Hope everyone had a great Halloween!
Marc and I had a small party at our house on Friday night. We carved pumpkins (you can see mine above), and played some Trivial Pursuit. I didn't get to bed until 3 am, I was exhausted! Cynthia won our pumpkin carving contest. Kenny did a great job on his too, but he was exempt from winning since he's family (and he's had lots of practice before).
You can see all the pumpkins and other pictures here. The photos are in the Halloween 2004 album.
I dragged myself out of bed Saturday morning and went to teach. The kid that's the pain in the rear didn't show up (he ended up showing up in Kenny's class later that day). After that I rushed home and took Bandit to his sheep-herding lesson.
In the evening we went to the Cal-ASU game with Kenny and Leslie. I think I read that it was the latest start time ever for a game at Memorial Stadium. I brought a blanket, which was a good thing, since it was freezing at the game. We sat by some families with kids again, but this time the kids were so well behaved. You could totally tell it had a lot to do with the parents. Which makes me feel a little better, heh.
We grabbed some late dinner at Denny's afterwards (I had breakfast, of course), then went home and crashed.
Sunday morning I took Bandit to Petsmart in his sheep costume. Melanie had Lucas' cat costume, and we took some pictures of the dogs. It was hilarious, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard.
Here's another pic of Bandit in his costume (which he seems to actually like):
It was so funny, totally worth the two weeks it took me to make it. :)
We went over to my parents' house in the evening to help my dad move some furniture - he just finished putting hardwood floors in the living/dining rooms, which looked really good. We had dinner there while Bandit played with Harvey.
After a day of playing with all his friends (Snoopy, Lucas, and Harvey), Bandit was pretty pooped.
We didn't get a single trick-or-treater Sunday night. Talk about a bummer - we had like 5 pumpkins out there!
Anyways, don't forget to vote tomorrow, everyone!
I am literally laughing out loud at how CUTE Bandit is in his sheep costume! Awesome job! I would never have guessed that this was your first attempt at sewing. He is way, way, way, tooooo cute.
Hehe thanks! :) He pretty much walked around like he didn't even notice it, lol.
The pumpkin carving was tons of fun! Even an uncreative person like myself can do it! hehe. whoever thought up pumpkin carving kits was a creative genius! =) thanks bonnie for a fun-filled night. and thanks vicki for being a fun trivia pursuit partner. i don't think i've laughed so much during trivia pursuit! hopefully we were entertaining for the rest of the group too. =)
