Movie Monday

Melanie & I got to talking the other day about our dear little brother Jon and how we'd tortured him while growing up. Never really maliciously, but he did go through plenty of teasing and taunting... like the time we dressed him up in drag so we could practice our hair and make-up skills.

Lincoln will never have to suffer from older sisters, but he does have a cousin that worked her magic the other day. Imagine my surprise when I found him chewing on a naked barbie while wearing Cada's crown jewels.

Presenting our quote this week is our little Lincoln. Enjoy!

Houston, we have standing!

Lincoln is getting so big! When I came home from mutual last Tuesday and opened the front door, he was just standing in the middle of the room as casual as can be, with his daddy nowhere in sight. Apparently Nate & Lincoln had been practicing the trick for 20 minutes before I came home and Nate dashed around the corner when he heard the door open.

Here he is, in all his standing glory, little Lincoln!

Movie Monday

Congrats to Heather for winning last week! Your picture will now hang in our hall of fame for the remainder of the week. We stole a still screen shot from the actual movie for this next quote... hey, does that guy look familiar?

P.S. Just so you know, your comments will be hidden until the winner is announced. We are still getting your guesses, but we want to give each of you the chance to test your movie IQ before the answer is revealed.

Good Luck!

Movie Monday

The movie quote of the week is provided by our own creepy-crawly Lincoln, who was dressed up for a Halloween party when he uttered this phrase:

Congratulations to our winner last week. The correct answer was "Thumb Wars" and if you haven't seen it, you need to check it out for a big laugh. The grand prize includes bragging rights, an all expenses paid virtual trip to Guam, and a spot on our hall of fame for the week in question.

Good Luck!

Halloween

Halloween was so much fun! I took Lincoln to my old school for the annual costume parade (with Liz & the boys) and then we helped out in one of the 4th grade classes. LJ was quite the little celebrity! That night we went to a local trunk or treat with Nate's parents and had some fantastic homemade root beer and hot dogs.

We found a cute little bear costume for Lincoln and so we themed our costumes around him. We were going to be the 3 bears, but I couldn't find my glue gun that day and so I had to fashion our costumes with just a stapler and a utility knife (just call me McGruber!). I ended up being Goldilocks and Nate went as a bowl of porridge. Overall our costumes turned out pretty good. I think the total investment was $15.00 for Lincoln and $0.50 for Nate & I. Yep. Sounds about right.
