Halloween costumes are the bane of my existence. Basically, I don’t care. A lack of care, creativity, time, and money can put a damper on your kids’ Halloween joy.
Little Dude is the winner winner chicken dinner. He would like to be Spiderman, which is exactly what he was last year.
Score!
His teacher gave him a homework assignment over the weekend. He was to write 3 sentences to give her clues as to what he was going to be for Halloween. He wrote his three, and then he ran and grabbed his Spiderman book. And for further writing inspiration, he also donned his costume.
He wrote about 20 sentences and then decided to go on a hunt for all things Spiderman in the house.
He is still on that hunt. And he is still in full costume. 1 hour later.
Hunting season is in full season around here. David already went on his 10 day trip. Little Dude got to go with him for a bit, then Handsome Dude got to go for a bit. The hunting trips aren’t as hard on me as they used to be, with the kids being older and me working full time. It was rough back in ye olden days when the kids were little and I stayed home.
The boys really like going with him. I am getting the impression from David that they are not as quiet as he would like them to be.
Spiderman Update: He has not turned off all the lights and is running around the house with a flashlight.
Why? No one knows.
David rented an excavator and has started the process for the new pig pens. He is expanding the pig business.
Are we surprised? No. No, we are not.
We all knew it was bound to happen. Pretty soon, the whole darn back 40 will be covered with swine. Its only a matter of time.
Spiderman Update: Spiderman is feeling defeated because Spidermom told him to clean up his room.
Life is calming down a bit. We are getting into a better routine. The girls are getting slightly better at managing their homework. I am feeling more connected at my new school. Still not loving the commute, though. The boys are doing well at their new school. Handsome Dude is uber proud of himself because he was awarded a medal for running the most miles in cross country this year . . . 29.2 miles.
I would bet many dollars that I have never run 29.2 miles in my entire life.
Handsome Dude wears his medal everywhere.
Spiderman Update: Spiderman is MIA. Spidermom thinks that cleaning his room is not at the top of his priority list for the day.
Happy Sunday!
Perhaps Spiderman was hanging from a web in a corner somewhere?
I remember Halloween as simply a fun evening to be silly and scary and laugh out loud happy. I think I passed that on to my kids. I hope your kids enjoy their Halloween night! So nice to have it on Saturday this year!
I check back every once in awhile to see if there are any updates. Thanks for sharing .Miss reading about the shenanigans for the Maliblahblahs……..hee
Hope all is going well for you all. Beth
