november?!

How in the hayull is it already November?  I imagine I say that every year.  It's just that every year I seem to say it even faster than the year before. Sigh.


And it seems with each passing day/week/month, Eileen ages tenfold.  She is so very much fun. So entertaining, happy, smart, spunky, sassy.  I don't want time to move forward.

So Halloween has come & gone. We managed to fit in just about every possible Fall Activity.. pumpkin patch/corn maze, pumpkin party, school trip to different pumpkin patch, school party, and of course, Trick or Treating.  Josh &  Sarah came over, as did Lani & Syd.  Does two years in a row make it a tradition? I say yes. And can't wait for it to keep on going. 

Trick or treating was great.  Before the night started, we realized we didn't have the wig. It was at Josh & Sarah's. And what is blueberry muffin without her wig?!  So Bill went to get Josh at his office; planning to get the wig & do a couple of quick errands & then get back to our house. 


An hour plus passes, Lani & Syd arrive. Shortly after Josh & Bill arrive. 
Me: oh hi. good the wig. thanks. 
Bill: yep. no worries.
Me: did you get to make the returns & run by pharmacy?
Bill: Nah, we didn't get to it.
Me: sheesh. you guys were gone all that time and all you did was get to Josh's & back?
Bill : yeah, crazy traffic. 

Me: Oh.  and then i got distracted by who knows what....


Fast forward 30 minutes. Eileen now in costume. She & Syd bolt outside to find Bella & Ryan to get moving on the Trick or Treating. Lani/Me/Sarah/Bill/Josh (and of course Gracie) head out as well. 


Sarah: the wig looks good. did you guys give it a trim or something?
Me: Nah. Eileen & Syd must have done something to it.




................< insert slightly odd & awkward silence >.....................................

Josh: OH OK OK fine!!! Full disclosure. Me & Bill couldn't find the wig! so we went to Party City & bought a new one! .........


Lanie, Me & Sarah:  mouths open. look at each other. dumbfounded.  


Seriously. These two goobers didn't want to get busted on a blueberry muffin wig, so they conspired to go get a new  one, but not tell us.  Other men might have grabbed a beer, watched a movie, played video games. 

Not Josh & Bill. They didn't want to disappoint Mini-Me (nor did they want to get in trouble with the mommies).. so they got a new wig & attempted to be all secretive about it.  How can you not love them to death?!
<--- note. after all their trouble.. about five houses in to the T&T.. the wig was off. It was too hot & itchy.

So, at that point, as one would expect.. Lani donned the Blue Wig of Conspiracy! ------------------------------------->


So, all in all.. October rocked.  I saw loads of pictures today of all kinds of costumes and dressed up people (as in, adult people).  So I'm making it my mission to get invited to a Halloween Party next year and coming up with super cool costumes for me and Bill.  So if you're out there reading this, please add us to your guest list.
