A week of denounemont....

After that wonderful party on Sunday the rest of this week has been - blah for lack of a better word. At least that's how I have been feeling, lol. Smiles has been very happy -mostly- she has a cold. But she did make it to school on Tuesday I was worried for awhile that morning that she wouldn't make it for her real birthday and school pictures. She did though and got dressed up in one of her special occasion dresses and Daddy gave her one last present. A necklace with a horse and a small garnet on it. She was thrilled and loved being able to wear it to school. Still she was sick and her cough has gotten worse so I have been monitoring her. This weather is playing havoc with everyone's systems I am certain of it. Hot - Cold -Hot - Cold. Make up your mind already!!!

Right now its gorgeous out and I have all the windows in the house open just to cool things off. Today we are going to carve the big pumpkin and put that in the bay window. I am going to open it up and scoop out all the insides before picking Bear up from school. Then after he's done his homework and if there's time before supper I'll let him draw the face he wants on it. Then I get to try and carve it out. Lol that should be fun. I figure I better do this today since tomorrow is garbage day. haha.

Last night was fun. I went swimming with Raven and we met Fox and Slickie? in the hot tub afterwards. We even went in the current pool for awhile before the main pool closed at 9pm. Fox had never been in there and had a lot of fun just floating around in it. Then I ended up going over to Raven's to check out this Renaissance Costume she wants to make for herself. Don't mind me if I giggle through out this process because she is finally attempting to use patterns for the first in in her sewing career. I was able to point out a few things and explain a few others but for the most part I do think Raven will be fine. She is a good sewer (that's sower not suwer people!) and she has DD and I to call and ask questions of should she need help. As I said before I think she'll be fine. Her materials and colours are gorgeous. Teal satin with flocked black velvet pattern. A gorgeous gold satiny patterned lining and for the bodice a black gold and some silver brocade style material. All of those together look fabulous. Wow. Definitely her colours.

I am looking forward to Friday because that's Raven's Birthday Party and she has been holding it at the top East Indian Restaurant for the last 4 or 5 years. Which means the girls night out get to eat really really well. Yum!!! I just hope Hubby can make it home early enough because there are some of our friend who can only come for a short time. Still I am sure some of us will be there til 11pm which is our usual departure time on these nights. Haha. Otherwise Raven and I have decided since Ladies of Hack just wasn't going anywhere on Fridays that we were going to turn it into another swimming/costuming night. Which makes me happy cause I need to do both!

Other than that my friend who's moving back to Newfoundland is borrowing my air mattress because they currently have no furniture in the apartment. Lol. That and they got flights back on Halloween at 11 pm so the boys will be able to go trick or treating that night. Yeah!!! This makes her happy because she was thinking she would not survive the 6 day Drive back to Newfoundland. The boys apparently have trouble keeping to themselves in the car for a few hours let alone 6 days! So I am happy for her she got her flights but am still sad she has to leave. Sigh them's the breaks!

Oh and the baby is getting more and more active while my hips are being displaced. I definitely have that distinctive pregnant waddle. Waddle waddle waddle!
