I got released from Activity Days earlier this month. It was pretty bittersweet, one on hand I’ll be glad to spend more time with my husband and daughter but on the other I’ll miss the girls and I’ll miss the creative outlet it gave me. For my last activity I planned the Mother/Daughter activity as a cowgirl theme. Since they’re 10 years old we had a bit of fun with the food. They couldn’t stop giggling at the cow pies. š
It was Father-in-Law’s 60th birthday yesterday so we rang it in with a big surprise party! A week ago Jessie and I took the girls to Riverdale and got a bunch of decorations for the party from Zurchers…my favorite party store…Scott’s so happy it’s not closer to us or we’d be very poor. We put up SO much tape for the decorations, I think I’ll be finding pieces of it well into the New Year.
I had our Halloween activities day at my house. I thought it’d be fun to do a spooky dinner and then play Halloween jeopardy after. We feasted on Zombie Brains & Witch Eyes: Purple spaghetti & meatballs with olives. Withered leaves: Salad. Vampire Repellent: Garlic Bread
We had our annual Halloween party last night! It was a lot more low key than usual, I didn’t even send out actual invites this year…only texts! Gasp, the horror! I’m still surprised at the things that have become harder now that I have someone else to add into the equation but it turned out spooktacular! We went as Raggedy Ann & Andy plus our cute kitty cat! The 9 hours I spent making those wigs, pulling every single thread through the beanies, were totally worth it because they really made the costumes!
