Halloween 2006 ...

Mason on Halloween

Photo-A-Day #571 10/31/06

Tonight Allison and I went to visit Amy and Ryan and Mason for Halloween. Mason is the coolest kid. He’s so full of energy (could have been the sugar last night) and he was so excited for Halloween. He would run to the door every time someone came trick or treating and shout “Halloween” or “Happy Halloween” or some version there of.

We brought over some cookies that you could color on for Mason. He and I colored at the table in between knocks at the door. The color cookies were pretty neat, they came with markers that had food coloring in them and you could color in the black and white image. I had as much fun as Mason did.

Then it was time for Amy, Ryan and Mason to go trick or treating. Mason was a Doctor and even had a custom made lab coat (courtesy of Amy’s Mom) that had his nametag and everything. He had the Fisher Price doctor’s kit and he was on his way. Ryan came home from work and was in his suit so it looked like he was the young doctor’s lawyer. Allison, Jen, Amy’s mom and I manned the door for trick or treaters while they were gone. Amy’s mom told us a ghost story about the missing Bobby from the photos. (Not sure if it was meant as a ghost story but turned out to sound like one) Allison was still a little freaked out when we drove home. I don’t blame her that was freaky.

After Ryan, Amy and Mason came back we had some pizza, watched the wonderpets and then Mason went to sleep. Ryan and I played Marvel’s Ultimate Alliance on X-Box while the girls played some board games in the dining room. They sounded like they were having a ball. Ryan and I had our butts handed to us by Mephisto (sp). It was a good time, I even got dressed up.

Lame, but it cost nothing and took 2 minutes to make.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

  Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
