Happy Halloween

I know I've been MIA for the last several days but don't worry, I haven't gone anywhere. My hands are full working on J-Man's Optimus Prime costume for Halloween, reading a couple of books I've been dying to get into as well as fighting a terrible migraine the last two days. Thankfully the latter is gone and tomorrow the finishing touches will be put on Optimus Prime for his big debut tomorrow night. I'll be sure to share photos of our exciting day and J-Man's labor-some costume!

Today we had to travel over 80 miles back to Fargo for yet another doctor's appointment over hubby's back. A few weeks ago his back started hurting again after some seemingly simple act of sneezing while bending over to tie his shoes. We thought he pulled a muscle. After visiting with the doc today, it appears he may have re-herniated his disc but we won't know for sure till another MRI is done. So much for getting back to normal! At least we have a plan so forward motion is better than no motion at all! ;)

We've got a full Halloween Day planned. Our high school football playoff game starts tomorrow at 2pm with a tailgate party kicking off at noon. (YES, they won last week's big game 42 to ZIP!) Soon after the game, the city's annual Halloween party begins at 5:30 with trick-or-treating getting under way as soon as dark hits. Whew that's a lot going on!

As I mentioned J-Man will be Optimus Prime while Wild Man will transform into a fearless tiger. Unless we put something together pretty quickly, hubby and I will just schlep the kids from place to place as an excited but tired 'mom and dad'!

What's everyone else dressing up as for the big day??? Are YOU dressing up with your kids?

If you haven't put together any costumes yet, don't worry-I've got you covered. Check out this great link for quickie costumes! My favorite is the "Pot Head" costume: kitchen pot on top of your head! ;)) Have Fun and be safe!
