OUR WEEKEND!

Friday – Pumpkins everywhere you look!

Including our VERY OWN, Lil’ Pumpkin!

(Thanks for the shirt, Annie – it is darling!)

Millie’s fine pre-school art work.

Jan had been out of town all week, Millie was sick and missed her school trip to pick a pumpkin from the patch. SO, I told her that she and I would get a few from our local floral shop and when Dad got home we’d carve ’em.

A mom who keeps her promise (sometimes) definitely kept it on Friday evening.

Meanwhile, the thing I was most looking forward to? OUR TREAT! I’d been craving doughnuts for days. WHY? I do not know. I just needed one. So, after getting our pumpkins from the local nursery, we stopped by our local Dunkin’ Donuts and got one for each of us.

They tasted marvelous and then once they hit our tums – ARHG! – you let enough time pass between doughnut ingestions and you forget just how hard they are on your system.

Moving on to…

Saturday

Here comes the Ghostie Family! Millie and Jan made our family in “ghostie” form.

Millie wanted her ghosts on the door so that she could be just like Jack and Drew (who also have ghosts hung on their front door)

And Clara did her bit by looking cute. (This may end up being her costume – Millie’s hand-me-down pajamas – cuz that is the kind of Halloween mom I am – aka LAME).

Monday

First fire in our fire place…

Looks terribly romantic, don’t it? WELL, it so happened that I didn’t open the flue. This meant lots of smoke, stress, and stink. But if you want to pretend like I never told you what really happened you can just imagine that it was

P E R F E C T I O N !

And the rest is our secret.
