Cutie-pie kiddos! Buffistas make beautiful babies.

Raq, insent to your profile addy.

All of the buffista babies look so damn cute in there costumes!

Now to try to get some more sleep...

We are all up early this morning in our house, although that is Joe's fault, not Ellie's. I'm not sure about Ellie, but we had a great time last night. We went to a friend's house and there were lots of little princesses, a Jango Fett, a spider, and Ellie the peapod. As always, Ellie mostly loved watching the bigger kids and the little princesses loved playing with her. Jango Fett explained to me in great detail how breastfeeding works. He was very cute in his sincerity.

My main reaction from last night (after the cuteness of the kids) was a simultaneous this is really fun/how did we get to be the parents?

Lilylion was adorable. I loved Annabel in her cat costume - she really does look like a little girl. Em looks ready to get some candy - very cute! K-Bug and CJ were both great and I loved Suzi in her Yankees gear. Do we get Emmett pictures? Oh, and I almost forgot (because I saw them earlier) Kara and Aidan were cutiehead babies in their costumes too!

So yesterday I came to school dressed as a vampire, with a slightly-more-cleavagey-than-it-should-have-been embroidered black top and long black skirt, along with my shiny new BEST SHOES IN ALL THE WORLD EVER (of which you will hear more in time, possibly with photographs) and a scarlet-lined black hooded cape. And bite marks. And scarlet lipstick and nails and so forth. It was fab.

Only 5 members of staff elected to do the fancy dress thing here in the elementary school. Unsurprisingly Flatmate and I were two of them, and dear friend N (in flatmate's yeargroup, the New Yorker whom I mentioned the other day) was a third. The kids, however, went to town. More Mr Incredibles, Batmen, Spidermen and assorted Disney Princesses than one could shake a stick at. Much cuteness. I thought I'd be braced for the cuteness of Buffista babyfolk, but boy, was I ever wrong.

Em's Pink Cthulu crippled me with the cuteness, and then Annabel's cat reduced me to a gurgling wreck, and then Lilybean delivered the deathblow.

Am DED from teh cute.

Bless. Bless. Bless.

In other me-related news - we've got 4 days of holiday for the Eid, and I have nowhere to go. I feel decidedly pouty about it. I've got half a mind to go to the travel agency tonight and just bloody FIND a flight to Cyprus or Prague or Greece or Turkey or somewhere and go for a long weekend on my own. Damn it.

Damn. my body knows 4am - it woke up 5 min before Matt's Alarm. of course, it will not do its usual thing and race around like a hamser. nope, this is on purpose so it thinks I should go to sleep. Stoopid brain.

Timelies!

Oh, wow. SUCH cutie patooties we have here! Thanks moms and dads for sharing all the wonderful halloween pictures. Maidengurl, how'd your kids get so grown up?

Today's going to be a crazy day. I've got lab, then a meeting with the Independent Study professor, therapy, then an appointment with my shrink. It'll be nice to get home tonight! Of course, then I have to finish all of my homework for tomorrow!

Sounds like you slept, Vw. go team breathe

I did sleep! All night! Breathing is good.

Mom and Emily told me last night that I was sounding a lot better, so that is good.

Poor beth for being up so early.

It could be worse, I could be driving to the airport. Bart is in the less than 2 miles away zone.

Yay for vw breathing!
