we have gone to the homeschooling groups All Saints Day party.  The boys had so much fun.  Thankfully, Joseph & Henry's Halloween costumes were easily turned into saints.  Henry is going as a knight warrior, who became St. Henry and Joseph as a  knight who was St. George 

Oliver's costume on the other hand just wouldn't work, he is going to be a puppy for Halloween and unfortunately there aren't any canonized dogs!  I made his 10 minutes before we left out of a pillowcase and he was St. Dominic.  

St. Henry

St. George (bad picture, it's the only one I was able to take!)

 St. Dominic

I have to try this!

This looks like so much fun.  Apparently dipping leaves in beeswax makes the most perfect fall decorations.  Look at these leaves!  

Cub Scouts

Joseph is in Cub Scouts this year and so far I think he likes it.  I did promise him lots of camping though and it doesn't seem like they are going to be doing much of that :-(  

He takes it very seriously...saluting and everything!

I can relate

This is a post that I can relate to.  I hope someday that I will experience the "bundle of pink,"  but I'm not holding my breath.  
By the way, I love tights, but little girl peacoats are what get me everytime.

Update

After looking into a lot of them,I've decided on this one

The BabyHawk Mei Tai Carrier

I get to design it myself too which makes the process more fun!  Thanks for the advice everyone!

Going to take the plunge....

Okay Mommies, I need some help....again!  I am finally going to take the plunge and get a baby sling/carrier/wrap for this baby.  I have no idea which one is the best, I have heard so many differing views.  Here are some I've looked at:

The Moby Wrap, looks interesting but also looks like a heck of a lot of material and like it would be hot in the summer.....thoughts?

The Ergo baby carrier,  I've heard great things about this, but looks like it is more for being out and about and not just at home.

The Maya wrap, looks a little too "hippy momma" for me....does anyone have one?

Basic, baby sling, by Slinglings.  

So, does anyone have any advice?  I plan on using this until the baby is too heavy to carry around, mostly for a young infant to about 9 or 10 months.  I don't really see myself lugging around an 18 month old in a carrier/sling.

Thanks for any advice!!
