All Hallow's Eve..

I have been waiting almost a year to post this image and have it suitable for the season! My mother took this picture of Z last Halloween. I made the costume for him and it came out so excellent! Very goth, and dark. The face of the hood is a dark black mesh, so he can see out, but you just barely see his face. The flash reflected of the sliding door behind him. It makes it looks like he is generating this magic core of light. I think it is so fun. ( the image is completely unedited.. and for me that's unusual)

Happy Halloween!

(He is wearing the same costume this year, and unlike last year where the bottom of the cloak touched the floor, it is now about 3 inches above his shoes! They do grow up don't they?)

Not very scary, but very fun! To see more 'scary' things go to Mama Say Om.

Mama Says Om: Taste

It's has been too long since I last submitted to Mama Says Om. I actually miss it!

Taste.. well yesterday the taste in my mouth changed. I found out that I am pregnant. It's still very early, but, good grief! When I told my husband I cried. Not tears of joy, (well maybe one or two) but tears of frustration, anxiety, exhaustion, and fear. We have a 15 month old who won't sleep through the night. Just in the last few weeks we have let her sleep with us due to the extreme exhaustion we were all suffering. I am starting to build a business for myself (or would like to think so) and My last few pregnancies have not been 'easy' to say the least. Sick. Oh, God. I get so sick. It's all worth it in the end. A beautiful baby. Sleepless nights. ooohh.. Its gonna take awhile to get used to. Perhaps that is why Mother Nature gives us 40 weeks to process the idea. For now it leaves a taste in my mouth. I have to go hunt for one of those little banners for your blog now..
