whew. fantabulous mommy has been busy. took kate trick or treating, which was fun at susan's house. her first little time to trick or treat. i purchased a duck costume for her but the whole headgear part of it scared her. perhaps she didn't like the feet part either.
so i made her a tutu out of some old tulle and ribbon. it lasted about 10 minutes but that was good enough for some pictures.
after trick or treating at 1 house, we went to the kids carnival in bsl, and it was....overwhelming. kids everywhere, scary people, scary masks, darkness, loudness. one must not face this with their child alone.
we had no trick or treaters.
andy is out of town, so i have been accompanied by some fun girl staff members who want to get out of the bunks at church into a real bed.
kate had a fun day-we made it to walmart, downtown for a walk, home for lunch and a nap, and then to go for another walk but the mosquitoes were eating us alive so we didn't make it farther than a block.
monday night was fun, went to new orleans for a staff member's bday-she turned 21. we made it to pat o briens and the cats meow for some karaoke. of course, i was the only one brave enough to sing. i did a lively rendition of "sweet child of mine."
sunday at church was great-someone besides me or andy worked the nursery-we actually sat together and heard the sermon. it was delish. we spent the rest of the day resting and watching movies.
kate is so fun now...more and more every day. today she had fun climbing in and out of the laundry basket turned on its side. she loves her mardi gras beads and her blankie. she loves to feed rosie off her high chair table. she hates riding in the car basically.
i did 4 loads of laundry today-such a treat since i have my own washer again!
hope all my readers are well.
