how halloween was ruined in 1984 or happy heatherween!!!

picture this: halloween eve 1984, my dear, sweet mother is 13 months pregnant and just wants to have this baby. her ob/gyn schedules her to deliver on november 1st and needs to report to the hospital on october 31st, halloween night. my dear, sweet, somewhat saucy, grandma bonnie is called in to take myself and my two brothers trick or treating around the 'hood. after about 4 houses and 13 minutes of trick or treating, grandma bonnie calls it a night and takes us kids home. it was the world's shortest night of trick or treating. my tiny four-year-old heart is broken. the next morning my baby sister heather is born. needless to say, after the debacle from the night before, i was not excited about her birth. thank goodness that was the only halloween that she ruined. she has only improved with age. happy heatherween!!!

just a typical sunday around here, heather chillin' with her entourage.

things i like about heather:

H er sense of humor skillz

E xcessive burping ability

A ble to play the piano better than anybody else in the world, even me. and she has perfect pitch. and that is impressive.

T akes the Gospel seriously

H it a guy in the stomach with a closed fist in the church foyer because he was a big jerk.

E veryday she gets more and more beautiful

R uns likes the dickens. and she has a really funny video blog.

this was not a professionally decorated cake. just me! can you believe it! no joke! i call it shabby chic cake making. the worse it looks the more artsy it is.

i forgive your for ruining halloween 1984.

el presidente the sheriff and littlebigmouth as miss scarlett

the inspiration for scarlett's costume.

a short list of things you should not say to me about this costume or i will give you the stink eye:
1. "scarlett o'hara, was she a star wars character?"

2. "is your son ashley wilkes?"

3. "oh, a cowboy and a cowgirl!"

4. "i can't believe you made her wear that."
