Halloween is right around the corner...

ok, so it's like 5 days away.  Do you know how hard it is to think up a costume for your kid?  And me, being the type A personality that I am, has to have her kid in a non-store bought costume.  A costume that (a) either no one else will be wearing or (b) at least no other kid in his class of 12 will be wearing. Thanks to Claire, he now has a homemade costume.  I bought a pattern off E-Bay and I also bought glasses to go with it, but the glasses were way to big for my kid's 10th percentile head.  I ended up finding ones at the dollar store - for, you guessed it, $1.00.  So what if they are +3.50 strength reading glasses.  That just means my kid will be walking around cross-eyed all night.  It's alright, I'll be there to hold his little hand and guide him from door to door.  This actually works out in my favor as he won't be able to see the candy I am taking + eating from his stash.  Come on, give me credit, I am not THAT bad. We took the lenses out.  I can't wait until Halloween to post pics of him in his costume.  I still have a few finishing touches to add before it's ready and I also have to make him a prop that goes along with his costume.  Big shout out to my friend, Brianne, for coming up with the idea.

What else can I report?  Oh, we are selling our house and it's officially on the market.  So, if you know anyone who wants to live in the Uptown area of New Orleans, within walking distance of Audubon Park and near Tulane University - tell them to email me.  I just might have the house for them.

And of course, I cannot end this post without adding some recent (last Thursday) photos I took of my little boy.

  

Every Thursday, when Fletcher is home from school, we listen to music and dance around the house. Here he is, raising the roof...

I can't view the photos, there might be a problem with the link. But anyway, what was moving out like? It seems you're not as attached to your house as some people are.
