Things You Should Be Able To Do In the Dark

Step around all toys left out (in their most recent arrangement) to lay down a sleeping child
Kiss your husband on the lips on the first try
Pass through entire house with arms partially outstretched to avoid all furniture
Pick a butter-bean (that's a lima bean to all you up north) by feel alone
Find a flashlight with a fresh battery on a stormy night
Drink a strong, hot coffee early without splashing
Use all chemical products with eyes tightly closed to avoid suffering the box’s warning of permanent blindness
Change a diaper
Be able to listen so intensely that even while asleep you are processing all the things that go bump in the night
Play hide and seek behind a tree
Become entranced by a star
Find a match to light the candle to kiss your husband by~ you missed the first time ;o)

Here's some much overdue pics of my little ones on Halloween. We've not been feeling well, so it's taken me a while to get these up... sorry.

What an adorable little monkey!

I'm a pro at moving through the darkness of the house when I hear one of the boys cry out...However, the other night, Matt shut the bedroom door unbeknownst to me. I think you can figure out the rest.

BTW, your kiddos are just too cute in their costumes.

Thanks for the compliments! Actually, I must humbly ;o) admit these costumes came from my sewing room. I was quite proud of my accomplishment!

The kiddos (and the wellsewn costumes!) are adorable!

Wow. You impress me. The costumes look great.

I've got one to add to your list:
Find a husband. ;-)

Blessings!
