Update October

              I know I know I am horrible at the blogging thing, I keep hoping to get better at it but I am failing miserably at it. So as we all know Halloween is coming up and as a parent to two little boys that means at least two costumes.  

              I let them pick out their costumes. DS1 is going to be a ninja and he is quite excited about it. I did end up purchasing this online since it was the best deal I could find and he was quite specific on wanting to be a black and red ninja. 




              DS2 wanted to be a ninja turtle, he didn't care which ninja turtle as long as he got to be a ninja turtle. A friend of ours son was a ninja turtle a few years ago, gave use their costume to use for Halloween.  So now our youngest is excited

to wear his ninja turtle costume and has been telling everybody he sees how he is going to be a ninja turtle for Halloween.


DH doesn't have any desire to dress up this year, we are going to a costume party the Friday before Halloween but as he will be coming after he gets of work he is insisting his work clothes will be sufficient. I on the other hand am trying to come up with a costume I can wear to this party and to work on Halloween (we dress up at work).  I do not feel like spending 40$ or more to purchase a costume that is cheaply made. So I am trying to work with what I already have or I can purchase at a craft or thrift store and make into a costume. I am considering gypsy, steam punk, pirate or something like red riding hood.  The only reason steam punk is even being considered is because I am also invited to a steam punk themed party but it sees to be expensive coming up with a steam punk costume even if you buy thrift do to the accessories. My sewing machine is still broken so it puts a snag in making a costume. Any suggestions anybody?


              Things are slowing down at work as we get closer and closer to the winter months, which is good. Classes this term seem to be going well, thus far I have A's in all my classes which makes me happy (am just nerdy like that). Whether it stays that way or not we will see. I have yet to get anything besides an A from any college course I have taken but there is always a first time for everything. I am scheduled for surgery on my left arm on the 7th of November. On top of that I have jury duty for the month of November. For some crazy reason they actually expect me to remember to call every night for the month of November starting Oct 31st to see if I have jury duty the next day and at which location. I am getting waived for the time I have to be out for surgery but since I do not need use of my arm to attend jury duty and it's day surgery it is only being waived the day of surgery and for pre-op. 


              I have begun my Christmas shopping, just this last weekend actually. I hope to be done before black Friday.  Wish me luck. I hope all of you out there are doing well and enjoying your fall season.
