Happy Halloween

Our day was busy but lots of fun. We spent part of the day at the girls’ school getting them put together for their Halloween parade. (pretty uneventful) However, every year Abigail’s current teacher, Mrs. Sniegowski, the coolest 2nd grade teacher I know, makes her own costume and it’s different every year. The requirement is that it must be a book character. Last year she was the very hungry caterpillar. This year she rocked it as the old woman who swallowed a fly. So creative!!!

The girls had lots of fun dressing up. I think Abigail had the most fun getting super glamorous, especially when she got home from school, because then we got to add all of the make-up and really fix up the hair. It’s probably fair to say that mommy had lots of fun with it too. We had a fun get-together at the Markmiller’s along with the Fletcher’s, Riley’s and Ho’s before trick-or-treating through Torrance. Us Cash’s finished up in our neck of the woods stopping by our neighbors before calling it a night. Abigail was a little sad to take the make-up off and let the hair down, but we start back as normal people, up and off to school in the morning, more cleaning and reflections to mess with, but sounds of the season (Christmas music) will most likely be playing at some point. Getting me in a festive mood, thinking ahead about Christmas shopping (I’m starting with my mother-in-law on the 10th), planning crafts, gifts, and settling into fall and winter. Unfortunately, the “cool” weather that we’re having will as usual be short-lived, it’s supposed to warm up again over the weekend. I’m hesitant to pull down the bins and switch out clothes just yet. That day will come.
