Whirlwind weekend!

The Frodog and I are home after a VERY busy weekend in Muncie.  When I go up there, I try to leave them in a little bit better shape than when I arrived.  This time, due to the extremely busy nature of what we were trying to do, I only left them in a VERY LITTLE bit better shape! 

Ummm....let's see.  We shopped for costume parts and food, etc.  We were planning for Halloween, "creating" for a church bazaar, planning for Robin's pre-school Halloween party that Meg is helping with, keeping children somewhat entertained and happy, and carving jack-o-lanterns.  There were meals in there, and naps for Ryan, endless laundry...and Nathan worked.

The highlights of the weekend:  *Nathan carved out some low trashy branches between two close cedar trees in their back yard to make a haven that is just child-sized.  The children love it!  *Robin's costume turned out adorable!  It was a hit at their church's Halloween parade.  The dear child has no clue!   *Daddy and Robin and Mommy created jack-o-lanterns out of "pumpins". (Ry-baby was napping.)  *Robin told me I was her "best friend" upon my departure--prompted by her mother.  Never mind!  It was pretty special to me!  My little Ry-Guy gets short shrift sometimes because his sister is so vocal and advanced...but guess what?  So is he!  He talks in large sentences...and his second birthday isn't for another two weeks.  What a sweetie!

I haven't seen Frodie but twice since we got home.  I guess she is as exhausted as I!

I have to teach tomorrow, but I don't have a clue where I am going with it.  For now, I am glad to be home and happy to know that the grandkids will be here tomorrow for trickety-treating.  Gotta love it!
