Happy Halloween one day late!
I had a busy Halloween weekend! Friday was a fun day at work. I know fun day at work, am I crazy? I hope not! My place of employment really gets into Halloween. It is so fun to see so many people in costume. People bring in their cute little kids in costume. They even supplied lunch for us. Soup in bread bowls, it was so yummy! Of course for dessert we had sugar cookies. You have to have those!
The funniest thing that I saw on Friday had to be when a follow worker brought in her grandsons. She was dressed as a cow complete with udders and a tail. One grandson was pulling on her tail and the other was pulling on the udders! I laughed my head off!
I even dressed up. I am never very creative. This year I was a nerd. I had my shirt buttoned all wrong. I had tape on my glasses. My pants were rolled up and I even had a homemade pen protector. Pen protectors do exist. I saw them at Office Depot but they were clear. I did not buy them. You have to be able to see them to really play the part of a nerd.
On Friday night my dad called and said that he and mom could come help me with my craft room. I need to get it ready for the desk to be in there. I am so grateful that they came! It was great if not a lot tiring!
So Saturday around 8:30 or so my parents showed up! Dad started working on the kitchen sink that had some hard water issues. That meant we had to go to Home Depot a few times. He ended up replacing the valve underneath the sink and the faucet.
While Dad was doing that Mom and I were working on my soon-to-be craft room. It has become a catch all room. By the end of the day we got it under control. We took a couple of loads to the DI on our trips to Home Depot.
Then the craft room has also had problems with the lights. So Dad turned into an electrician as well. For awhile I did not electricity in the room or in the other bedroom but it is ok now. It is working. Mom and I had our doubts but dad got it fixed. By the end of the project, he was calling himself the master! That is my dad for you.
I was tired after a long day.
I did get a few trick or treaters. That is always fun. One little girl did not even carry her pillow case for her candy. Her mom did, she just came to the door and said trick or treat and kind of curtsied. Another little girl was the cutest little devil with her curly black hair. Then there was a couple of older girls complete with shoulder pads being football players.

Lesley--I'm glad you had a fun time at work on Friday! Your work does sound like a fun place to work at times...maybe not all the time though! You guys always seem to have yummy food & treats! You know how to have a good party! And, I'm glad Mom & Dad were able to come down Saturday to help you w/your craft room & other repairs. Isn't wonderful we've got a Dad who's a talented fix-it guy? And, just think very soon you will have a nice desk all put together in your craft room, too! It's coming right along! Think of all the cool projects you'll be able to do in there!!! Love you lots! --Shelly
I want to see your craft room! So glad your parents could join your fun.
Whitney, you would have to wait to see the craftroom. There is so much to do first! Tonight my home teacher is coming over to put together the desk. So it is getting closer! I have had the desk for forever!
