aborigines and nintendo....just more days in the life of us....

Ok let's face it, the blogger in me is not as rambunctious as she used to be. i really want to get back in the habit of writing once a week because too much good stuff happens in my life to not type it down. so let's get started with the catch up....

we threw a little halloween shin dig at our good friends the iverson's lovely home...and i had a swell time. there were lots of fun costumes, good chatting, yummy food, and some rowdy games. matt and i decided to get in touch with our native sides and go as aborigines....here are the results:

matter in a loin cloth....what a treeeeeat!

The Petersons

Angela and Dwight

Hula chic and Rednecker

THE Hobbit

Grinch and Miss Who

Giraffe Keepers

Yup Yups

The Hunter and the Hunted

lame-oes....uh...i mean our friends ;)

MUFASA.....oooo [shudder]...say it again...mufasa, mufasa, mufasa!

so matt brought his nintendo home from his parents house last week and i have lost both of my little boys to that thing! i like playing every once in awhile for 20 minutes or so...but these two are die-hards and will play almost everyday, some days for hours! i think merv wishes he had thumbs more than ever before, but he is still quite entertained by watching matt play super mario, paperboy, zelda, and duck hunt...see for yourselves:

matter is still chuggin' along with school with tests and project every week, but he is keeping up really well! i have decided to switch gears and go back to school for graphic design. i am still looking at all my options, but i hope to be registered and ready to get back for the spring semester. as far as work goes...matthew has been working hard on the sister gibson job. he is remodeling a good little chunk of her house. i joke that it's more like playing for him because he has friends working with him on the job: kevie is doing to railing, paul with painting, and hobbit is doing drywall. no wonder he enjoys going to work! but i am glad he loves what he does and i am double glad that i married a man of many talents. i am still working at ensign systems as a little techie, however i am hoping to pick up a second job [just for the holiday season] so i can earn a little extra dough for a new camera! i have an interview tomorrow so we will see how it goes.

when he is not playing nintendo with matter, mervie enjoys ripping apart any accessory of mine that has feathers. i have some peacock feathers that i used in some pictures that he goes nutso for! mental note for ash: get mervie some new toys with feathers. merv has also got into the cozy little habit of sleeping on our bed....morning, noon, and night.....it's his new favorite spot. another funny thing about merv lately...he has been biting matt's ears in middle of the night. correct me if i'm wrong, but don't certain animals do that to show they are the alpha male??? ha! merv peterson - man of the house.

random fact: one of my new favorite bands as of late is called [the band perry] they would be classified as country i guess so if that's not your thing you can just tune out, but they have a different style that i quite enjoy. my preferred songs are if i die young and hip to my heart.

well that's all for now my cheery little mates, stay tuned for more adventures of matt....ash....and merv.
