Happy Halloween

 I have been super busy at work lately (I know, I know - what is new?)... so Halloween sort of snuck up on me. On the morning of Halloween, Henry's school has an annual singing event. It is a mess with too many parents stuck in a room too small to hold said parents. I left for work before Henry got dressed, so I didn't really see his costume. I knew it was a Skelton, but that was about it. I got to the singing event a little late, so had not a great view.. but I found a little Skelton and started waiving and taking pictures. I stayed for two songs and then rushed back to work to make a meeting (PS- private schools - working parents find it hard to drive 20 minutes each way in the middle of the morning to watch their kid - and 60 others- sing one song for a total of 5 minutes).

When I got home, Henry was very upset with me because I didn't come to his singing event. I told him I did... I waived.. I took pictures. Turns out - that was not Henry! So below you will see pictures of some random child that is not mine.. but also dressed in Skelton costume. I include this story because it pretty much summarizes my year.

Here are the boys in their costumes. We are apparently at the age where "cute" costumes are no longer cool.

We had crappy wet weather for Halloween, which was a bit of a bummer, but we made the best of it! We had a short break in the rain that allowed us to take the boys out to trick-or-treat in the neighborhood. Because we were the only ones out in the cold rain... they got lots of candy!


This is my costume - mom drinking wine in the rain!
