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.
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!
ReplyDeleteThose 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
What great costumes!! I love your parents as gnomes. LOL. Congrats on the hat finish and a new sock start. Wishing Molly a stress-free week (and you too).
ReplyDeleteThe costumes are great! Looks like everyone had a good time.
ReplyDeleteI sure hope Molly has a better week.
What a fun family you are!! I just love how all the adults pull together such good costumes. No slacking there :) And I think we could ALL use a bathroom gnome. (And a vacuum gnome. And a kitchen gnome. You see where this is going....!) :)
ReplyDeleteWhat fun costumes! Your family is making great memories, even for that tired teenager (who got to see Sabrina Carpenter!) I love that pink hat especially.
ReplyDeleteYour family is so creative! Everyone looks great in their costumes, and "bathroom gnome" just makes me laugh. Reading about Molly brought back lots of memories of tired teenagers who had difficult weeks here. (Not fun for anyone!) I am rarely impressed with Felici when I am looking at it on the website, but I bet your socks could sell a few balls. (Knitpicks should pay attention!)
