We started out with a shopping trip to Joanne Fabrics so Dawn and Erin could get materials for Halloween costumes. Dawn ASKS her 3 and 4 year old boys what they want to be. Just like with the birthday cakes (May '08), she always gets an interesting answer. And she always goes with it. So this year she is making a blue lobster and a red crab outfit. If I were her, I would offer choices, but she's always been braver than me. Erin is keeping her costume a secret for now. I'm thinking of posting some of our Costumes of Halloweens Past in an upcoming post. People really amaze me with their creativity.
Our next activity was making a grape pie with grapes from the backyard. This is kind of labor intensive- you have to skin and seed the grapes. But it makes a good pie.
Then we headed over to the Bonefish Grill for dinner. And a quick dip in Mom and Dad's hot tub before watching "Made of Honor"- I couldn't tell you how it was, I fell asleep through most of it. Here's to girlfriends!

Looks like you had lots of fun - including the hot tub. And the costumes - a lobster and a crab? Where do kids get these things? Reminds me actually of the Nativity Lobster in Love Actually.
oh Tara! what a great way to spend the evening-- I am SO jealous of that hot tub--- I would never climb out of it.
I do hope you are on the other side of the "squamorse" that awful, crash after the emotional high--- I sure crashed last week-- but am feeling better now and hope you are, too.
Big hugs!!!
