The Sunday Salon: A Halloween Hello

Owl Babies

Happy Halloween!

This weekend has been a busy one.

Friday, was Fall Family Night st The Girl’s school. I am on PTO so I had to work the event. Actually, we ALL ended up working the event as it was a huge success  with quite a few families in attendance. Each class decorated a pumpkin based on a children’s book. The Girl’s class did Owl Babies. Have you ever seen cuter pumpkins?

In between all the prep for tonight,  I making chili, cornbread and cupcakes and trying to get the house squared away for guests. I am also trying to finish up Middlesex (for class) and also trying to read my book club book for Thursday’s meeting.

In between all of it I am also watching scary movies. I think I’ve lost my mind!

Happy Halloween!!

The Sunday Salon: Busy, but Fun

Kindle Case

This photo has nothing to do with anything except that I am loving the new case that I got for my Kindle. I got it here, in case anyone needs one. So many of the cases out there are sort of masculine and, well…boring. This one has a pocket to hold the charger (big plus). I love it.

Yesterday we went to see Iron Man 2. I really liked it but can I just say that the cost of going to the movies these days is a bit much? A family of four, plus popcorn and some drinks came to $80. That’s a significant amount of change.

The Sunday Salon

Today I got to sleep in a bit which was lovely. After a quick cup of coffee we went out to breakfast and then hit the zoo. It was a bit hot and crowded but it was good to get out on such a nice day.

On the reading front, I’ve been reading Legend of a Suicide and The Glass Room. Both are really good but I have to put The Glass Room aside for a while as I have a tour coming up for Legend which snuck up on me a little bit. You know how that is.

It’s mid-May, it’s hot and school is beginning to wind down a bit. I was told by the little one that swim lessons are not needed this year. She was quite the swimmer last year, but a summer without swim lessons? Feels a little odd to me. Okay, I am also going to miss reading by the pool but swim lessons SCREAM summer to me. Perhaps I should work on my summer reading list instead.

Tonight, we are watching Old Dogs and cooking up a couple of pizzas. What do you have planned?
