Happy Halloween!!

What a fun day for kids.  Mason has anticipated this day for a few weeks.

This little witchy lady surprised us on our doorstep one night last week.

We got "booed" by a neighbor and she was in the basket we found after the doorbell rang.

I expect today will be filled with fun, dress-up, treats and hopefully NO tricks.

  

Meagan has volleyball practice and Mason stated "On Halloween night??  That is just wrong!"

Pumpkin Jack for Mason

After singing "Pumpkin Jack" at school this month, Mason was excited to carve a pumpkin for Halloween.  He recruited Dad to help him.

No, he doesn't have a black eye. 
Not sure what's going on there.

Michael said Mason almost got sick
when he pulled the seeds and pulp out of the
pumpkin and you can see he was wearing gloves.

Much happier that the dirty work is done.

Mason drew his face on with a marker.

Finished jack-o-latern.

Oh to Blog again

Hi little blog - I've missed you and have thought of things to write recently but no time to sit.
Today was flu shot day.  Yipee!  It was a crazy, fried-brain kinda day where nothing seemed to go just right.  I was at the gas station late this afternoon and saw a dump truck lose his brakes and go sailing through a red light with traffic crossing.  I had just come through that intersection and was thankful for the good timing and thankful that everyone was able to safely dodge the out-of-control dump truck.  It reminded me of how quickly life can change - it just takes a second.  It reminded me to stop and be thankful and look for a moment to slow down.  So here I am, pausing, and now I will go to sleep.  Good night.....sweet dreams.
