Pass the candy?

43 Halloweens have now passed me by...the time between each gets closer and closer. This year was especially fun with Little Mr dressed in a penguin suit for his first Halloween! He was about as impressed with it as I am with this election. Aaaggghhhh! 4 more days and it will all be over...but like the last election 4 yrs ago, it will be just the start of yet another 4 yrs of campaigning that we have been victim to by Obama and Hillary in the last 4. Oh my gosh... I feel like screaming and some hair pulling...only I don't have much hair left to pull.

This morning was an especially nice and sunny Friday morning...I met an old friend for breakfast for a short visit. She has always been like a big sister to me...I remember thinking she was just sooooo cool when I was a kid. She still is...and has always marched to her own drum which I must say I admire. Thanks Denice for lending an ear...you are a good friend whom I am glad to know!

We had the joy of two kids coming home today...first our oldest daughter Linds showed up with hogging the baby on her mind...=O) thanks for being such a wonderful aunt to that little guy Sparkie...you have grown into such an amazing young woman that dad and I are SOOOO proud of! Hoping your process of applying to medical schools goes well...you deserve it!

Brooks was our other pop in - arriving tonight about 7 and also looking first for his little nephew. Rylan - you are such a big hit with everyone! But why not??? You are one darling little boy - we are so blessed to have you in our family! Brooks will be around for the weekend to take in some hockey scrimmages tomorrow. I will be heading to GF to pick up Lacey and Rylan, who went home with Lindsey tonight to spend the night. Lindsey plans on practicing her mothering skills while taking care of the baby and giving her little sister a break...and some uninterrupted sleep!

It is time for me to hit the pillow - having been a very long day...I was up at 3am with little man and slept just a little before the alarm blasted me out of bed. It's been fun.

Goodnight
