Happy Friday + Randomness

October 31, 2014

2014-halloween-pumpkin

Happy Friday! I’m dragging my feet on the girl-transforming-into-werewolf costume for K and my pleas for her to wear the ninja costume tonight are falling on deaf ears. I obviously need to re-evaluate who’s the boss here.

*************************

A random comment on the age-old game of tag by K:

I’m not that into being “it” these days. I’m totally over it.

*************************

Alright, I better see if I can muster the energy to focus on assembling faux fur…Have a great weekend, friends!

Happy Halloween!
Will you trick or treat tonite?
Chocolate’s my fave

    another vote for chocolate here:)

    And you already rock as costume-maker extraordinaire! Feel free to share with K that there are WAY worse moms living in parts of the world (Michigan) that make their children go through the dress up box the night before:)

      Aw, thanks Lucinda! I pulled it off at the very last second but you’ll see that it didn’t quite turn out the way I thought it would be…;-)

    Being it really isn’t that great I’m hiding from trick or treaters and my kids went to bed at 7. The 5 and under crowd gets up too early to party after dark
