Happy Birthday, Halloween, Crap-Fest, Scout Spoiler

My Trick-or-Treat girls...our little chicken will be a fluffy bunny tonight for the outdoor candy free-for-all...kind of chilly here in the mid-west.

It also happens to be my husband's birthday today - can you imagine, what a cool day to celebrate a birthday! Getting all dressed up, getting candy - plus a cake - plus presents? Nice. He declined to have a photo on the blog - so in light of the "crappy" day we have had - I will honor his request. You see our eldest DD came into our bedroom at 1:15am to inform that our darling dog had an accident on the floor - so our planned afternoon off of work of lunch and movies switched up to an afternoon of carpet cleaning and floor scrubbing - after an early morning rendevous of the same sans the rented carpet machine. Good stuff. But thankfully, our dog is the best so he shall be forgiven once his banishment to the garage ends post-cha cha. I know, too much information - but to truly appreciate the day I have had - well, you need details. *giggle*



On a good, no great note - got my Scout Swag today - shee-ya, it's gorgeous *happy dance* I think it may be the best so far. The colors make me think of apples and pears, a spicy fall palette. Also included was a pattern by Lisa Shobhana, famed author of Yarnplay. And Elemm from Knitter's Uncensored graciously wrote up a chart. Another for the queue. Gosh, fellow Ravelers, how big is your queue?
