Scenes from The Weekend...



It was a full, fun, festive fall weekend...

Sorry I couldn't resist a little Monday morning alliteration. My brain is mushy from too much activity (and too many reeses peanut butter cups).

Let's see...we did a little high school football game tailgating on Friday, helped host a grown-up costume bash on Saturday (where I went as sort of an Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction/Vampire hybrid...don't ask), made some comically bad pumpkin muffins, attended a fun birthday party for two of Audrey's buddies on Saturday where the girlies dressed as matching cowgirls and went to a neighborhood Halloween block party complete with apple bobbing.

Whew.

And then of course there was trick-or-treating, which was a decidedly different enterprise this year. On the upside, Millie was really into it. Her mild fear of the scary decorations was totally overshadowed by the whole candy thing...that kid is mad for sugar. It's nuts.

On the downside, Audrey has decided she's a total big kid and quickly fell in with her buddies (otherwise known as a gang of crazy seven-year-olds), and they insisted on running from house to house, amassing as much sugar as humanly possible in their little plastic pumpkin head totes. It was mayhem, Tasmanian devil-esque...I couldn't keep up. So Bryan went with the crazed big kids, and Millie and I followed (way) behind...slooowly making our way through the neighborhood.

Times they are a changin.

Hope your weekend was fantastic.
