Yay!

Wow, this whole last week seemed to have just breezed right on by without me hardly even noticing it. It's been rather tough coming to terms with being on our own again, but I guess I'm warming up to the idea. Finally went and took a look at the inside today to see what I'm dealing with. It's got a month's worth of dust built up inside on the surfaces, so I'm gonna hafta scrub those down before setting anything on them. The windows need to be washes, floors washed and vacuumed, the light fixtures need a good rub out, and I think it'll be ok to start moving things in. Those are just better to do when it' empty. I wouldn't mind washing the walls either, but what's the point when i don't have a good deoderizer that I can add to my water?
Things have been going so quickly cause I've had a lot to do.
Made D's costume, packed, made the applesauce for the "Floating Eyeballs" (of which I finished stuffing the grapes this morning just before pre-school), took the kids out, made the masks for the classmates (15 total). Doesn't seem like a lot, but when you consider the effort, no wonder I'm beat!

Tommorow is Halloween! Yay!
I'm not completely happy with the decorations outside, but I will go out and make final adjustments tommorow morning with D in tow.
I LOVE Halloween. D really enjoys it as well. :o)

Back to making my mummy costume, just needed a break, but since sitting at the comp requires the same muscles, it's kinda pointless.

I Needed The Cheer

Today was fun-filled.
After realizing the date, was in a mad rush to get the kids ready to go out.
Went to two different places. The first was the Mt. Boo Arena where they had another family fun day for only 1.00 per person! What a deal! We made crafts, danced, and went into their haunted house and got a treat bag. Was fun.
Then we headed out to Glenmore where we visited the World of Worms! Was kinda icky when we went on the worm tour...to squiggly for me. But they had a fantastic set up with a small corm maze, a graveyard, haunted house, pumpkin decorating centre, storytelling area, small animal viewing (LLama & chickens), and hot chocolate/coffee. Was worth the ten bucks for D and I.
I made D a Super Mario costume yesterday...it's cute. I dressed H in the tigger kids costume since I couldn't find the froggy one of D's. I'm disappointed I couldn't find it, but he was still real cute.

Uploaded some new pix to FLickr of the last week. Been kinda bored lately...the impending doom of moving has set in.
So has depression.
*sighs*
Got a lot to do today...got D's Mario costume (main part) made. now all I hafta do is make some shoe covers, and the eyebrows and moustache and I'm done.
D told me that he wants me to be a Mummy for Halloween, so I gotta make my costume as well.
Nevermind the packing I've got to do.
I don't want to get a job.

Sheesh

I hate it when i forget what I was gonna blog about now. :oP
Yesterday H got up on his hands and knees. I was changing his diaper in Dairy Queen in Rutland (was gonna go to Value Village) and he was super poopie, and I set him on his tummy to get him out of his clothes, and he pushed himself up on all fours for a few seconds. I could've sworn he was tryin to scramble away from me.
Today, he figure out how to turn himself around in the excer-saucer.

He's too smart, I swear it.

Ho Hum

Chance's truck is dead again. So, the money for that new battery is down the drain.
this week really snuck by quickly, and I'm left rushing to make the Super Mario costume for D.
Not to mention the masks that I wanted to make. I do commit myself too much to some of this stuff, I know, but I actually do really enjoy it. I enjoy the knowledge that I'm the only parent who puts forth any amount of effort (besides chopping food) for the kids to really make them enjoy the holiday.
Got my apples lastnight when I was out with mom.
D's room was such a sty that I cleaned it lastnight. I made his bed too cause when he spilled water on it, I took everything off to hang to dry, but didn't put sheets on it.
So, his room now has a stack of boxes, an empty shelf, and some toy piled up neatly by the door.
Today I have to try and get D's costume made, so I'm not rushing through the weekend.
Man I need to clean in here, but I just don't have the time...it's one or the other.
Am kind of saddened that I missed the last wednesday of the month, but oh well, there's always another month.
So, am just unwinding myself before I get myself pshyched out to make the costume.
Here's hoping I can pop it off today.

Thoughts

I'm thinkin i may just start trying to phase in a nap every other day. Hopefully that'll help with the outbursts from Darius.

Got my apples for the "Floating Eyeballs".
Just gotta finish my sewing and such.

Chance has been so anxious these past few days, and I started telling him to pack stuff.
He ended up packing almost all of D's toys, and all of his books. Everytime D went to reach for a book today I felt a twinge of guilt. Never mind the toys he wanted to play with. I guess, in a way, it'll show him to be thankful for what he's got.
