First off, I realize I(Dana) am a complete dolt (big surprise). I realized this afternoon that I had my musicals mixed up this morning. True, I was in "Annie" (Freshman year). But, the horse race scene is in "My Fair Lady" (Sophomore year). Oops. Sorry!

As you can see, the girls Carly (Minnie Mouse) and Bria (the Pumpkin) were adorable on Halloween!

Finally, I am rather bothered by these "Christians" that are picketing at military funerals. It makes me so angry that they are expressing the Christian faith with such hate - and making all Christians look bad. For more on this story check out the Tribune.

The Carrigan girls (me included) have been spending a few days with Grandma and Grandpa Ferris while Daddy Carrigan is away. Last night, the girl cousins Sydney and Elana came over to play and make Halloween cookies. Carly was only interested in eating them, however!

Halloween pictures coming tomorrow!

This weekend, watching "The Village" from M. Night Shyamalan was the extent of our Halloween celebration. That's as spooky as we get - usually, our tradition is to watch a Hitchcock movie and drink hot cider. Maybe next weekend.

Carly was fascinated by a commercial for (ahem!) feminine products -they'll make anything look exiting.

Go Pink Ladies! Make me proud!

10.24 Recap

Apple picking was a bust! Way too cold and windy! So we bought some pre-picked apples and headed to Grandma's house.

So, Carly and I were talking about what "Fall" is. I said, "It's when the leaves turn orange," and pointed to one. We were in the van and happened to be passing a soybean field. She says, "Look, Mom - the grass is turning orange, too!"

10.23 Recap

Lunch at El Campesino was fantabulous!

Tonight was bathnight - what could be more fun than that?! And tonight we discovered Bria has a love of soul music!

Today I have lunch with Bethany Knight, lovely wife to our alustrious station manager.

Tomorrow: apple picking! I'll take the girls and meet up with my husband's sister and her crew of 4 girls: Emma, Gwennie, Tegan & Julia.
