Today's Mood

Today's prompt for the October Blogging Challenge was, Today's Mood. 

After our big, Pumpkin Carving party last night, my mood today is TIRED! I'm also feeling pretty lazy. Thankfully, with the later bedtimes, the kids actually all slept in. I don't think we got up until 8am. I'm sure that was partially because of the lingering colds as well. 

Graham woke up with a little fever and put himself back to bed for a bit longer. After breakfast and when Graham got back up, we decided we all needed some fresh air. We did a shorter family walk to the Skeleton house to see some spooky decor, then headed back home to play outside before lunch. We didn't get to Charlie's pumpkin last night, and he really wanted to put the candle inside so we got to work on that. Doggy theme of course, he has paw prints and two dog bones on his. We also had to do more work on Jack's Spiderman, we did the eyes last night and then he painted it. But we added the web today. 

After we finished up carving, we came inside for lunch. Jack woke up as grumpy and tired as I was, so he had a meltdown. Even though it was early and they had slept in, he wanted to go to sleep without lunch. They were both in bed and asleep a little before 1pm! I hope all the extra rest gets them back to feeling well! 

During nap, G played a bit and then he's watching a Halloween movie now so I can work on my blog post and rest a little myself. It seems like all of us are feeling the same way today, tired and a bit grumpy. We have another festive day tomorrow with our Neighborhood Halloween Parade, so we're taking it easy today so we are ready for it! 

I hope you're all having a nice day, and feeling a little more rested and cheerful that we are over here! Big festive evenings sure are fun, but they do take it out of us, don't they? Here's a few photos from our fun night (and our carving session today too).

See you back here tomorrow for Day 27! We're almost to the end of this little challenge, October has totally flown by. Thank you so much to those of you who have followed along.
