Yet another routine day around the household. The day outside today was BEAUTIFUL! Wow! Blue sky, warm sun, a bit windy and there was a chill in the air. But it is OCTOBER PEOPLE! So I'm not complaining. I could have days like this until Nov. 5. I would be a happy person. And on to our events of the day.
1.) We hit costco this morning. The kids and I packed up nice and early (ok, early for us. We were in the parking lot of costco by 945 this morning. Definately a feat when we all didn't roll out of bed until 0800.) and hit the trail. I would say this was one of the better decisions on my part. I only went because we ran out of dogfood and the puppies were starv-ing! So on the advice of Papa Bear, who attempted to go last night but had to abandoned his cart in the tv section because the line ups (or lack thereof, apparently it was chaos it was so busy ) were absolutely insane, I geared up for an early attack. I would say we missed the first wave of insanity. I parked yon monster truck out in the boondocks where I could completely take advantage of a pull-thru parking spot. And by the time we got out (no line ups! Yay!) people were lined up to take my parking stall. Face it, no one parks in la-la-land unless they really have to. So I would have to assume that costco became nutso after we left. But we did sacrifice Mr.Mister's nap to get 'er done. He fell asleep on the way home, but successfully transfer without waking to his bed. Hand-pump that feat! YEAH!
2.) We pulled out the Halloween decorations and took advantage of the nice weather to get our house looking a little more ghoulish. Ok, not ghoulish because our theme always seems to be spiders. But one year I will have some grave stones and scary fencing with ghosties floating away in our front yard. But for the mean time we will stick to non-scary stuff. I'm ok with that.
And of course I had a helper 'helping' me out. Good thing Gramma showed up to watch and take care of the little guy while all this commotion was going on.
My helper 'helped' me unpack the Halloween box. It was very exciting. Full of pumpkins and spiders and spiderwebs and sparkly lights. Oh and this fabulous witches hat. "I'm a witch and I'm SCAAAAAAAARY!" That's what we got told anyhow.
3.) We still had some time before dinner so we went out for a walk. Lil' Miss rode her bike and Gramma and I and Mr.Mister strolled along and enjoyed the beautiful day. Lil' Miss finally figured out that we were going the 'special way'. Yes, we headed to the Mac's store for a slurpee. She acted like she goes there all the time. In fact I do believe she told Gramma this. Now Gramma probably thinks I feed her sugar whenever I get the opportunity to. But I don't. Just for the record!
We took a longer way home and I ended up with a sleep walker whom I finally had to pick up and carry home. Gramma carried her bike.
4.) Supper was nice. Ham, scalloped potatoes and broccoli. Both little ones enjoyed a feast (ate ALL their dinner. It was nice.) Mr. Mister hit the sack (and boy did he ever. He was pooched!) and we all retired to the basement to watch the Lion King on blu-ray in 1080 HD. Apparently for the longest time we have been watching our HD/Blu-ray in 780, which is not technically HD. Papa Bear finally got his act together and set the tv up properly (like I know what I'm talking about.....not really......) and now we have spectacular tv with BOSE sound (once again, I'll have to take his work for it....). But it really is pretty spectacular and just like being at the movies. Nifty. Lil' Miss stayed awake for the whole movie and watched it. I was amazed. Although I think she was just too tired to be her traditional jumping bean self. Now I'm waiting for the sadness and nightmares to begin. A few sketchy parts, but of course we'll see how much impact they made tonight.
And that's it that's all. Tomorrow.....PUMPKIN PATCH!!!!!

WOw, sounds like a full day of activities! Can't say the same for our household! Lots of lazy, a tiny bit of cleaning, and some mini album pages are the fruits of my non labour!

Yup, I kept busy: a long visit with Joanne at Bliss till closing (no one was there), 7 BAGS OF LEAVES (and debris), and one concert with a dude that lost his voice. The bed was comfy when I got home!
NICE BLOG!

Thanks again for doing this. It's kinda like extended scrapbooking, n'est-ce pas? Hope we get the final day's entry! (hinthinthint).
1) I'm jealous of your sunshine, as it's been pouring rain here for the past week +
2) Love L'il Nate's plaid lumberjacket!
3) I bought the bulk of my Thanksgiving groceries at 9:40 on Sunday night. I was going to do it earlier, but I stayed at work late, but it all worked out because the grocery store, while normally hopping, was a ghost town. AWESOME.
4) I don't know about a scaaaaaary witch. She certainly is adorable, though.
5) I haven't had a Slurpee all year. I should rectify this before it gets cold(er)
6) Yup, HD resolution is 1920 X 1080. We have to deal with this all the time at work. Some of our footage is SD, some of it is "fake SD" and some of it is HD. There's a way of making everything look the same, but most of the time people don't bother, so when you watch the news and every story has clips that are squished and or stretched, THAT'S WHY.
