Strep and Halloween

Goodness, it's been a little while and that shouldn't have happened. The Plague, AKA Strep, hit the house, and that took me out for awhile. I took B down with me. I'm awesome like that. C avoided it *somehow* and my mom who is visiting has shown no signs of the Good Ship Strepipop pulling up to the dock yet. So, back to normal life we return. C will be celebrating her third Halloween this year! First Halloween she was a kitty cat; second a butterfly. This year, she will be a ... Garden Fairy Princess! Yes, this is what happens when Mommy says, "That cat costume is cool," and Daddy takes one look at the selection and (almost) squeals, "That fairy costume is perfect for her!" Some things you have to let Daddy win. I'm sad to report that I'm getting my butt kicked in Words with Friends; actually, it's about 50/50. Some people are so competitive; I love to play to build words. So whether you win or lose against me, I'm always having fun. Lame, but true. I need a good recipe for caramel apples; I'm off to search!
