Happy Halloween all, it has been very Potter-ish around here! I did not get a photo of our "HP/Deathly Hallows" Jack-o-lantern, but here are Abby and Mina in costume, (that would be Ginny and Arnold the pygmy-Puff). The picture does not really show the tie, headband and co-ordinating nailpolish, the wand or the robe. But, you get the idea. Mina's fluffy vest is rather simple, but it was a last minute costume switch (she was going to be a skeleton until Abby decided she should be a pygmy-puff. Luckily, Mina was more than happy to agree.) Abby spent much time trying to get Mina to sit on her shoulder. There was also a themed dinner, with mashed potato ghosts, orange/purple jello, and deviled eye-balls. And I hand piped no less than 60 gingerbread skeletons for the class parties. This stay at home mom stuff is getting really fun, now that I am not in agony. Sadly, only 2 weeks left then it will be back to work for me. I always thought I would go insane if I did not get to work, but it turns out that this is not the case. I am actually really enjoying this. Alas. Now I know what I am missing.
Also pictured is Mina's first day of school, and mom baking bread with the girls. They had a great time! Clearly, I will never get a commercial kitchen license, as our baking practises are rather unhygenic. I have no idea why Mina has no clothes on. I was in a post surgical daze, that is my excuse.
