No shows for Trick or Treat?

So, we were all ready for trick or treat tonight. We put Luke in his costume to show grandma and bubka, but when 5:00 rolled around...no kids. We thought, well maybe it will be a little later, let the kids around the corner get candy from their neighboring houses. 5:15...no kids. 5:30...no kids. 6:00...no kids! At this point we are looking up and down the street to see if anyone else had their lights on...NO! Jason went to the nearest side street to see if anyone was trick or treating there...NO! Now, we got a little slip of paper, twice, that said that T o T was supposed to be on Oct. 29 from 5:00 to 7:00. Where were the kids? I don't know, but I sure hope they show up on Tuesday or I'm gonna be really fat from the 6 bags of candy that I bought. Oh, and I didn't get a picture of Lucas in his costume, he wouldn't stand still long enough.

I can't post without adding pictures. Here are some recent ones!

It's trick or treat today. It should be a lot of fun. Lucas is going as Fred Flintstone. I will show pictures once he gets home from Nan and Pop's. Nothing else is really new. My job is going well. I just have to figure out the correct way to make sure that I can get days off. I was planning a weekend in Georgia with Marco next weekend and I have to work because someone didn't get my request to have that weekend off. It kinda sucks. Oh well. I didn't get tickets in time either so it would have been a little expensive to fly anyway. I made Ava a costume too though. She was going to be Wilma Flintstone. It would have been so cute! She was a chicken for her daycare Halloween party though. Marco said she was really cute! I just wish that I could see her. They are coming home for Thanksgiving so I will get to then.

So, this is my new hat. I made these cakes! Pretty cool huh? The one of the tiki dude was for our friend's son Cade's birthday and the Superman cakes were for Luke's birthday. The little one is the one he tore into. Anyway, I just thought I'd put them out here. All free handed in icing. I kind of like this whole baking thing. It's kinda fun! OOOh! and I found a recipe for bakery icing (my favorite!) so I don't have to buy it for $5.00 a pint at the store!

Jason found Lucas chilling out in this box one night. He was just watching TV. What a weird kid.

We just got back from Notre Dame yesterday. We had a great time! Lucas had fun playing with a football all weekend. I think it's his favorite toy right now. He threw a huge fit when I tried to make him leave it outside last night. I gave in...he got the football. I guess there are worse things to give in to. I got a job! I'm working at Jo-Ann Fabrics in the Home Decor department starting on Wednesday. It's was the quickest interview and hiring that I think I've ever been to. I was hired within 10 minutes of being there...not bad! They just couldn't resist, ya know? (hee, hee!) Anyway, things are good here! Enjoy the pictures!
