Halloween 2013

This year the Girl and the Boy went as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.  I made the girl's skirt and cape and pieced together the boy's costume from Amazon.  I thought it would be cheaper to do it that way.  I was wrong.

We had two parties, a trunk-or-treat, and Halloween night to attend.  (Why can't Halloween just be one day a year like it was when I was a kid?)

Charlie's Angels

This year we were invited to a "Big Kid" Halloween party.  Since The Man had to work that night, I called a friend who was also invited and whose husband was out of town.  She grabbed her friend whose husband was gone as well (and who happened to be Asian) and we went as Charlie's Angels.

My bullet belt was awesome if I do say so myself. It was a fun night with live music, food, and piñatas of all things.  Can't wait to do it again next year!

Bangs

The Girl and I now have the same hair cut since she decided last night to cut herself some bangs.

I avoided bangs and a mullet on her by pinning her hair back in a bow and keeping it in a short bob for two years while the top grew out to match the rest of her hair. It was beautiful. I was just recently able to put it in a pony tail, braid it, etc... Then I was dumb enough to take a phone call while giving her a trim - leaving the scissors within her grasp.

Breast Cancer Walk

The Man's group sponsors a team for the Annual Breast Cancer walk in town.  This year we decided to go as a family. 

 The Girl got to ride the whole way while the Boy managed to do two out of the three miles.

Walk-a-Thon

October was busy starting with the school's only fundraiser - the Walk-a-Thon.  They hold this event during school hours and it is a blast.  Every class got 15 minutes to run as many laps as they could to earn money for the school.  Parents come to cheer them on. The boy had a great time and ran thirteen laps!  He would have done more had he not stopped at the water table 5 times.

The girl was glad to meet the school mascot.

I love the boy's new teacher.  She is an incredibly patient woman.

What a fun day!

 

My Girl, the Good Guy

Yesterday the Girl asked me if I am "stuck with the evil daddy".  I said yes.......yes I am.
