Halloween: Best Jack-o-Lanterns Ever!

We LOVE Halloween around here. We're carving our pumpkins tonight and I was looking up some inspiration. These are the coolest Jack-o-Lanterns I found online. Really impressive stuff and cool ideas! And those last two are something I've never seen before, but is really amazing because of the varying colors: Watermelon Carving! Unfortunately I couldn't find the artist's names on any of these, but they deserve exposure! If anyone knows, please let me know! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Zombie Ray Play Kickball!!

Here in Portland Maine, they have an annual Zombie Kickball game where everyone dresses up like Zombies and... play Kickball!! Just a reason to dress up, be silly, and get in the Halloween spirit! This was my first time and it was so much fun!

Makeup by my wife Renae De Liz - she's incredible at anything she tries! Both me and my son were done in an hour and it was her first time ever trying!
Our son, Tycen (7) even got into the action:
Our baby boy, Drake, was just a light snack between innings. :o)





See my photo stream of the day here: http://plixi.com/raydillon Click the arrow to the left to continue in order. Some really flattering pics of me in there. :o)

How-to Calm Your Baby & Stop the Crying!

Oh, my gosh!! I'm so excited!! Anyone who follows my Twitter knows that my wife and I just had a baby and we haven't slept since. We've been having a really a hard time calming our baby and getting him to sleep. We've tried books, online videos, advice from all over, and nothing quite worked. Some worked a little, some worked once and never again. THIS worked instantly and is continuing to work. Please, if you have a newborn, get this DVD! Have a stress-free time with your new baby! I know WE wanted and needed that. I'm sure you do, too!

VIDEO: Really Short LEGO STAR WARS Stop-Motion Animation w/ my Son!

I was attempting to teach my son, Tycen (7), how to make stop-motion animation with his toys. Super short and silly, but I think he got the idea and we had a lot of fun! Made in, like, 10 minutes, so...

Made with my Blerkberry Dumbphone, FrameByFrame, and iMovie.

We don't own Lego or Star Wars ... you probably needed to know that.

We do, however, own AWESOME!
