hangover


This scene from this morning about sums up our weekend . . .

Everyone has been moving slowly this morning after late nights and the crash after a sugar high. 

When I went to take a shower, she was asleep. I came out to find that she had woken up, crawled over, snuggled up next to the dog, and then went back to sleep. Moments like this make all the extra work of having a dog almost worth it. 

Before the Halloween party/Trunk or Treat on base 

I never ever thought he looked like Harry Potter until he put on the cloak and glasses and he transformed. His teacher saw him on base and didn’t recognize him until he said, “Hey! It’s me, Caleb!”

The costume thing is totally freaking her out (especially our friend dressed as a lion with fangs — see the photo above). 

So many people decorated their cars, dressed up, and handed out candy. Too much candy . . . multiplied by four kids . . . ooh, I think I might still have some Reese’s in the freezer.

Calvin wanted to be a member of the Donner Party and walk around gnawing on a big turkey leg. I thought that was gross and he didn’t like any of my ideas so he went costume-free. 

She was having a great time until she realized we were at another party where everyone had on scary masks. Only one more event next week and then the scary stuff should be over. At least until Santa makes an appearance!
