First Snow!

This will be short, since I'm still coming out of the haze after getting a wisdom tooth dug out. Hopefully it will be coherent, too, but if it's not just look at the pretty pictures. Tooth came out fine, just having a hard time with the recovery period. It still hurts too much to go without drugs, but the ones they gave me are REALLY strong and I'm getting sick of being a zombie all day. So far today I've avoided the pain pills, but I don't know that I'll make it much longer. Starting to eat slightly more appealing food again, but still can't have any of the good stuff. God I want a pizza!
In other news - First snow of the year! We actually got an inch or so a couple days ago, which melted, but last night we got about four inches and now it's coming down again. We all got out for a little bit this morning to play in the perfect packing snow. Kirsi was more concerned than anything else, but Jimmy and Molly were thrilled. I'm losing brain power, so I'm just going to put up some pictures and sign off.
Oh, and before anybody panics - NO we didn't get a new kitten! That's one of Nana's foster babies, just about 5 weeks old. Jim's very sweet with them, and the littlest one decided he made a great bed!

The Floor Show & Halloween

Sorry it's been awhile between posts - the computer has been getting moved around while we work on our big project. Dad gave us the world's most awesome early Christmas present - brand spankin' new laminate floors! Squee!! They're absolutely gorgeous, and the house smells 100% better now that those nasty carpets are out of here! This should make it SO much easier to sell the house.
The Friday before Halloween I went to Scarywood (the Silverwood theme park runs as a haunted park all through October) and got the pants scared off of me several times. I had a blast, even though some of it was really hair-raising. Adrenaline rushes were plentiful. The Blood Bayou haunted house was really terrifying, the zombie train was hilarious, and I rode the Tremors roller-coaster in the dark, which was mind-numbingly scary. Not to mention hard on the neck *ow* They run one of the other coasters backwards in the dark, but after Tremors I didn't think my neck or my nerves could handle that.
The kids had a great Halloween too! Jimmy stayed out trick-or-treating for a LONG time, and got a pretty respectable haul of candy. He loved his tarantula/skullface costume! Kirsi vetoed the trick-or-treating, but had fun hanging out at Aunt Mary's house with the women:) She ate candy, cuddled the stuffed bat that Nana gave her, and made herself adorable.
Hope you all had a great scary night too!
