I’ve been up at my sister-in-law’s since last Friday, hence no new psosts. Been kinda busy…LOL. Everyone went to bed early tonight so I have a chance to type. 
We left Friday evening (the 14th) around 7:30. ‘K’ was not feeling so good (throwing up earlier in the day) and ended up throwing up a few times during the 3 hour trip. We brought a bowl….coming prepared always helps.
We arrived at Crystal’s about 11:00. ‘J’ slept for a few hours and then left for home about 3:00 am. (He doesn’t have a week off of work like ‘G’ has off of school.)
Saturday and Sunday we stayed home (at Crystal’s) as her husband had the car and was down in Grass Valley (our hometown) for the weekend. He got back earlier than expected on Sunday. Crystal had a couple other friends over (with their kids…about the ages of ours). She was planning on having a small Halloween party this week, since we won’t be up visiting for Halloween. Since the same friends she invited were already here and her husband got home early, we decided to have the party that night. Since ‘G’ didn’t have a costume (’K’s we ordered, but Crystal had something for him to wear for the party) we went to Wal-Mart. Can you imagine 4 women and 6 kids running around? 
‘G’ found his costume…a grim reaper, and I found another witches hat (the one I bought last year got left at home…though I did bring my dress). I also found a neat sheer spider-webby hooded cloak that would look awesome over my dress and matched the hat…which was spider-webby, too. I was done. Once everyone got what they needed we headed back home.
We got dressed up (except ‘K’ who didn’t want to), had dinner, the kids got to decorate some cookies and munch on candy. The 3 of us got to drink a little and dance around…making fools of ourselves in front of the kids. Good thing was….they didn’t care…LOL! 
May have pictures to post later.
Monday night Crystal’s husband watched the boys and she and I went to see The Fog. I’ve seen the original, she hasn’t. It was done really well for a re-make. We both really liked it. Afterwards we went to Blockbuster and rented The Amityville Horror re-make, a movie we’d never heard of called High Tension and Robots for the boys. We watched Amityville after the kids went to bed. I must say, I was disappointed with that one. It was a lot different from the original….a little too much like the more modern horror films like The Ring and The Grudge.
Tuesday afternoon we went to a pumpkin patch. We rode a tractor-pulled wagon around, I took ‘G’ through the corn-field maze, and the boys picked out pumpkins. I had a cold that day, so while it was fun, I was kind of feeling miserable.
We stayed home Wednesday…as now Crystal had a cold and wasn’t feeling too well. We watched Lost and Invasion on tv….and once all the kids were asleep, popped in that other movie. We didn’t know it was foreign until the girls started talking with French accents. It was a gruesome hacker/slasher movie….and really rather weird. Not so much scary as creepy.
Didn’t do much on Thursday…..I was feeling better, but Crystal wasn’t. After her husband got home, she and I went to to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. Watched tv and here I am…typing out my week thus far while everyone’s asleep.
And now it is time to say good-night. My thoughts go out to those in hurricane Wilma’s path.
