Today's the big day, the day we wait 364 other days to get to. I gotta keep this short, lots to do when I get home! Need to paint Dylans face and get him all creepified, then set up some strobe lights out front to look like lightning and to light up my freaky costume. Then get dressed and wait for little kids to happen by and scare. Should be a good time had by all.
So with daylight savings it's nice and light for my morning walk, plus its unseasonable warm out and so it felt like a summer day. Of course that will change when we're plunged back into darkness at 3:00. Still, it was nice being able to see where we're walking.
Yesterday was nice, pretty warm out. The grass is finally green again and needed cut, so I did that while Kim and Dylan raked leaves. Then Dylan and I tried to dig up a little tree to replant elsewhere else in the yard, when we couldn't pull it out after 20 mins of hard labor digging, we put the truck to work and tied a rope around the roots. Slowly I backed up in 4 wheel drive until (you guessed it) the rope broke. So I hacked it off at the roots with an ax and filled in the hole. Then, its off to bowling where we always have a great time. Dylan is getting much better, for me its like golf. I can roll 3 strikes in a row, then suck horribly, all in one game. Kim is pretty consistent (as long as the bumper guards are up, ha ha ha) I tease.
We have to practice and get our act together for when grandpa comes out. Dylans pretty sure he's going to beat him. I keep tryin' to tell the high hoped little fella that none of us will beat him. Even if we combine our scores, so we may have to go Tonya Harding on him with a crowbar to the knee in the parking lot. That gave him some hope.
He would like a bowling ball for xmas a 6 pounder with holes just right for him. I think its more that he wants something else heavy to leave on the floor for me to kick bare toed in the middle of the night than it is for bowling, but we'll see. Either way, it will be an entertaining gift for him.
I hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
