Hallows Eve!

The University of Utah "black out" game was tonight, Halloween! So James and I thought that we would go all out and be dead football players. I kept my Cruella hair do, and added some scars and blood to my face. James went crazy, with full out face makeup. Ben cried and cried when he saw him, and when we picked him up from the babysitter (yes, we finally took him to a babysitter and enjoyed a night without him... of course we missed him though!) he cried and cried again. Can you blame him?

I'm Seeing Spots!!!

I always intended to make Ben's costumes. Last year, with being in school still, it DIDN"T happen. This year I actually had some time for it. I didn't want to get too complicated and sew something completely from scratch. So I thought that a DIY dalmatian costume would be something I could handle. First I bought a white fleece sleeper with a hood (which was a great find). Then all I had to do was purchase black (for the spots and ears), yellow (for the collar), and pink (for the inner ears) felt, fabric glue, and red ribbon (for the collar). Then I simply cut out lots and lots of spots, glued them all on, fashioned the cute collar, wrote "Ben" on it, and wolla! I thought it turned out really cute! And I was Cruella Deville of course (my cape was a similar story)!

Happy Halloween

Love,

Bentley

For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth

for the glory of the skies,   

for the love which from our birth

over and around us lies; 

Lord of all, to thee we raise   

this our hymn of grateful praise!

Kisses!

Ben has been giving kisses for a while now, but lately improved vastly. He used to give really wet, open mouth kisses. A bit messy, and a must-wipe. Suddenly a few days ago, when we said, "Ben, give kisses," he puckered up his lips and gave a perfect, closed mouth, no drool kiss.

We can't get enough!!!!!!

Bedhead

My baldy baby finally almost has a full head of hair. He still is a little sparse on the sides, rocking the reverse bald man do. However with this hair, comes the task of having to tame it every morning and nap when he wakes up looking like this!

Skeletons and Playgrounds

Ben's ready for Halloween! Are you? Stay tuned for his DIY costume. It's so cute. And I'm even dressing up this year with him.
