Getting in the spirit

I took some pictures of Max in his cute Halloween onesie that GLOWS IN THE DARK. He seemed to like it.
A lot.

Even when this happened.
Um, maybe he's not ready to sit up by himself yet.

Halloween idea?

I'm trying to think of ways to costume Max for Halloween. I know pumpkins are popular for infants, but I want to do something else.

My brother sent this pic. Hmmm. Maybe Max should be Thor.

It could work.

Christmas in March

Christmas? Check. Kwanzaa? Check. New Year's Eve? Check.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Groundhog's Day, Chinese New Year, Presidents' Day, Flag Day, Valentine's Day? Check.

Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, St. Patrick's Day? Check.

Daylight Savings Time? Yep.

Good Friday.

I have photographic evidence for you. This is a CHRISTMAS wreath, right? This house represents all the others who still proudly display their holiday wreaths with their tired red bows.

I don't have photos of all the holiday offenders because people get annoyed when you slow traffic to take pics. Plus, it probably seems a bit creepy to people who don't know me. Heck, I felt a little odd taking them, but I knew you'd want to see.

These deer crack us up almost every time we pass them--which is daily. The one that's down must be dead. At first we thought it had passed out on New Year's Eve and never recovered. Since it's never been set rightside up again, maybe a hunter got it.

You can't really tell from the picture, but they're wearing holly and red bows.

Maybe it dropped dead from mortification.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone!

As I've mentioned before, some families around here don't have a clue about the holidays. Our friend Stephanie told me that NJ fines people for leaving holiday decorations up past January, so it must be a problem. I'm not just being obsessive. (Okay, maybe a little.) While taking Garrett to work this morning, we passed three houses that still displayed Christmas decorations. Yep.

It's St. Patrick's Day. That means dancing leprechauns, green beer, and festive pinches. Not holly and red bows. C'mon people!
