Happy Halloween and More....

Happy Halloween!   Looks like a beautiful fall day out there...been doing some things around the house today as it is "fall break".   I have to go into the office here in a bit for a while, but hope to get more done here too...I am sure I won't accomplish as much as I hope to! 
But, I am blogging for a little "break"!!

It will be fun to see our little ghosts and goblins tonight! 

Here's a partial peak of my past week:

• Last Sunday (Oct 23) we met up in Cheyenne with Brooklyn and his mom and Brooklyn came home with us for his fall break!   He had a week off!
• Monday was the 1:1 laptop rollout at our high school.  This is a realization of a couple years dreams, and so exciting.  It was a long, long day!   But, awesome!   We had 18 sessions that day for parents/students.   I thought I was there to assist, but ended up we (Earl, whom I work with, and I ) had to talk at each session.  Nothing like winging it!  Got home about 8:30 that night! Crystal and Elijah spent the afternoon with Brooklyn and Crystal's hubby came over after work for supper and games of marbles!
• Back to work about  7 AM (Tuesday, Wed, Thurs and Friday) with trainings, that I got ready for about midnight Monday night!   :-)  (really didn't plan ahead very well, did I?)
• I helped take Elijah to the dr on Tuesday for his 6 month check up.  He was so cute and happy.   He did well and is at 15 pounds 2 ounces, which was great.   He was really happy right up to the swabbing the thighs for the shots.  Then he screamed.  Poor little guy (I am sure it was cold).   And the shots were not a happy time, but he did well.  He got a rash on his head, so I was worried it could be  a reaction but must have just been from crying so hard!   Poor buddy!
• The whole week was so busy!   I had lots of work, and would forget to get up from my desk until I was stiff! 
• Wednesday night hubby and I went with Brooklyn to the movies.  We saw "Real Steel".   It was surprisingly good!   And, always fun to go with Brooklyn as a date!
• Thursday we had another 2 hour session for the laptop rollout for parents/students that could not come on Monday, and then I immediately went to a meeting at another school.  Brooklyn had gone over to Crystals for a while, and wasn't ready to come home yet, so I trekked back after him later that evening.
• Friday we had a busy morning, including staff meeting and a going away lunch for a great gal who is quitting.   I took the afternoon off, and Brooklyn and I hung out, ran errands, and had fun together.  
• Friday night we passed up our weekly dinner with friends and Elijah came over.   Brooklyn carved pumpkins for him and Elijah and was so proud!   (Pictures to follow this week).  I made his favorite spaghetti for supper, and we had a fun evening, ending with watching a movie.   Elijah is enamored with Brooklyn.   
• Saturday morning, we got up and took the kids and grandkids to breakfast.   Then, I put together some new shelves in the basement laundry room.  Hubby offered to make the kids pork chili, so he got that going and they came over in the afternoon and carved a pumpkin for Elijah too.   I made tortillas and we had a nice dinner followed by playing marbles.  That was after Brooklyn got to ride the 4-wheeler in the alleys a while...a boy's dream come true! 
• We watched a football game Saturday night and relaxed.   Go WYO.
• Sunday, got up and had breakfast and headed back to take Brooklyn home (met part way again).  Brooklyn and I played Uno against each other on iPads in the car...we had fun!  The ride home was pretty quiet and lonely!
