First, FLORIDA/GEORGIA! Yippee and hooray! It was great to see the Gators score a win (and also fan-freakin-tastic to see Georgia lose), even if we did have to go through ridiculous overtime stress. It was also great to see the Crew, and to have the presence of a ghost from MD13's past for Halloween weekend. It's fun when you realize that you can pretty much assume you're going to like your Crew's other crew automatically. Sign of a good Crew, if you ask me. (You didn't ask, but I'm the one writing here...so we'll just pretend someone asked.)
Let's be honest, though. I'm pretty sure the best thing to happen to us on Saturday was Will's Mom's "potato skins". It's heaven in a potato. I'm very nearly drooling just typing this. Popovers were tasty, too - but the potato goodness ruled the day.
Second, Halloween! Z and E had a great time, and they were stinking adorable. Who could resist this??
E was a bit wary of the whole concept at first - I had to get the candy for her, carry her around, and do all of the talking for her. Z was fine, really enjoyed chatting it up with the neighbors, and basically rocked the trick-or-treat. Then E caught on, and stole the show. After about the third house, she started scooping candy into her bag with her whole arm, and saying "trick or treat" to everyone. She also decided she's too grown up to be carried or to hold hands. No dice, little Miss Big Britches! So, I was the mom carrying her cheerleader toddler upside down back to the house. Oh well. It's all fun and games until somebody's bloomers are showing!
Speaking of Halloween, Mrs. MD13 really does take the prize for best kid costumes ever. Last year: 1-year-old Chippendale dancers. Amazing. This year: Animal House. Incredible. What will she do next year??
