i haven't been tagged.

around the time ambrose was about this age everyone used to "tag" everyone on their blogs and we would have to read like forty facts about someone's husband or tell seven things about ourselves and then make seven of our friends feel guilted into doing it too....

remember that?

thank heavens that trend died.

i liked the "bag tag" and the "take a picture of your bathroom and inside of your fridge one"- those were always amusing... but who knows, everyone probably went and got their cutest purse and put the cutest items in it before they arranged their cute picture and made a cute blog out of it. i never did it because i assumed if people wanted to see what spare diapers, animal cracker crumbs, tampons, raisins, melted chapstick, and a wallet stuffed with receipts looked like they would take a gander into their own purse BEFORE they organized it for their bag tag.

i don't know what made me think of this.

anyway, guess what the boys are going to be for halloween?

here's ambrose in years past:


and this year we are thinking: we just found the perfect box for it.
and how about little little? it's his first halloween! i figured i better take advantage of him not being able to have any say in his costume while i can so, if i can figure out how to make it, he's going to be:
now to create a pattern for a little black baby vest and that ultra masculine bow tie.

and where does one find lederhosen inspired embroidered ribbon in hawaii?


i may not be back for a while......
