hey all,
after much halloween chaos and a long stinkin' head cold that is finally headed out I think, HAPPY NOVEMBER!!!
Halloween was a blast, the kiddos did a spectacular job, despite my placing them in very gender specific roles, (sorry sara) they had a fabulous time trick or treating. At every house Teags would shake her pom poms, and give a big old smile, and lil' man would say something so damn cute that we all walked around with perma-grin for the evening.
The progression of understanding was delightful to watch as well. At house #1, the door opened, and lil man without hesitation, walked inside...so, after some coaching, he figured out it was not necessary to go IN, to get the candy. He would tell the happy halloween folks, "I am a BUFFALO BILL, you can't wait to see my costume!" or "This is how we hold the ball...."
I taught on Halloween, as it was a Tues. and one of the staff members at my school deemed the belly in need of a pumpkin costume, and decorated me with some colored tape, which was adored by all that saw it, and pretty appropriate, as I was wearing the brightest flaming orange shirt that I could locate in my closet full of stuff that barely covers this fast expanding baby boy!
So overall, we had fun...trick or treated till the kiddos couldn't even entertain the idea of going any further, and spent the next day gorging ourselves on the kids candy...(Bry and I of course....) I am actually sugared out, if that is even possible....
hugs, and halloween smiles your way,
Al
p.s. the THANKSGIVING countdown is ON! I am just a flutter with dreams of cozy clothes and slippers, turkey, crabmeat ball with doritos(uh, I know sounds gross, but it is amazing,) spinach dip, cranberry sauce, and to top it all of good folks to enjoy it all with! HUGS ALL...
