Howdy!

Yup, still here. I do apologize for the absence, I just haven't had much blog time for the last few days. I did get a chance to read a few on Monday, but Blogger was down so I couldn't comment.

Our weekend was quiet, we took the bikes out, did some shopping and taught Sunday School. We did attend a new church small group, it definitely has potential, which is nice since we had to give up our old group because they meet during Elena's "witching" hour.

I got some serious progress made on Kathryn's Halloween costume. It's a bit big, thank you McCalls for your totally unrealistic sizing. I measured Kathryn, and I am pretty sure I still remember how I was taught in costuming class, and according to the pattern she's almost a size 12. When she heard me say that, she says "But I have size 0 jeans and they fit!" Before you have a fit, remember she is 13! Well, I know that pattern sizes have absolutely no relation to the real world, so I cut a 12. It's close to 2 sizes too big. Ah well, it's not falling off, its comfortably roomy. I will post pictures when I am done.

Oh, and Elena learned how to undo "child-proof" latches this weekend. Yup, she opens the cabinet and then grabs the latch, pulls it down and opens the cabinet. Two different brands of latches, too! I am very glad that we listened to my mom and put all of the cleansers up high. The cabinet she is so determined to get into contains cat food.

I don't foresee much else that is blog worthy until the weekend. We're going to the Renaissance Festival with friends and that should net a few billon pictures and at least a couple of anecdotes. Peace, love & lollipops!
