Quick Halloween Update
Well, we came through Friday night with no eggs and no t.p. in the trees due to our non-chocolate candy assortment. We had a great turnout on trick or treaters this year compared to last year. A few observations:
* Some of these kids need bigger buckets. Those tiny plastic pumpkins are full after just a few houses. Maybe I give more candy than other houses?
* I was impressed that almost every single T-or-Ter said thank you before leaving our doorstep. All in the world is not bad.
* Enid was the hit of the night. Almost all of the kids made some sort of comment on how much they liked our cat or how cute she is. Like my little Enner-Beener needs any more attention or praise than she already gets. Puh-lease. Can we say spoiled?
* Homemade costumes are still the best. And thus, still receive more candy.
* My favorite thing is when the 4 and under crowd comes to the door, rings the bell, and then they don't quite understand that they have to scoot back for me to open the screen door. It takes a little coaching from me or their parents to show them how the pros do it.
* My second favorite thing is when it's Nathan's shift to answer the door and I get to listen to the comments he makes on their costumes. We're talking about the person who was scared that "one of them" would talk to him while we checked out day cares. I can't wait to see how he is with our little one.
* Best costume of the night: The cutest 18 month-old Frankenstein. Homemade costume of course. You can see pics here. I may or may not be a little bias.
* Worst costume of the night: The 14 year old girl from down the street dressed in a trench coat that after I gave her candy, asked me if I wanted to "see her goods." Then she flashed me!! Granted she had pajamas underneath. But, Are you kidding me?! THAT is NOT lady-like behavior. Where are her parents? Give me my Smarties and Twizzlers back!

Yeah, We're THAT house.
Ya know the one. That one house on the block that hands out the sucky non-chocolate candy? Yeah, that's us this year.
First let me say, when in the heck did a cube of sugar become so darn expensive? $4.98 for the smallest bag of Toostie Rolls I've ever seen is ridiculous. But this is not why we'll probably be cleaning egg off the front porch and toilet paper out of trees and bushes tomorrow morning. No, the kids in our neighborhood are going to hate us purely for my own sanity on the scale the next week or so.
This year, I'm following the Weight Watcher trick or treat plan. I bought all sorts of candy that I don't particularly care for (read as, the sucky candy). It's amazing how fast you can run out of those wonderful mini Snickers and Mr. Goodbars when you grab one every.single.time. you answer the front door on Halloween night. It's also amazing how you're reminded of it every.single.time. you step on the scale. Nope, not this year. This year - sucky candy it is.
So, if anyone particularly loves sucky candy, c'mon over. We have gobs of it. You can take your pick of three items (my usual handful for the kiddos). Four if I think you worked hard on your costume. We have Dum Dums, Now n Later packs, Twizzlers (ick!) and Smarties (upon Nathan's request). If we REALLY like you or you're name rhymes with "Man", we may or may not have a stash of hidden Kit Kats. I'm just sayin'...
Happy Halloween Everyone!! It's exciting to know that next year we'll have a little goblin of our own. And you better have chocolate to fill her bucket with!

Diaper Dilemma
Okay, you moms out there. Obviously, we need help.
Actual conversation at Babies R Us:
Nathan: Hey, look. They have big boxes of diapers. Maybe we should get some.
Me: Hmm... Yeah, maybe we should.
Nathan: What kind should we get?
Me: Hmm... I'm not sure.
Nathan: We have a coupon, right?
Me: Yeah, it's for like $5 off a mega box or something like that.
Nathan: What's a Mega Box? Do we need that?
Me: Hmm... I'm not sure.
Nathan: These boxes are $29.99. Is that a good deal?
Me: Hmm... I'm not sure.
Nathan: These are size four. Should we get these?
Me: Uh... I don't think so.
Nathan: What size should we get? Is this a good deal?
Me: How should I freakin' know?!! Can we go look at the $267 lamp I want?
Can you register for a Nanny at BRU? Does she come with that free umbrella stroller if you order her online?

Sunday Discover
I discovered Sunday morning that my little peanut REALLY gets excited during mass. She really likes the hymns and is a super-fan of our priest's voice in the microphone. I like to think that Nathan and I are already building a good spiritual foundation for her. It may or may not have anything to do with the cinnamon roll I downed right before leaving our house.
Dang it! Now, I want a cinnamon roll! Okay. Okay. Three cinnamon rolls.

Kansas City Trip - Day 2 or The Main Event
So, I've heard of a lot of couples that go on a "Babymoon" before the arrival of their little one. While this really wasn't the case, it was fun knowing that this would be the last out of town trip that Nathan and I would take with friends before either not having someone to strap in a car seat or having to drop off at The Nana's before leaving town.
If you're not aware, Nathan and I are pretty big Tennessee Titans fans. So, when Nathan scored some really good tickets for mad cheap, we had to jump on the opportunity to see them live. It doesn't hurt that we also got to see them with a 5 and 0 record thus far.

Apparently, I only had my camera for the second day of our trip. So, for day 1 events, you'll have to check out Brooke's blog. I don't know which day was more fun. Hitting the hot spots of KC on Day 1 or getting to see my boys up close and personal on Day 2. No, I'm lying. We won! Day 2 was definitely the best.
Pro #1 of being pregnant: Bartenders make you non-alcoholic drinks bigger than your head and sweeter than a pixie stick for only $2.
Brooke and I were born for life in a trendy hotel.
Game Day Baby!! Pimpin' our Titans gear.

Sidenote: Seriously, could Nathan get any luckier?! His wife is dressed in fan gear about to head to an NFL game AND she's watching ESPN at 9am. I deserve a shopping spree. Or a donut. MMM...donut....
The Adcox Couple. One Chiefs fan. One OU Gangsta.
Are you ready for this? Dun. Dun. Dun....
Sidenote: Arrowhead stadium was really nice. I swear the bathroom right after halftime is cleaner than any Target bathroom in OKC.
Jeff Fisher. My hero.
Boy versus girl. Winner versus loser. (Sorry, Derek. Thanks for being a good sport.)
Nathan's only attempt at using the camera all weekend.
