What a weekend!

I skipped over our weekend because Lizzie's birthday was yesterday. And of course, she deserves top billing and her own birthday post.

This past weekend was fun, musical and scary.

FRIDAY night:
Lynden High School Homecoming Game
AKA in our house - spirit band game

It got a little crazy

In addition to being cold. On reason why I prefer basketball season - it's inside!

SATURDAY:
What a busy day! I had a youth dance to prepare treats for and Amber had rehearsal for the Whatcom Symphony Orchestra and Tabitha was working. I still needed to head out to get some things to finish the food and Amber needed to be picked up. While I was upstairs getting ready David called my name. You know, the kind where you just KNOW something was wrong. As I opened the door he yells "Dad fell off the ladder"!!!

I honestly have never run down the stairs so fast in my entire life. I was so focused in getting out to the garage that I didn't see that Rob was on the couch. He had made it inside the house on his own. After making sure he didn't have injuries that required a trip to the ER we went out into the garage to show me what happened. And that is exactly what happened - the tri-fold attic ladder broke on him while he was coming down with some Halloween boxes for us. We are so grateful that he didn't hit his head or broke a bone. He's been pretty sore but after a once over from the doctor and an x-ray yesterday he is recovering.

That changed the costume I was going to be at the dance. So this year I went back to being ketchup again and our friend, Katie was mustard.


Here are the treats we had and they were such a hit.

Creepy Truffle Eyeballs


Marshmallow Ghosts


Monster Mash


SUNDAY:
Amber had a wonderful concert with the Whatcom Symphony Orchesta


Are those the BEST bassoons or what?




Now on to take on the week!
