Halloween Catch-up

I apologize for the lack of updating. I'll do my best with this post. I've had a rather embarassing accident involving me trying to roll-start my car, and my finger getting smashed between the open car door and the stucco entry-way of the garage. It hard for me to type. BUT the cool thing is that my cast resembles a gun in dim lighting. Also, being an invalid gives me a bit of extra time to do stuff like post on our blog!



Man, I have got to work on my mean face.

Dave has been working at SkyWest. Last year he transferred from his position at the airport down to the corporate offices to work in the graphics department and has been enjoying his job. I've finally started taking classes at DSC again. Our deal was that I'd go back to school when Dave was finished, but since it's been a few years since we made that deal and he now has the same amount of classes left as he did back then, we decided I'd go back and we'd finish together. Maddie, School, and the occasional shift cover at Great Harvest have been keeping me pretty busy. School has been stressing me out, but I try to remind myself how much I ached to be in school last year and that gives me the perspective I need to keep at it.

Maddie continues to be a tremendous cutie pie. She's still a chatter-box, but she now says a good amount of real words along with the incomprehensible ones. She will often pretend to be Kiki (the young witch from one of her favorite movies) while pretending to mount a broomstick, or walk around the house in my heels and proclaim "I'n Mommee!".

We bought a generically cute fairy costume for her to wear on Halloween but she refused to let us put it on her for cubicle trick-or-treating at Dave's office. Instead she carried the frilly thing around with her fairy wand and treat bag, wearing only green tights and a shirt.



Later in the evening we bribed her with candy and she let us put it on her so we could trick-or-treat the most festive house in the neighborhood.



Maddie and her cousin Elyza palled around in various displays of cuteness for most of the evening.

I don't know how you typed all of that only one-handed.. I'm impressed! Also, your picture of you with your finger-cast on looks very mysterious, very spy-like... you're so cute!
