Weekend Wrap Up

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend. We had our share of ups and downs this weekend. For those of you unaware, J-Man has come down with the seasonal flu. We've kept him hydrated and the fever under control so I anticipate a full recovery in a few days. His illness hampered part of our plans on Halloween but we ended up having a great day.

Our day started with a late arrival to the tailgate party. I wanted J-Man to get as much rest as possible since we still had trick or treating to do later. We had so much fun watching the big game with our friends and neighbors. Our school's second division play off game ended in success. Friday, the KCC Bearcats are headed to the Alerus Center in Grand Forks to face Stephen-Argyle. No more watching the football game in the freezing cold! WOO HOO!!! School will dismiss early so everyone who wants can attend the game. With any luck, everyone in my house will be well, otherwise we'll have to follow the game on the radio. ;(


I'm dying to find out where our neighbor, Nancy, got her fun football glasses!

After the game, I put the finishing touches on costumes and everyone got ready for trick or treating. We ditched the Halloween party, again to give J-Man some extra rest time but we still had a blast begging for candy at all the neighbor's houses.



All the costumes except for Wild Man's were homemade. Optimus Prime was simply a bunch of different boxes painted and glued together with openings cut for the head and arms. I made it to work with his snow suit so he would stay warm and toasty during the cold night air. J-Man had a hard time moving in it and quickly lost patience with it. Next year we'll go for a sewn or assembled costume like a Super Secret Spy, Ninja, or even a Professional Chef. Hubby's costume was the easiest. It took less than five minutes. He was a "Nudist on Strike!" Sorry for the bad picture, it was taken with hub's cell phone! The neighbors L.O.V.E.D. his costume so much the kids scored extra candy because of it! My husband-What a nut!

What was your weekend like???
