Halloween Finale

The afternoon started with a par-tay and parade (above). I love this parade tradition that LG’s school has. Almost 1000 costumed kids stand in a circle around the soccer field, while the Vice Principal uses a bull-horn to call out, “Sports figures!” “Rock stars!” etc., and each group called leaves the circle [...]

Happy Halloween!

Today, in the school Halloween parade, LG will debut her Arwen costume. Summer and Bucky are the winning guessers, and I guess they should get some sort of prize for their efforts. I’ll have to think of something. Arwen is an Elven Princess from Lord of the Rings. LG is a LOTR fanatic. She’s [...]

Biscuit Friday ~ Devil Dog

As you might have guessed by my absence in blogworld this week, I’ve been hugely busy. When I have a week like this, I need those nearest and dearest to cooperate with me. Jif and LG have been very supportive. Biscuit has NOT. Sometimes you people comment with things like, “Aw, he’s so cute. How [...]

Do You Ever Need a Little Somethin’?

But you don’t quite know what it is? Then Google yourself! I took this highly entertaining meme from Eclectic and SoozieQ. Do a Google search on your first name plus the word “needs.” And Google will tell you just what you need. I learned that: 1)There are some seriously needy Susies; and 2)Susie is a [...]
