A Mellow Brick Road...: Haunted Forest

This morning came oh so too early, ha! Even despite everyone sleeping in, well, except Daddy but he got an early head start on his sleep last night. You two insisted that Mommy "Get Up," at 9:30 a.m. This is a really late start to our day compared to most days, but Mommy stayed up until 3:45 a.m. working on my craft room project. Thankfully, you two wanted to stay up late last night (11:30 p.m.) so that bought Mommy a few extra hours this morning, thank goodness. When Daddy arrived home from his Saturday morning work, Mommy got in the shower and headed to my afternoon appointment. Buddha, Daddy had you in the kitchen with him when Mommy was leaving, and you said, "Mommy, don't leave me." You have been saying this a lot lately...Mommy never leaves you, you little sucker! I'm certain you would be glued to my hip 24/7 if I let you. Mommy gives you 16 hours most days, sometimes more, and that's about all you're going to get :)- Bodhi, you had a fuss butt moment with Daddy, so you came and told Mommy, "Mommy I cry for you, I want you Momma! Daddy hurt my heart." You are such a little drama queen, and you know how to work it hee/hee Anyway, when Mommy arrived home from my appointment, an hour later, you two were in your beds taking an afternoon nap...this was a first, Daddy always messes up nap time on the weekends!

Mommy had every intention of coming home and getting some housework done, but with everyone sleeping, including the hounds, Mommy couldn't resist curling up in bed with Daddy and taking a nap myself. You two awakened shortly after Daddy got up, but Mommy kept sleeping...I didn't want to move. Of course, you two about a half hour after being up with Daddy, came and got Mommy "UP!" You guys were ready for dinner and a trip to the "Haunted Forest" as Daddy named it. Mommy warmed up some leftovers, and Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron dropped by about this time. They brought special treats for you both... a Hello Kitty (blue) sucker... made in China ha/ha for you, Bodhi. It turned your whole face blue and we laughed that it probably had led in it and you'd be short the rest of your life :0 Buddha, you got an Amish sucker. You both loved your suckers suckers! After Sister Kelly and Brother Aaron left, we couldn't talk them into going with us :( Mommy got you both dressed and we headed to the park for a haunted trail walk.

Now Buddha, you are the biggest chicken ever, so this could have been really bad, but you survived and actually enjoyed it. Mommy did manage to scare you once though...,you were on my shoulders and there was this vampire hanging in a tree, so Mommy walked over to it and said, "Jude, don't let him get you," as I backed you into his arms. It started making scary noises and you freaked for a minute. Mommy was laughing hysterically, I get that from Great Papaw Grills who use to love scaring me as a child, but Daddy comforted you by telling you it was ok hee/hee Bodhi, you were on your Daddy's shoulders and loving every minute of the walk. Nothing scared you Bodhi, you laughed through most of it. Mommy ended up screaming once ha/ha all the ghosts, witches, and scary people hiding, were all very considerate and they didn't jump out at you two, but when Mommy walked by one (you still on my shoulders Jude) Mommy didn't realize I was face to face with one, since they didn't move or say anything... as to not scare the two of you ha/ha Mommy jumped and screamed, the guy waived trying to not upset you Jude hee/hee I think it was freakier for Momma that no one jumped out at us or yelled ha/ha Anyway, you two loved your adventure, and afterwards we got slushies as a special treat.

Once home, Mommy took care of the critters and started a movie, "The Night Before Christmas," (I think that's the name of it ha/ha). It's a Halloween movie, and Sister Kelly's favorite, she brought it over for you two. Buddha, you of course didn't care to watch it, you played and tormented your sister instead. Daddy fell asleep, and Mommy tucked you both in afterwards. I was going to continue working on my craft room, but these blogs and FB'ing ate up a ton of time, so I'm calling it a night as well. We have an early morning date with an apple orchard, GiGi, Gi-Pa, and Grandmoo :) Sweet dreams my sweet sweet babes!
