football, pumpkins and leftovers

Today we’re heading to the Broncos Lions game which starts at 2pm. It’s supposed to be mild but will still be in the 30’s and 40’s in our seats which are in the shade for most of the game. This morning we’re carving pumpkins because tomorrow is the big day and we just won’t have time after school. We have 4 to carve which is 1 less than we had yesterday. Our rancher friends from Encampment Wyoming were down in Brighton ordering up a half a dozen saddles and tack for our friends ranch (where they work) and then came by for some dinner and a visit before making the 3 hour drive back home. The boys were all excited to play with Dali, their 3 year old daughter, but it turns out she stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa who are visiting from Hawaii for a month. Anyhow our oldest decided he’d send 1 of his pumpkins home with them for their little girl. How nice is that! We also sent along a pumpkin and ghost cookie that we bought for her as we thought she’d be here. From Saratoga to Denver (the closest big town to where they live, if you can call Saratoga a big town)  and back in a day, is a long drive.

The boys were outside for most of the day while the misses cleaned up in the morning while I ran some errands. As you know, tomorrow is the big day. There’s a parade in the morning at school, then the kids have parties in their classrooms and once home, it’ll be a rush to get their homework done so they can go trick or treating. I don’t know about you but I can remember vivid details of a lot of Halloweens when I was a kid. They sure are good memories. Let’s play a little game, think back to when you were a kid and let’s all post a comment about your favorite costume. I’ll then include them all tomorrow so we can all see each others favorite memory. Don’t let me down now, it’s not hard to post at all. If you need help or just can’t do it, call us and tell us your favorite and we’ll get it in.

The oldest is still sleeping while the youngest is reading the toy catalog’s that came in the morning paper. I’m going to sign off now as I need another cup of joe to offset the few adult beverages I had last night. I might try to get to the gym as well as I haven’t been in a while. Hope you all are doing well, let’s hear from you on your costume, I know you all have one! Take care and God Bless,
