We survived halloween again. craig and I didn't really dress up this year (gasp! I know!) but the boys picked Pokemon as the theme and if you are at all familiar with that 'verse you know there are not a lot of adults. and we didn't feel like being Team Rocket. So I hung a couple of Poke-balls from my belt loops and craig wore a lab coat and went as Professor Oak.
the boys really had a good time; they just wanted a "serious" photo. whatever:

some bits of Helena that we explored.
Connor: Is it safe to go through there?
Me: Of course. Dad wouldn't take us through if it wasn't safe.
Sharon: Oh, right, HA!
Me: What?
Sharon: Dad isn't allergic to poison oak. You should ask the Cunningham boys how safe it is to "follow Dad" someday.
I'm sure she appreciates me sharing.

this plum tree is about 7 feet from my parent's back door, it's top leaves here level with the upper deck. This is what it looked like on Friday.
there was a constant "piff, whiffle" of leaves falling all weekend.

I made the trip north last week in two segments; thursday night and friday morning. I am happy to report that Van was amazing in the car. More than 20 hours driving total and he was fussy for maybe a total of 30 minutes. Thank heaven for small miracles.
So we finally arrive and Mom's at work so I'm visiting with my sisters and I hear after awhile, my own voice (but slightly sweeter) coming from the living room and I pop out of the kitchen saying, "mom! you're home!"
Does she even look at me?
Grandpa was determined the next day to get us all out of doors for the day so the kids didn't all congregate around a video game ("kids" referring to both his and mine. I'm not sure when I'll stop referring to my sisters as kids - it may never happen). We explored a "ghost town", and then went down to the Helena swim hole.

while I am trying to get a photo of the finished quilt and organizing my photos from the trip back home, please enjoy the "Twisted Princesses" series by a Disney artist:
sigh. I love Halloween time. It means it's almost Christmastime....
