Ballad of Fuck All

My back decided to go numb right in the middle the other day for absolutely no reason.  I thought, Hey, that's weird and annoying, and didn't think anything else of it.  

Sometimes when people get really stressed out, their bodies do weird things like that.  

Then today I woke up and couldn't walk.  

This just won't do.  

Tomorrow is Halloween, 
Friday Rhiannon is having a bonfire 
and Saturday the Mister is having some stupid man-party.  

My back needs to cut it out.
Now.

On Saturday our neighbors threw a huge Halloween party.  Every neighbor on the block was there and we were meeting them all at the same time.  

I went as this.

The Mister was super embarrassed of me.

(He did not dress up.  I told him I was going to tell everyone that he was going as a "Stick in the Mud".)

BUT.....I won the best costume award.

(TAKE THAT stupid stick in the mud Mister,)

They had THE BIGGEST bonfire I'd ever seen.

We learned that our neighbors really like :

Guns

Drinking 

the Blackhawks

We have one thing in common.  

I will let you figure out what it is.

AND my makeup held up really well!  I thought for sure I'd look like a hot mess by the end of the night.....especially since I had a ridiculous amount of tequila.

(This is seriously what nightmares are made of.)

 Happy Humpday.  

Bengtson's

Every year we go to a pumpkin patch with the girls. 

 This year we went to Bengstons.  

It was by far my favorite Pumpkin patch and one that I felt, for the first time, was worth the money.  

With the exception of the camel and pony rides, everything was included in the admission price.

Including this awesome ride.

I even got my teenager to participate in the ridiculousness.

(That is no small feat!)

Here, Clara is SUPER happy about going on a camel ride.

Rhiannon is not.  

At all.

This is a zombie man puking.  

It was disturbing.  

Rhiannon loved it, of course.

They also had:

A fun *scary barn
a real scary barn
a petting zoo
about 5 different rides
Tons of delicious food
pig races
a band
a giant slide
a corn box
a play place
hay rack rides
and of course, tons of huge awesome pumpkins.

If you have kids, or like doing the pumpkin patch thing, I highly recommend Bengtson's!

Happy Monday!

This Must Be The Place

Our first day home together. 

  It has been over a week, and the Mister and I are surprised at how much we don't hate it here.

Actually, we are on cloud nine on how good it feels to be home.

Our new adventure begins now.
I have nothing but the highest hopes for all of us.
