The Sorting Hat Has Spoken

It's Official

Bob's Godmother, Aunt Jen, has made Bob's Halloween costumes every year with the exception of the lost year of Han Solo '10.
She created The Pumpkin.
The Cowboy.
The Triceratops.
And of course, The Bee.
And now... this year:
Harry Potter.

Happy Halloween.

Bob's kind of Jack O'Lanterns.

Are you guys on Pinterest? I am. Too much. Too often. Follow me there, if you'd like. I'm probably there right now.

Thanks to my friend Jen for sharing this with me. It's just fun.

Spooky Sunday to you.

(It's all about picking the best one.)

Another Good Idea

When we told Bob that we would have to get up at 4:30am to go to the airport, he replied that he would be sleeping in his clothes. He wasn't kidding.

Just Smile and Keep Moving

Our neighbor Miss Olga was outside turning on her sprinklers as Bob and I rounded the corner. I waved.

"Hey, Mom? She's a very, very, very old lady and she can still walk!"

"She can still hear too, Bob."

"Oh yeah. Hi Miss Olga!"

Sound Advice

"Mom? The other guys weren't being nice to Jason at school today."

"What happened?"

"They said they didn't want to play with him and then he looked sad like he was going to cry."

"Then what happened?"

"I went over to Jason and I said, 'Walk away, Jason. Just walk away.'"

"That's good advice honey."

"Yeah, he walked away. We played. There was no crying."

Big Ideas

"Mom? When are we leaving for Las Vegas?"

"Were not going to Las Vegas, Bob. We're going to Texas."

"When?"

"Friday."

"What about Las Vegas?"

"What about it?"

"When are we going there?'

"We're not."

"Never?"

"I don't know about never but not this week."

"Why?"

"We never said anything about Las Vegas. We're going to Texas. We've always been going to Texas. "

"Mom?"

"Yeah?"

"You should consider Las Vegas."
