A has been wanting to go do something lately so I took her to the mall today to play. N has a long day anyway with drawing class after school. Going to use some coupons at Bath & body works. I have a lot of free ones to get. Unfort my parents can't join but she's having fun anyway. I'm a little bored haha.
Came into work today just because I was supposed to have a conference call. As of yet no call. Sigh. But I'm getting some work done at least.
MIL brought over a while bunch of Halloween decorations last night. Apparently V has been lamenting our lack of Halloween decorations in her presence. So now we have no lack of decorations, lol.
Hola! Stroller strides this morning was great, sunny and a bit chilly but not too bad. Then played at the park. Got my flu shot today dreemkin at Walgreens. Poor pharmacist was approaching frazzled trying to fit in flu shots and all his regular work. Now my aunt and uncle are arriving in town as well speak. They aren't staying with us or here specifically to see us but we will see them tonight and probably Friday and Saturday. My parents arrive Saturday too so then it's a crazy week of grandparents.

I am so unmotivated, which is unfortunate since I’ve got to get ready for our weekend guests.
My dad picked up G from school since I knew bible study was going to run late today. I took advantage of the babysitter & hit up hobby lobby while I was in town for Halloween costume supplies. For about 3 weeks now, G has been insisted he wants to be an African Violet. Yes, my child wants to be a plant. No, he doesn’t want to have a flower. Just fuzzy leaves. I am 0% creative, but we’re gonna figure this out.
Omg lilyelayne that is awesome! But I'd be confused how to do that too. I was trying to figure out how to do an ice cream cone (what N wants to be) and broke down and bought one. But I'm sure you don't have that option! Good luck!

lilyelayne how creative! Not for you but for him to think like that is so fun. My first thought is to do a terracotta pot for the main part of the costume and in that put on of the signs saying what he is. You knkw the ones I am talking about? They are in all the plants when you purchase them? You can print a picture and write it underneath. And I would just get a green long sleeved shirt and cut leaves out of velvet to attach.
I presume he has some interest in the plant so you might use that for you. They are supposed to be able to bloom year around so to really be an African violet he should have a bloom. You can definitely make it more about the leaves but play into his natural curiosity and fascination and encourage a flower or two.
What aggiebug said is amazing advice. I have an idea for the terracotta pot . You can get an old big lamp shade (from goodwill or if you have one) and turn it upside down and spray paint it the color you want. Then attach straps so he can wear it like suspenders. That's what I was originally gonna do for N's cone part of her costume.

You ladies are so creative!
DH already has the idea to do a pot with suspenders but I love the plant identification sign aggiebug. The reason he doesn’t want a flower is because his African violet at school hasn’t bloomed yet.
kartish my initial search was for a green velour jacket but I came up empty. Considering a fuzzy green fleece pullover. I found a garland of fuzzy leaves at hobby lobby so I’ll probably either hot glue them to a cheap shirt or pin them if I buy a fleece.

Ahh makes sense! I wondered what his inspiration was for a flowerless African violet m. I love their little minds!
Today is like any other Thursday so far haha. I finally did not have any stress dreams last night!! I'm starting to stress about the thanksgiving holiday bc of my IL side. My biggest stressor is that his parents, brother, brother's girlfriend, and brother's girlfriend's kid all want to stay at our house. I've never even met the girlfriend and kid. I understand wanting to save money (but how about girlfriend and kid don't spend it on the flight..). I asked H if I could just get a hotel room lol.
Well, I didn’t get picked as a jury member. The whole process was interesting but it was going to last 5 weeks so probably for the best. I found it funny that everyone is basically reduced to their job title.
mishka29 that doesn't seem fair - there's so much more to a person than their job title. I always think that sounds cool but then think what a big commitment and responsibility it would be.

Very true. On the first day I was thinking why wouldn’t they want me?! It’s my job to make unbiased decisions based on facts and that’s what you are looking for. By the second day I understood why they wouldn’t want me. Lol I’m always looking for someone who’s lying or trying to cheat the system and when it comes to criminality I have knowledge that the general public wouldn’t.
I also think with this case I wouldn’t want to know and hear all the details bc it was a kidnapping and attempted murder and the victim was tortured.
