Trick~OR~Treat

Wow, I made it through last week... it was a CRAZY one. I definitely function better being busy, but last week was CRAZY busy. Meaning if there was a free hour, I packed something into that hour and then ran around like a mad woman trying to get everything done. I really do prefer being busy... it feels good at the end of the day to look at everything I have accomplished for that day.

So Friday morning comes and I rush around trying to get kids dressed and ready, breakfast and lunch made, and get Spider Girl out the door and BUZZ ready for preschool.

♥LOVE, love these two little faces♥

...and I know you do too♥

Then, it was time for Hallie's class party and boy what a treat that was...

The kids (and parents) were thoroughly entertained by THIS rockstar dad:

Taralie and I decided to keep past decades alive, she rocked a 1970's jumpsuit and me: TOTALLY 80's (I really do love the 80's, a LOT!)

The kids enjoyed a little Trick-or-Treating

...and I have enjoyed my fair share of chocolate and fruity candy.

I sometimes laugh at night as I'm eating candy and look over and see my growing pile of wrappers. Before, it was our pile of wrappers and usually your pile had more than mine. Oh well, someone had to regain that crown ;)

*Happy Halloween Babe*

Post Halloween pits...

Today, I got a call from Hallie's teacher.

She was having a rough day at school and just really missing you. It broke my heart to hear that and then hearing her sob on the phone hurt even more. We talked and I tried my hardest to comfort her over the phone- that helpless feeling really stinks!

Luckily, I only had an hour before I could comfort her in my arms.

She walked off the bus with the biggest smile on her face. We got home and I asked her if everything was okay. First I got a yes, and then the tears did all the talking...

She wanted her Daddy to go Trick-or-treating with her.

She misses having you come home from work to play with her.

She wants you to tuck her in every night like you once did.

She wanted you to be sitting at the table with us...

For Hallie, today was just one of those days.

Once she cheered up, I told her we should have a FUN Family Night and

do "CHEERS" for the Giants game tonight.

(CHEERS in our household means using the nice glasses to drink a little sparkling cider)

Hallie and Max were SO excited. We all LOVE doing "CHEERS!"

Instead of sparkling cider, we made up our own little bubbly concoction with Sprite, pineapple juice and DRY ICE. It was DE-LISH.

"CHEERS to the GIANTS"

The night ended on a pretty happy note. Kids got to do CHEERS, Giants won the World Series

and on a less happy note:

Hallie soaked her cast in the tub.

After an emotional afternoon, we had a fun-filled night and I know it made you happy, to see how happy we were tonight.

Cheers to you Babe, Love you
