Pass the Puffs With Lotion Please.

I have been slammed by another round of allergies, or maybe it's a cold. Anyway, I think I am over the worst of it. It started on Monday and is lingering a little bit but much better today. On top of that,it's been a really busy week around here. I have managed to heap new things onto my plate and it is plenty full. I think I even became treasurer of the PTA this week and I am not quite sure how that happened! I must have been over medicating.

I see that my Halloween recap is late...


Sarah and Wyatt and Eva wore repeats of years past, Emily was Nancy Drew and we trick or treated our block with Nena [thank you for spending your Halloween with us] and Emma. We also squeezed in birthday cake and a trip to a fun little Halloween festival complete with dancing. I didn't dance, though I wanted to. It was hard to resist when Tony and Emily did the Macarena. The Chicken Dance and the Cotton-Eyed Joe were also calling out to me, but somehow I didn't give in. Eva was the sweetest little dancer and when another little princess dancer found her, Eva could not ever have been happier. I know that little girls who dress as princesses, sometimes think they are really princesses. It was also fun to discover that my friend Emma has got some great moves!


So now I see turkeys. Turkey art is already making its way home from school. I especially love the turkey art that is drawn from the tracing of a hand. These are from past Novembers:


I am very much looking forward to Thanksgiving, we are going to celebrate it with my family the Saturday before at my sister Renee's because she is going to be at work on the actual holiday. I can't wait to spend the day with my family.

Wow, Barack Obama [I cried too] is holding his first news conference, he is a speedy guy, so far impressive I think. Dear God please help him be a good president.
