The Ghost of Halloweens Past







I went down to the basement to look for Autumn shoes for Mommy now that Canada has exported their weather to us, and found Peter's first Halloween costume (but not the shoes). Peter wanted to put it on immediately, and then started asking for Halloween candy. He knows how the game is played.

I Was Never Tardy In School

I know I haven’t posted anything since Jimmy Carter was president (or maybe it just seems that way), but I have many good excuses. So select the one you like and run with it:

 

1.         I was busy.

2.         I was really busy.

3.         Boy, was I busy!

4.         Can’t talk – busy!

5.         Busy!

6.         My bookie had my fingers broken for failure to pay up on my bad bets, so I couldn’t type anything.

7.         I have a blog?

8.         Summertime! And the living is eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeazayyyyy!

9.         Peter has been sitting quietly in a corner, reading Chaucer, Faulkner, and Danielle Steele ever since June, and has therefore been boring.

10.        The internet was busted so I couldn’t do nuthin’.

 

 

And for anyone who doesn't know, Peter's going to be a big brother in about 4-5 months. We just found out today that he will have a little sister (well, we can't say that with 100% certainty, but we did not see any twigs or berries in the ultrasound this morning. There could have been some hiding going on, but we doubt it). Peter was pretty adamant about preferring to have a puppy instead of a baby at first, but now he's come around 180 degrees and is now obsessed with Baby.

 

I had started another blog way back when we found out about the baby so I could record what was going on in the early stages of the pregnancy, which I failed to do in this one. I started this one what, two or three months before the due date? I wasn't going to let that happen again. Except for the part about having about 18 minutes of free time all summer. Didn't see that coming. Well, I'll just dump everything in this blog now, you know, every three months or so...

 

Ok, maybe not that intermittent, but I can't guaranty anything. I'll see what I can do.

 

Oh, and Peter's doing fine. Talking a lot, running around, doing little boy stuff. I'll ask him to do something entertaining one of these days so I can write something about it. Or forget to...
