These have been eventful weeks in our house. For all of you that have been concerned about the basement shower, you can rest easy knowing that it is in, functional and only needs the last little touch ups to make it picture perfect. Oh, and they installed the piping to the hot/cold nozzle backwards. Sigh. One last thing, huh? Dad Windu still needs to finish painting the ceiling, even out the floor next to the shower and put down tile next to the shower door. Hopefully, these things will be completed this weekend, but either way we are no longer trying to wash our hair in the bathtub so all is good in my book.

We pulled up a bit short on the Halloween ridiculousness this year. We hit the basics of course, pumpkin carving and Trick or Treating, but did little else.

I never did get a single Halloween decorations out, which is a huge shame because I love Halloween and have a few things that I drag out of storage only for October. Padawan Learner went as a Cereal Killer (picture below).

 

I didn’t get to sew the boy a costume this year, nor last year come to think of it. Maybe that part of my life is getting phased out. On Halloween morning, we headed out to assemble the costume (nothing like waiting until the last minute). We bought an orange shirt at the first store we went to, had to drive around for a while to find iron-on letters and couldn’t find orange pants for the life of us. He had already “improved” his oversized box of Cheerios. After his homeschool gymnastics class and a visit to the podiatrist, we headed over to Qui-Gonn Jinn’s house for some play time before dinner and Trick or Treating. Unfortunately, Yoda, Han Solo and their boys like to Trick or Treat in “their own neighborhood” but at least we got to see their costumes last weekend. C-3PL was quite ferocious looking in his Ninja costume, just so you know. Dad Windu met us at Qui-Gon Jinn’s after work, but decided to stop at home to divest himself of his Obi-Wan Kenobi costume first. I guess wearing it all day at work had been enough for him. Go figure.
