I feel like I haven't had anything "blog worthy" going on in our lives. So, I've been focusing my fun blogging on our other blog. But I found some great additions to my "Why Didn't They Tell Me" showcase. Behold:
Halloween--I have no idea what year. This looks like a pretty typical Halloween morning, right? We're all geared up to head to school in our awesome costumes. Everybody looks pretty cool. We've got a zombie, {skip me}, a freaky dead person, a clown and karate kid. Here's what I need to point out...this is obviously Halloween on a BUDGET. I seem to have some sort of unhealthy obsession with sweaters! If you have been enjoying all of the past "Why Didn't They Tell Me" entries you have noticed this trend. I'm not sure how this translates into a punk rocker. I've got orange hair which is acceptable for such a costume and then somehow a massive black headband the size of a tube top has been added for additional adornment. It's the sweater that gets me. A sweater? The last time I checked punk rockers weren't up on stage sweating bucket loads because of their sweaters. I was a mockery of a very cool genre of people. *Hanging my head in shame*
Up next:
Before analyzing this picture I need to completely excuse my brother from this picture. He might hang me when he sees this, but if everyone pinky swears to understand that he had nothing to do with the outcome of this picture--we can proceed. Seriously, I FORCED him to do this. I remember. This was one of those long, boring summer days where we felt like going ballistic. Instead we channeled our energy into something productive. Slippin' Slides. I had this great idea that we should wear garbage bags to increase the speed. I am a genius. It worked amazingly. My mom was pretty amused and wanted to snag a picture. I of course being the genius that I was, tore my garbage bag off for the picture and I didn't mention the idea to my brother Scott because I am evil. And seriously--I don't need a garbage bag to look ridiculous in this picture, do I? I look bad enough as it is...

And what's with the clown with the green face? I can't wait to let Cole choose his own costumes.
and I love that you said that wearing garbage bags on the slip 'n slide is a "productive" thing to do. the real question is.. have you ever worn garbage bags for a slip 'n slide ON A TRAMPOLINE as an adult? when you decide to do so, we will chat.
seeing this makes me want to hang out with you. is that weird? :)
