and so we meet again

We are back from Minneapolis feeling much better than we did last time. This trip was fun and although there was business (if you call trying to diagnose your child business) we played a lot. Unfortunately, we still can't seem to find a diagnosis so we will keep working and I will leave it at that. I appreciate your thoughts and prayers.
But like I said....we played. We went to the aquarium in the Mall of America which was very cool. We saw sharks, octopus, an alligator, huge water turtles, and we pet sharks and sting rays. My son loved it so much we went again later that day. Gotta love those all day passes. We shopped (or better yet, I did most of the shopping) and enjoyed good food. It was a nice yet quick trip.
I didn't have much time before we left to get much done but I really wanted a new purse/ bag for the trip. It always feels good to have something new, right? So I quickly stitched together this hobo bag. I wasn't too sure about it at first but the more I use it the more I love it. It's so spacious and I have received a lot of compliments. When it comes to purses, I am a bag lady.

we've been BOO'ed

On our way out of the house we came across a Halloween bag full of goodies. I looked around and no one was there so we took it inside and opened it up (who wouldn't, it was full of candy!!). Inside the bag there was candy, some kid's craft items, and a note. The note basically said that we have been BOO'ed and now it's our turn to BOO someone new. We have to keep it a secret though. I thought this was pretty cool and immediately went to work on a BOO bag to give away.


After it was sewed up and ready I filled it up with candy and my son and I headed out the door to BOO a neighbor. My 1st mistake was bringing my son because he

1. tried to go in the people's home and play with the children
2. ran down the street signing, "we're gonna BOO you!"
3. managed to fall on the sidewalk in front of their home when they opened the door

I am about 99.9% sure they knew it was us. And that last .1% was confirmed by the fact that 30 minutes later a knock came to the door with a new BOO bag. So I think they probably felt bad for us and BOO'ed us back. lol So now the vicious circle of BOO'ing continues and we will be making new BOO bags tomorrow to secretly hand out with my mom. But next time I will put the diva in me aside and use some cheap Halloween bags to avoid blowing my cover.
