At home with the dude today!

Yesterday saw us putting the finishing touches to our costumes.  I suppose we have just a little more to do.  Tomorrow night we are going to do a dry run of how we'll look.  My mom went through her mom's old costume jewlery and found some rings and a necklace for me to wear.  She also found some glitter that I was looking for.  I am going to put glitter on all parts of my skin showing, as well as in my hair.  My make-up will be a gold smokey eye and I can't wait.  Going to just make my hair wavy and let it stay down.  I guess I still need to decide if I want to be a particular goddess and figure out how to make it apparent which one it is I am.  Andrew will wear a white button up shirt with a vest, nice black pants, and a cloak.  My mom found a couple of roses that we need to figure out how to attach to his vest.  We'll slick his hair back-and I just can't wait because he is going to be so freakin sexy.

Andrew and I picked out our pumpkins, two each, and Logan got three tiny pumpkins to paint.  Next Sunday we will have a pumpkin party and decorate.  It's going to be awesome.  I have several days off this week, which means not a lot of money, but it also means more time to get things done that I want to.  I have been feeling more motivated to be productive on several different things.  Cleaning for one.  I also have been thinking of how to plan out my book for NaNoWriMo and will start writing an outline today.  I took a little long to do it, but I'm happy that I am still doing better than last year.  I want this to be a success.  I also think I will work some on my poetry so that when I find a place to send some, I will be ready and won't feel like I have to rush to get something ready. 

Logan is with me and right now he is coloring.  He has been so cute.  He loves to pretend he's a puppy, and he will rub his face and head on mine to show he loves me.  It's adorable.  He keeps wanting to play outside, but the weather today is definitely acting much more like fall than it has been.  I'm not ready to feel cold yet.  At some point I guess I better take him outside, though, or he'll lose his mind.

Also-it is several months away, but I never think about it in time...if anybody has suggestions on cheapish birthday party ideas for Logan, that would be wonderful.  He will be four on Jan. 26th.  Someone has suggested having it at a firestation.  The firemen talk to the kids about the engines and they get to look in them I guess.  I don't know weather it costs.  The problem is, everyone we know is in Greeley, who would be coming anyway, and we live in Windsor.  Huh.  Maybe I don't care.  It's not a long drive.  We could have something at home, I guess.  Maybe it's time to invite the family along with all of his daycare friends.  It would be the first time we host something like that.  Intense.  And super awesome.  You know what?  I think that's what I want to do.  Just have to think up a theme.  Well.  I've rambled on long enough.  Have a great day everybody!
