As a kid, I always dreaded this time of year; summer is almost over and that means that it’s time to go back to school. As I grew older, I actually started looking forward to going back to school but I realized that knowledge is power. How could I expect to rule the world if I didn’t have power? Logic would dictate that I must acquire knowledge.
My plans for world domination have since faded and now I’m once again dreading the start of school. Now though it’s not because I want to play baseball and Nintendo all day long with my friends, even though that wold be fun, it’s because I’m just tired of school. I used to joke that I’m on the 10 year plan to get my degree. I’ve been working on it for 9 years now so I guess I switched over to the 20 year plan at some point. If I just had the time to go full-time, I’d be done in a little over a year but with work and family, I have to limit myself. I’ll get there eventually though.

So Halloween this year was pretty good. We started our festivities early in the week with some pumpkin carving. We had five huge pumpkins but a lack of time so only three of them ended up getting carved. Holly decided that it would be fun to do Shrek and I unleashed my inner geek (what’s new?) and did Mario of Super Mario Bros. fame. Emma decided to do an original creation which turned out pretty good. Like every other year, there were lots of dads commenting on how cool our pumpkins were as their kids took our candy.
This year will be known in my mind as the year of the recycled costume idea. Emma decided that she wanted to be a devil, Alex wanted to be a tiger, and Hannah wanted to be a clown. Whether it is dumb luck or just coincidence, we have each of these costumes in the appropriate sizes in our costume box. Everybody was happy and we saved money. You can’t ask for more than that – especially if said costumes yield free candy.
