We had such a busy weekend. On Saturday we went to a harvest/Halloween festival at one of the metro parks. It was a mile hike through the woods (it was night, so it was very cool) with stops to meet people dressed up (as a bat, as cats, as a witch, as the Lorax, etc.) and a break at a barn built in the 1800s. There was an old-timey band there singing Ohio murder ballads and some cheerier stuff and a bonfire and cider. We sat on a tarp and listened to the band for about an hour then hiked back down to our car.

On Sunday we had a Halloween party for some of Noah’s friends. The parents generally stayed, too. That was great. Noah was an excellent host and I think most of his friends had fun; I know the grown-ups did.

I’m waiting on a check for a writing assignment that was supposed to come last week. My student loan money came out of the household budget and so we’re going to be hurting this week until it shows up. Arghhh. I hate that.
