Around the House

These images are all of the kids from around the house the last two days. I caught the first one after I had decided to let Kinsley indulge in a little Chocolate pudding. I went up stairs for a minute and when I came back down she had the bowl to her face licking it like a dog. It was simply priceless. Seriously I can't imagine entirely depriving my children of occasional sweets. The look of pure joy on her face was worth every bit of potentially negative consequences!

Yesterday Kinsley busted out the Tupperware and spoons to serve as drums. She even got out a drum set for Grant and me. So sitting there in the middle of the kitchen floor, still in our pjs at 11:00am, we played our own version of Jingle Bells, Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer, and a few primary songs for almost a half and hour. I tried taking a picture of her then but she refused. I guess she not yet ready to debut her musical genius to the outside world. I did manage to snap this shot of her at it again later in the evening. Once we were finished drumming Kinsley decided to make the Tupperware bowls into ice skates. Watching her glide across the hardwood floors, stumbling every few feet was pure delight. I did actually manage to sneak a photo of this in. And if you are very observant you might be wondering who the baby dressed in bright pink is in the background--admittedly it's Grant. I'm a little behind on laundry so Grant had to wear a pair of Kinsley's old jammies. There was just something so wrong about him running around in a pink pj's with the word SWEET stitched across his chest. He's gonna kill me once he's a teenager.

That night Kinsley got out her stickers and decided to put them on Grant. She said "look mom and dad at the decoration I'm doing on Grant." Afterward she placed them all over her face too.

Just another typical day at the Sorensen home.

Happy Halloween!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then here are a million reasons why our Halloween party rocked! We had so much fun seeing everyone, playing games, eating food, taking pictures, singing karaoke, chasing little monsters around (literally), and handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters.
Our house was transformed from a pleasant home into a spider-web sanctuary where only the brave (and the hungry) dared enter. From miniature pizzas that were shaped like bats, cats, and other scary silouhettes to cupcakes with bubble tape that looked like mummies, we were ready to feed the undead masses.
The costumes were fabulous...although we didn't get a photo of everyone's family, we do have a few to share. Creativity abounded in everyone's costumes, even for those who came as themselves- the Walker's as 'walkers' and the Faucet's as faucets. We dressed up as the Addam's Family. At first, Kinsley asked if she could be a princess, to which Andrea replied: "well, Wednesday Addams is 'kinda' like a princess." So instead of glitter and sparkles, it was flat black hair and white face makeup. In the end, Kinsley was so excited to be Wednesday, that she would ask Mommy every morning if it was Halloween yet and how many more days until she could wear her Wednesday outfit.
We had a great time, as you can see, and we just want to thank all the ghouls and goblins who helped make this party a success.
