PhoneBoy Says

This evening, I was planning to go to bed a little earlier than now. Unfortunately, real life kicked in around midnight or so and I had to help my wife clean up my daughter's bed--she lost her dinner (and possibly lunch) all over it. Right now, she's asleep on mommy. The sheets, blankets, jammies, and a Tigger are in the dryer after having been through the wash.

Meanwhile, I need to get to bed. I have to go play IT guy tomorrow at my mother-in-law's office and I've got a long drive ahead of me. Maybe I'll take a trip over to Frys when I'm done, since I'll be in the neighborhood.

W'eve always had a fairly small turnout of trick-or-treaters in ther past, but this year was small even by our usual standards. Maybe 20 kids or so at the most as on about 7:45pm. I suppose the freezing temperatures outside and the fact that houses are closer together elsewhere in the neighborhood probably have something to do with the low turnout.

Next year, the road outside our house that leads out of the neighborhood should be open. Surprised it's not open now given that it's basically done. That should increase the turnout for Halloween, since a lot of the surrounding neighborhoods come into our neighborhood to trick or treat.

Meanwhile, my wife is taking Jaden around to trick or treat. Gracie did a little, but she's too little to do much of it. It's also freezing outside, so there's some motivation to keep her in. She's watching The Wiggles while we wait for trick or treaters, though I'll be surprised if anyone else shows up tonight.

What a difference a week makes in terms of temperature around these parts…

Since my Finland trip, I've been going to bed a lot earlier. It might have something to do with an affirmation I've been working on, but certainly, earlier to bed has meant "earlier to rise" as well. Speaking of early to bed…. Zzzzzz

Mass hysteria ensues.

Or what I previously titled "Meet the Gord Family."

She's there somewhere…
