Why am I always so happy when it's over? I am. Especially this year, since Jenna was freaked out about anything even remotely scary. She even decided on Friday night, at 3 a.m. no less, that she was NOT going trick or treating. Nightmares woke her up again, and she came in and gave me the news. Poor thing. Then I agonized all day yesterday whether I should make her go, or let it go. Bill and I talked and agreed that she should at least make her way around the court, knowing the neighbors would like to see her. We told her, and right away she agreed. I figured if she didn't go out of fear, that fear would just grow, and I didn't want that.
So here is a picture of she and daddy heading out. Note the fake smile?
She went around the court, and headed home to pass out candy. Sat on the front porch passing it out for about 20 minutes, and decided she wanted to trick or treat some more. YIPPEE!!! She came back and Bill was grinning from ear to ear. He explained that there was a house decorated really scary, and Jenna stopped right in front of it. Bill explained to her she could skip the scary house. Apparently she looked up at him and said, "Dad, I HAVE to do this." Rock on, my girl. Way to face those fears. The first thing she said this morning though, was "Hurray, Halloween is over!" Like mother, like daughter I guess. I'm proud of her!
Here are some Halloween layouts for Fancy Pants Designs. They were on the blog this week.
Speaking of FP, have you seen their new releases? One is called Frosted and the other is Vintage Valentine. Cool, huh?
Here are some random things from the last two weeks.
- Last weekend I hosted the October birthday parties. My girl is 23!!!! How the heck did that happen?
- Pulled something in my neck last weekend. Laid around writhing in pain for three days. Good times, this getting older business.
- Went on another field trip with the MHS photography club. Man, are they talented!!!
- Taught Elements the last two Thursdays. FUN group of students. Love it when everything works out well! Decided I may teach Lightroom next. I'm ready for a new class, and developing the class will help me learn more about the program.
- Another busy week ahead. But good busy. Fun busy.
- Jenna had her last soccer game yesterday. She had such a great coach this season, and a great season. She is becoming quite the defensive player. But boy oh boy was it cold for her last game. I mean bitter cold. And Jenna got a ginormous chocolate bar which was the highlight of her season. LOL!
