The new month begins...

Halloween: an opportunity for mayhem, choas, and candy!

Who knew fog machine liquid had a chemical that turned sticky when blowing through the air? Our front porch steps were stickified last night, and the gunk was tracked into the house by rambunctious teenagers. It wasn't noticed until this morning, otherwise I could have prevented the majority of the mess. However, the hardwood floors were sticky, as well as the kitchen floor and stairwell. Basically the whole upstairs of the house, with the exception of the master bedroom.

Of course the fog machine worked wonders, all the kids were scared! Andrew and his friend Rhett provided the monster factor, and spooky sounds emanated from the ground beneath the porch. Overall it was a successful haunting of the front porch and will be continued next year. We already have a plan to avoid the sticky floor thing.

Jessica got her hair cut today, it is so cute! It's a bit shorter overall with much shorter bangs. She's going to post some pic's on fb later so if you're her friend look for them.

The class this month, Introduction to Linguistics, is already kicking my butt! I worked for 5+ hours today and still have so much more to go this week. The chapter I left off at is particularly tricky and will require additional reading. At least next week we have a day off school (Veterans Day).

I just noticed how dark it is, then looked at the clock, and then had to take a double-look at the clock. Daylight savings time. Yeah! Of course you would never know it is Nov. 1st here. I have been wearing shorts all day.

Off to make sure the kids have finished any homework hey had this weekend, and to get some things ready for the week ahead.
