oh what a beautiful mornin'

Oh what a beautiful mornin', Oh what a beautiful day. This is my most favorite musical of all time and I can often be heard singing this song on any sunny morning. Today is definitely one of those mornings, I mean, mornin's, the weather is absolutely stunning! AND it's Friday AND it's a four day weekend because of UEA. I love Fridays, I'm looking forward to getting a lot done this weekend and Rich is even taking Monday off to do something fun as a family, I'm so excited. This morning started early with the anticipation of our elementary school's annual Halloween Parade. The sixth grade puts on a fantastic spook alley with planning that starts during the first week of school! Allie has been looking forward to this since she was in third grade, so we took her make up and hair very seriously this morning. She was part of the huanted High School Musical group which rose from the dead to dance a huanted dance. Dance? Yup, that's what dead people do you know, didn't you ever see Thriller? So, lots of hairspray, teasing and a little bit of baby powder and we came up with this...yuck. The zombie eyes she made for the picture are a nice touch though.The spook alley really was great, I wish I could take better pictures in the dark, a third grader in front of me screamed when a bug dropped in front of her. The truth is, I'm glad it was her and not me, if the bug had fallen on me I would've done more than scream, probably taken out a few little kids during my sprint for the exit. Seriously, I hate bugs. When I got home, Ethan did a little happy dance when he saw me (he was home with Rich who was babysitting the heating guy) and then hugged me so tight I remembered why I wanted another baby so baddly, I love these kinds of moments, they are a mom's thank you. We played play dough the rest of the morning, he is particularly fond of poking holds in the play dough shapes and wearing them like rings. We made the bed, wiped down my bathroom and did some laundry. We are home bound today because the heating guy is here (you remember plumber crack guy, I'm soooo tempted to go down there and snap a picture!) fixing our heat YAY! I did escape for a few minutes to make a run to Target, I need to blog some time about why I love this place so much. I found these beauties with cute seals to match, in the stationery aisle, don't they just scream GOOD MAIL! I can't wait to use them...very me.Before Taylor left for the Jr. High Halloween dance, I snapped a few pics of him. Can you guess what he is? A chick magnet. Is he cute or what? Beautiful mornin', beautiful day.
