I absolutely LOVE Halloween! I LOOOOVE dressing up and I loooooove that it's the first "holiday" in the fall. Oh, and I love the candy too, eh? :o)
I was trying to think of a perfect costume this year that would really accent the tummy and I was totally stumped. It took up until the night before for me to find something that would work, and I was super lucky that I just happened to have a fabulous friend lend me the perfect costume. Well, what do you think? Did this costume accent my tummy or what? :o)
It got some great laughs at the office. Funny thing was when we took a shot right on, you really can't see the "bump." Interesting how that is. Even though I'm feeling huge, I can't believe that straight on shots only see me as a little wider. Well, I hope all of you had a fabulous Halloween too!
P.S. There are no pictures of both me and Jack in costume because I didn't have enough reason to force Jack to dress up this year. ;o) We had no ward party...well, any Halloween party at that really...to attend, so I just ended up dressing up for work and Jack was a BYU student for the day...like usual. :o) Kind of sad that I didn't get more use out of this costume...
A big kudos out to my wonderful family on BOTH sides for throwing me a superb baby shower. Jen did such a beautiful job with the decorations and everyone's food was fabulous, fabulous! Thank you so much for the wonderful gifts and thank you so much for being there. I can't wait to "share" all these gifts with little Baby Madsen when he comes.
I've been super antsy lately to put up all our Christmas decorations. I've heard it has a little to do with the fact that I'm super "nesting" right now. I don't know, but either way, I just can't wait for my little apartment to be full of the festive cheer of Christmas. I'm literally ready to buy like an entire store full of Christmas things...but then I look at my tiny living space and reality clicks in that there just wouldn't be any room to even put up all the stuff. We just have a little container full of things to put up...and sadder still, we only have a little 3.5 foot tree too. The good thing about the tree though is that we completely fill it up with mine and Jack's ornaments from our childhood. :o) Jack is really being firm on us not having anything Christmas-y up though until after Thanksgiving. I just don't know if I'll be able to wait that long! :o( I know it's still only a week away, but I'm ready to decorate NOW! Doesn't he know that Canadian Thanksgiving is already over? ;o)
