... my world in pictures ...

...well, sorta. I couldn't JUST post pictures because, you know, I write... and I'm wordy... so weed through the text and look at pictures if you want to. :)

I wanted to post some Halloween pictures. Our theme this year was "Into the Future" so everyone dressed up as whatever they wanted to be when they grow up. Sophia was a veternarian and Ethan was Spider-Man. (Hey, it's a long way from the pumpkin he originally wanted to be!)

Here they are:

And one at a time:

Ethan spent two whole days in this costume. If it wasn't in the laundry at our old house, he'd have it on right now. This was so funny to me. He got all dressed in it himself, so this was the scene the day before Halloween at breakfast time:

Yesterday, we finally moved some of the bigger furniture to our new house. We have a showing tonight, we found out after the couch and kitchen table were already out of the house, but people are just going to have to get imaginative. I really needed a place to sit down. This belly doesn't do well on the floor.

Speaking of my belly... I don't really have anyone here to photograph my belly, so I decided I would try and do it myself. I can't find my tripod anywhere (it's in the garage SOMEwhere) so I just started playing. I know these are not great pictures, but they ARE documentation of a nine month belly, so I'm glad I've got these...

The best part was in the middle of it all... Ethan walked in. Instead of asking me what in the world I was doing, he just did this:

Totally made me laugh. He smooshed his face on mine. I love this kid.

After that, he just REALLY wanted to take pictures. Normally, I probably wouldn't let Ethan have control of my camera, but for whatever reason, I was feeling generous. So, he took a few of me that I may share later on, but I need to look at them again and make sure they're not TOO embarrassing! My belly is REALLY, REALLY BIG! (And I know this for sure because everyone keeps telling me so.)

So, as of yesterday, I have two weeks left in a pregnant body. I can't believe it's gone that quickly, but I'm glad it's almost here. It's different than it has been before, I think because I know we're going to have this whole other person in our lives now... THAT is what excites me. I can't wait to meet him. And finally figure out a name for the little bugger. :)

Sunday afternoon, Adam and I had a date day. Date nights, we've discovered don't work so well when you've got two people who have taken to falling asleep at around 9:30. We went and saw Dan in Real Life and ate yummy stuff at the Olive Garden.

The movie was really SO GOOD. I loved it. I now have a movie crush on Steve Carell. I know it's a little bit predictable, but it was VERY entertaining. Definitely made me laugh. And I didn't even have to get up to go to the bathroom once! (YES!) Highly recommend it, though... it was awesome!

Today is a full day, so I best get on with it, but I hope you're having a great week!

Kids looked adorable for Halloween! My son was Spidey two years ago and wore his costume all the time,too. Reading about Ethan brought back some fond memories. Thanks for sharing little things (cause they mean alot).
Hope the house-showing goes well... and woohoo for you -- two weeks left??? Best Wishes

You are too cute pregnant, Courtney! I don't think that you look too big for 9 months either. Can't wait to see the little one soon. :-)

Your pictures are wonderful! My little Ian is a huge Spidey fan too! He lives in his costume when he gets home from school. I swear, if we'd let him, he'd waer it to school too!

Enjoy your last few weeks of pregnancy. You look amazing!
