Happy Halloween


Cammo man, Cleopatra, & Ballerina


This is the way to do it - get some sucker to push you all the way!


LB and her lovely teacher, Ms Kay


Ballerina & Cleo

If I do say so myself, I really deserve it - MOTHER OF THE YEAR!
Actually, 'Mother/Father-fill-in of the Year!'
I worked at L.B.'s school yesterday - having fun w/ the pre-schoolers! No, really, I'm serious, it is a lot of fun - she has a good class.
Then to the store - it had been a few days.
Home to box up and ship 'stuff' for my burgeoning photobucket 'business!' :)
Pick up kids, clean, laundry, errands.
NAP - yes, you read correctly.
6 p.m. - the festivities begin: costume prep., dinner, packing up the stroller, heading out into the unknown!
I push the double jogger while Cleo & Ballerina have the time of their lives running up to every neighborhood home. Mind you - there are LOTS of hills in our area and each home has an average of about 30 steps leading to the front door.
It is now getting chilly - an added step to the process - get the girls back in the stroller and covering up w/ 2 blankies!
Proceed on our 4-mile hike through our village - more candy, more sweat, more sweets, more cold.
YES, finally, they're sick of it! HOORAY!
Let's walk 2 miles home!
Let's give out candy to the stragglers :)
It is a free-for-all w/ the candy upon return. I'm sure the kids think I've lost my mind as I let them consume 27 lbs. of candy - anything they want - eat it - go for it! "Are you sure?" they ask!?
I'm saving the best for last here - I'm sick. Quite sickly. Terrible sinus headache, sore throat, fever, runny nose, aches, pains - you get it.
I drop into bed last night at 11 p.m. or so.
Ready for more fun today:) (Not feeling much better.)
Happy Halloween!
