Hallo-weekending

I can't believe it's Monday, again! Isn't it crazy how it keeps coming back? It was at least a fairly restful weekend, aside from a brief period of barking at 5:45 on Sunday morning (I suspect an animal was outside; she got quiet again afterwards). Importantly, we had beautiful weather for a Halloween party, and pretty much everyone brought their A game. Here's a look at some of the costumes:

First, my brother and his family as Star-Bellied Sneeches:

My brother-in-law as his family as Toy Story toys, plus a kid with a boombox:

My parents, the gnomes (my father was a "bathroom gnome," whatever that is):

And then me and the Mister, or Marty McFly and his girlfriend Jennifer:

Molly had had a really rough week at school and was up late on Thursday night because she went to the Sabrina Carpenter concert with a couple of friends, so she didn't dress up as anything other than a tired, stress-out high schooler.

The end of last week also brought with it a finished project:

Tied Knots (Ravelry link) in Fibernymph Dye Works Confetti Tweed DK

and a new cast-on:

The very last of my Felici!

This week is shaping up to be busy at work, plus there's Halloween and extracurricular activities. And I'm already dreading turning the clocks back next weekend, mainly because I know I won't get any extra sleep and it'll just be dark even earlier. For now, though, I'm going to enjoy the fact that it's supposed to be sunny and a high of about 60ºF today. I'll be spending most of the day inside in front of a computer screen, but at least I'll get some vitamin D when Ruthie and I are out for walks.

  1. What fun (and so creative) costumes!! (and I had a bit of a flash back at your Molly comment... oy, you have my sympathy. There is nothing on earth that equals a tired teenager!) I am dreading the time change as well... I don't think Frankie is going to have a smooth transition. I have been trying to move eating times back a bit and the struggle is very real!

  2. Those costumes are great! And I love your Back to the Future costumes! And I love that you two look totally stylish based on the standards of now AND then!

    I feel for Molly. I hope she was able to have fun at the concert and that she had fun at the family Halloween party.

    I love those Felici colors - they almost look like winter holiday colors in this picture. Perfect!
