What Your Halloween Habits Say About You

You're a friendly person, but not the life of the party. You like making someone else's day - and you'll dress up if you think of a really fun costume. You definitely think of yourself as someone who has a dark side. And part of having that dark side means not showing it. Your inner child is stubborn and a bit bossy. Your fears are irrational and varied. It's hard to predict what you may be afraid of on any given day. You're logical, rational, and not easily effected. Not a lot scares you... especially when it comes to the paranormal. You are a traditionalist with most aspects of your life. You like your Halloween costume to be basic, well made, and conventional enough to wear another year.

What's Your Halloween Personality?

What about Mia?

Here she is... Miss America.

Luke and I were having fun one day and this is what we came up with. Whatcha think? As you can tell she is sporting some mighty big teeth on top. FoUr to be exact. All came in at the same time which could explain the loss of consciousness I have experienced this last month or so. She is also getting quite fast at crawling and also scaling the couches and walls. Walking I'm afraid is not far off. Yikes! Her favorite meal right now is kitty food. Yep, she darts for the kitty's food any chance she can. She is turning into an expert at knowing just the right time to dart for that corner of the house. So duh? why don't I just move kitty's food? Well let's just say Kitty doesn't like it and lets us know quite regularly and just refuses to eat unless her food is RIGHT there where it should be. Yep she is a true Gibson after all, stuborn like Jonny.

Anyhoo this is my 11 month old Mia, as cute as can be, I am enjoying this little stinker more than ever!!

See a theme here?

As you read this post and then scroll down to the next you will find something that they both have in common. What is it?? Luke's clothes. He has started playing soccer a couple of weeks ago and a couple of weeks ago he stopped wearing normal clothes, just his soccer uniform minus the shin guards, socks, and cleats. He LoVeS soccer but more than that he LOVES his uni. So he doesn't take them off.

At the first game my normally shy, passive son did great. He got in there manhandled the ball and even scored 2 goals, yep that's what I said TWO goals. That brought a tear to his Coach/ Daddy's eyes real quick. He has been doing great and has really surprised me with his aggressiveness. I thought he would be the one on the outside of the pack watching for the ball to come loose, but nope I was wrong and I admit it. Luke is coming out of that shell. That's my boy!

As a side note, when Jonny/coach asked Luke to come up with a couple of names for his team so that all of the team members could vote on it he came up with Tigers or eye of the tiger. For any of you who know Jonny or Luke that isn't a big stretch and describes what Luke would love to listen to every minute of every hour of the day. Oh, Tigers won out.

Let's start here...

Okay so its been awhile since my last post. It is certainly not due to a lack of materials, just lack of motivation, sorry. I will admit that I have a big flaw, I know you are shocked but here goes, my big flaw is that when things get real busy/crazy my brain shuts down, can't function. Instead of just plowing through, I tend to bury my head in the sand and wait it out. Not the best coping method but it is mine and it is, by my own admission, flawed. So...not that you cared or really even wanted to know that- you might ask what was the point of that? Well here goes...it's because a lot has been going on, nothing serious I assure you and not much of which I will bore you with, but just enough to make my brain hide in the sand.

In an attempt to bring my head out of the sand here is a few of the best parts of this last month: Mckenna can't get enough bike riding in, only Mckenna being the first child that she is, has never really figured out how to entertain herself. She gets real bored riding up and down the sidewalk by herself or with Luke running after her so she has enlisted Dad to ride with her. But as you can see, not just Dad but Luke too. On the account that Luke's bike has no seat (don't ask me how that happened, I don't really have a clue, and he is just plain slow when it did have a seat) he gets/ wants to ride with Dad, so here is what we came up with. We realize that we aren't the best advocates for bike safety but hey they all have fun, and we didn't wear helmets and junk when we did this growing up and we are just fine! (subjective I know)
