I was thinking today that I need to get an Ergo Baby Carrier for work. I work on pregnant women, and then I work on them post-baby. Sometimes the babies come with them and don't want to stay in the carseat. This would give me the ability to work on momma and keep baby happy.

I have done the lamest of lame halloween thing. I have a foam visor with a bat on it. The bat's eyes used to light up, but the battery is dead. I still think it's fun though.

eta I hope to see Spider Girl in person tonight!

I have Halloween socks! Putting them on right now, before I forget again.

SpiderIris is wonderfully cute.

My mom made me a Black Widow costume out of an old black sweater, additional arms made of stuffed black socks, when I was a kid. I think my nephew still has it. Funny thing to end up being an heirloom.

Eta: this post brought to you by spiders and socks

Lucky! She looks very squeezable.

There is NO ONE around today. I'm going to have to start roaming the halls to find people to freak out with my costume.

They're lurking in the ceiling--no, that was ita, who was wondering where the stealth babies were hiding.

I think I'm going to be very bad and ditch class today... Not in the mood.

Reason #7596 I love my school.

With very few exceptions, the entire school--sixth grade through 12th AND faculty--dressed up today. And had a costume contest and a spooky field day that included passing a greased pumpkin over head and under legs.

And the faculty won.

WE GET A FREE DRESS DAY ON FRIDAY. JEANS, bay-bee!

That sounds like an awesome day, Kristin.

I have achieved pumpkin and (why should this year be any different?) entirely too much candy. I am now enjoying the traditional Halloween breakfast mimosa.

what?

Our pumpkins did not get carved this year. I'm thinking we will carve them tomorrow. Ellie will never know the difference and it seems a shame to just toss them out.

Make pumpkin pie, Stephanie!
