Finally, some pics

Finally, I'm posting some pictures from YS2's first "real" Halloween. Okay, technically this is his second Halloween but he was too little last year to go trick or treating but you can see pics of his fireman's costume here. Awww! Not really a costume but close enough.


Anyway, here he is this year dressed as The Poky Little Puppy from the Golden Seal children's books. Personally, I don't remember reading that book as a kid but Caleb loves it! And just about every other book out there. :)

Trick or treat!

It's always story time

running around like a puppy (on two legs)

Um, please excuse the scary lady pictured with the cute puppy. That would be me and I wasn't exactly camera-ready but it was Halloween so I got to be scary-looking by default. ha ha!

It was hard getting pics of this active boy in full costume (there's a tail you can't see) - I mean, getting the hat on involved trickery. There were mittens and booties that looked like paws. Believe it or not, I managed to get the booties on (one fell off during our candy rounds) but the mittens were a no way jose! It's funny but once the hat went on he didn't seem to mind it. Usually he's pulling hats off.

I took him around the 'hood to score his load (thankfully awesome weather) while hubs stayed home and waited for trick-r-treaters. Not sure we had any. Ugh. That means candy hanging around. Anyway, Caleb had fun knocking on doors once he got the hang of it. Maybe next year he'll actually say, "trick or treat!"

He had fun in his costume and going door-to-door even if he didn't quite get what Halloween was all about. And thankfully, he doesn't know candy yet so I was able to take that to work and give it away. This mama doesn't need it either.

Happy weekend!

WEGO Health: Superpower!

We’ve all daydreamed about having a superpower like superheroes, haven’t we? I mean Superman can fly, reverse time (at least, in the name of love) and is uber strong. Spiderman, well, he uses web power to fly around and catch bad guys. There are other interesting superpowers like invisibility, walking through walls, shape shifting, or reading of the mind. That last one doesn’t interest me much ever since I watched an old episode of the Twilight Zone where the character could suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts and there was no filter so it became overwhelming and noisy in his head. Um, no thanks. At certain times though, I’ve wished for the ability. Could’ve saved a lot of problems, you know? Or be a fly on the wall… * According to this list, there’s insanely rich. I never really thought of that as a superpower per se but it is one I would love to have. That superpower should just be a given. With super wealth I could share it and help so many people, go to so many causes

Happy Friday! Thought I'd let someone else take the reins today and share with you an interesting topic. How Raw Diets Can Make a Difference Transitioning to a raw food diet is often thought of as only a personal choice, as a journey that one individually decides to embark on for whatever reason, whether it be ethical or health-related or some other reason entirely. But the Examiner in Sacramento suggests an interesting idea involving raw food diets that could potentially make a difference in the greater community. The social problem that the Examiner discusses is the city's increased problems with homelessness among seniors. The article reports that Sacramento has seen a sharp rise in the elderly being displaced, resulting from what many speculate the aging of the Baby Boomer generation. The article goes on to posit a refreshing new idea that would offer homeless seniors both a source of sustaining and sustainable nutrition and that would also give them something rewarding
