A Good Sunday

We had a really good Sunday.  I actually just mispelled good and put "We had a really God Sunday".....that would definitely work too. 

I have been missing my dad....and his passing has made me take a new look at how I am spending my time.....and what my kids will remember about Rainman and I.

Anyway, we had a great morning at church, came home....looked through, and decided on, Halloween costumes.

Then, I got the kids started on getting their pumpkins cleaned out and asked them to finalize their designs....

S-Girl is thinking really hard about how she wants hers decorated...

I think it is funny that S-Girl is mimicing L-Girl's expression.

V-girl very excited about her "punka"

I got them started and, since Rainman wasn't at work, I went off to....take a nap!  

Apparently, I wasn't the only one with that great idea.....

This is our basement steps.  Now, just so you know, I had asked her to come lay down with me.  I read her 4 or 5 books and when we were done, she said she wanted to go see Daddy.  So, I said, okay and off she went.  She closed my door....popped her head back in to say, "Bye, mom....I wub you!"

I heard her go down to Rainman and then I fell asleep.  When I got up, he said, look at this and showed me this picture on the camera.  He said she told him she was going down in the basement to see L-Girl....and a little bit later L-Girl came up and said that there was a lump on the stairs and brought him to see her....

 I know Kandi....which is better though....a kid who actually goes to her bed and sleeps....or one who will sleep, literally, anywhere......except her bed???

While I was sleeping, lots got done....

I finished up V-girl's "punka" when I got up, and, here they are....

Harry Potter

And, Voldemort.

Notice, he is making bunny ears with both hands....

S-Girl's pumpking is throwing up....

We also had a rousing game of wiffle ball in the front yard.  I was cheerleader and V-girl was the drink deliverer....

S-Girl was designated runner.

We came inside and had a serious game of Monopoly.  The funny thing (to me anyway) was that early in the game, Rainman was heavily criticizing L-Girl's strategy....

Any guesses who the big winner was?

Yup.....L-Girl!
