Our Halloween was much much warmer than it usually is. What a pleasant surprise! Made standing on the sidewalk, waiting for the little ones to run from house to house, much more enjoyable.

Was up to 75 and clear around here on Halloween, but, our kiddos are way past Trick or Treating age.

I've been having a bit of unexplained anxiety lately so I'm cutting out caffeine to see if that helps.

Day 1 8:50 am I've been up for 3 hours. No coffee just a naturally decaffeinated tea. No anxiety but my eyes want to close and I can't stop yawning This will not be easy. Failure imminent?

Keep swimming, keep swimming, keep swimming...

 

[donaldtoo]

Every year, I buy candy to hand out and every year, we aren't home. We both like to take the kids trick or treating. I feel a little guilty about that but I figure when they are older, we will take our turn of sitting at home and handing out the candy. If I could just remember not to buy the treats...lol Oh well, I guess I will just have to eat them. It's a tough job...

Ha! Next year get a supply of baby food and veggies to put in the "parents'" bag. "Here....for the children, a nice chocolate bar, and for mommy and daddy, some celery sticks, and for baby: strained peas!!" It would be fun to see the looks on their faces. They couldn't say you didn't give them anything!

 

[Cesar R M]

I hope you got good results!

way better than before, but still need to heal more.

My god people.... Ten pages to read during my break and I was on this morning

Mostly just more tags to @figmentfan423

 

[donaldtoo]

You know who else has problems with pants? This guy...

Hahaaa...!
That's why my latest avatar gives me the chuckles...
The guy never wears pants, but, then he puts on swim trunks to go to the beach...!!!

 

[StarWarsGirl]

I swear that @StarWarsGirl95 is my twin soul.
I also have that issue. I do not like to party in the loud way.

[donaldtoo]

[StarWarsGirl]

Tagging @figmentfan423...
Tagging @figmentfan423..... :)

My classmates are probably wondering why I am snickering...(don't worry, class hasn't begun yet)

Just for good measure, @figmentfan423

 

[donaldtoo]

I dunno. I can see where everyone is coming from (as with everything else, V-day has been highly commercialized) but I like any excuse to celebrate! Yes, we love each other every day and try hard to show it but it's nice to have nights set aside for just the two of us, especially with three small children. And Valentine's Day is a great excuse to spend that time together. I don't have any real expectations for what it has to be but we typically do go out for a meal and buy each other a card. And I do feel special.

I typically also buy the kids a very inexpensive little gift...usually from the dollar store...and they get a kick out of it. But probably because we don't buy them things other than for special occasions.

And they give out little cards to their classmates, which they find really fun. But they always give one to everyone and seem to get one from everyone.

Yep, that's the way I remember it back in elementary school. Everyone always brought a Valentines Day card for every student in the class.

¿Somos almas gemelas?

Nous sommes des âmes sœurs?

 

[Cesar R M]

Oh my gosh! That's crazy. I would never go outside. I'm such a city girl. Roving packs of disgruntled teens don't scare me one bit but if I came face to face with a wild animal I'd have a heart attack.

technically.. wild animals are more friendly than your average teenager.

 

[Cesar R M]

And he has nice legs, too @donaldtoo.

I'm particularly annoyed at the ridiculous standards set by spongebob.

 

[Cesar R M]

My dh and I have been talking about going the week between Christmas and New Years(2016 into 17) mostly to check out the decorations and resort hop. Are we crazy or do you think we'll have a good time?

I heard from a few friends that MK is not that full, only th 25th is insanely full, then the crowds sort of die, then pick up again as they get near the news years.
then it drops dead.

 

[donaldtoo]

OK gang, time for me to fly and get back to the grind...
Y'all be cool, and have a Magical darn day...!
Laterrrrrrr...!!!

 

[Nick Wilde]

technically.. wild animals are more friendly than your average teenager.

I can confirm this.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Me too. Sounds more formal saying dinner instead of supper.

Growing up my mom called it supper, my dad called it dinner. So confusing to a little kid that just wants food.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I agree, I got a bag of really nice small Yukon gold, just the right size, for portion control. I like a little salt and pepper. I think the flavor of potato's are good enough almost by them selves.

I use Mrs. Dash a lot.
