There is little to write about today (so far), but the weekend was pretty busy. Over the weekend, my son had two of his friends over. Both their parents (two different sets of parents) went away for the weekend, leaving these two boys behind. For part of Sunday, we gained another boy as well. At nighttime, we had bodies all over the house. These kids would play video games until 1AM, then fall asleep in the living room.
Saturday evening, we went to a haunted house that was sponsored by a church (and yes, that seems incongruous to me too). The thing is; this was the best haunted house I have ever been to. It was an “insane asylum” theme, and these folks pulled it off brilliantly.
Also that evening, we went to a Mexican Restaurant. One of our two weekend kids is here from China and he said that he liked Mexican food, so off we went. When we got there, we asked him what he liked best about Mexican food. He said he liked the noodles the best, and that pizza wasn’t bad either. This might explain why he didn’t recognize anything on the menu!
On Sunday, our church put on our annual Harvest Faire. It was a huge success as always, though I still wonder why we had it on Sunday rather than tonight (Halloween). The original intent of the Harvest Faire was to give the community a safe place for trick or treating. I think the message/purpose has been lost on our staff. I think this is because our staff has young kids and those kids want to go trick or treating around their house. My (selfish) goal for the Harvest Faire has always been to not be home on Halloween.
