7 Things

I have been tagged by my friend Angie to come up with 7 random things about myself that you may not know. I feel like I'm an open book, however, so this will be hard for me to think of anything "unknown".


Here it goes....

1. I used to play the piano and guitar fairly well. It's been so long, however, that I think I've completly forgotten how to play the guitar. My girls won't let me play the piano on my own, so I never get to practice that anymore. I'm going to take lessons for guitar someday and rock the house, yo!

2. If uninterrupted I could sleep for 12 hours straight any given night, and still wake up feeling like I needed more sleep, or like I've been run over by a truck, or that I'm being unnecessarily woken up. :) I would LOVE to wake up "refreshed"...just once in my life. I hear about it (from Travis especially b/c he always wakes up refreshed), but I have never experienced it. I don't know if it's due to allergies, hypoglycemia or what, but mornings totally suck for me. They are physically painful for me.

3. It's always been a secret dream of mine to be a movie star or a rock star.

4. I grew 1/2 an inch in college.

5. I was really skinny until I was 14, and then I became a bulimic and after I tried to "quit" being bulimic, I gained a lot of weight and was heavy (for me) from about 17 until I was 23. Then my metabolism finally evened out. To give you an idea...I'm 5' 51/2 " and usually weigh between 119 - 124. During the years 17 - 23 my weight fluctuated between 128 - 148!! It was craziness. Rachel H. knows all about this, though, so it's not unknown!

6. In elementary school, I was the fastest runner in my class.

7. I'm afraid of heights in a kind of insane way. If I believed in past lives, I think I must have been a bird b/c when I'm close to the edge of something extremely high (like the edge of the Grand Canyon), I have the strongest urge to run and jump off. Not b/c I want to die, but b/c my body feels like it can fly. This makes me incredibly scared of being high up b/c I don't feel like I can trust my body. I explained this once to my grandfather and he had the same exact feelings and fear that I have.....dum dum dum....

So here are the rules:*Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog. (yeah, I don't know how to do that)

Halloween Pictures

I'm finally getting these posted! Sydney was, of course...Scooby-Doo! And Addyson was her favorite animal....a "meow" as she calls cats. They were both so excited to dress up. They loved their makeup, but Addyson's ears kept falling off.

We started a tradition last year of going trick-or-treating with the Kudlas family. Sydney and Aidan have been friends since Sydney was just a year old.

L-R: Brenna, Sydney, Aidan, Addyson, and in front, Carsyn

My Mom wanted to make sure that Addyson knew what to do, so she practiced trick-or-treating with the kids a couple of times before we went out.

Addyson took full advantage of Daddy pushing her in the stroller. It's a good thing he brought it along, though, b/c not long after we left (2 minutes maybe) she was saying "home, night-night". She made it through the night just fine, though, and was so thrilled when people would just give her candy. She thought that was the greatest thing ever!

Here are a couple of "action" shots. :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween! It's just so much fun with little kids!
