Winter is here

Time is moving by so quickly now! I was thankfully able to visit my parents and brother for a week at the beginning of the month while Damien stayed with Scott. It was the relaxing break that I needed. I also made it back home the day before we got a bunch of snow and the roads were bad. So it all worked out!

The Elusive Mia

I just have to brag about Damien a little bit. He's getting good grades, he's made good friends, and he LIKES his school. Also, just today Damien went on his first play date! A boy in two of his classes had been talking about Damien a lot to his mom so she invited him over today to hang out. They had so much fun together and I think this could be the start of a wonderful friendship. I'm just so proud of him. We've also been spending more quality time together which has been nice. 

Winter means indoor activities. Here's the basketball court at my apartment complex. Instead of "Pig", we played "Doge" haha

Happy Halloween 2021!

 Damien and I had a good Halloween overall. Damien watched Gremlins on Saturday with Scott (his first horror movie) and since that wasn't scary enough for him, Damien and I watched Jaws on Sunday. Surprisingly for a 2-hour movie, Damien was actually interested in Jaws the whole way through and even clapped at the end lol. I think he was a little scared at some of the more intense scenes, but I don't think he'd tell me that. 

Roblox was down for almost the entire weekend. Starting around Sunday afternoon, Damien grew increasingly more and more distraught. He tried to play other games but they were too "boring". He couldn't even get distracted with the merge episode of Survivor! There was just nothing I could do or say so he moped around. He even told me he was too sad to pass out Halloween candy. By Sunday evening though Roblox was restored and Damien was happy and all was right with the world...and he STILL didn't want to pass out candy. Oh well.  

My grumpy cat pumpkin! I decided not to carve it since Damien's didn't even last a week before rotting.

Decorating Oreo cookies

It was much harder than it looked...

Damien's zombie, I think.

Damien and I went through the "tunnel of terror" carwash! The carwash was decorated, of course, but the actual scary part was all of the employees walking around the vehicles in masks. I didn't like it, but I got a clean car out of it!

I got to try out my ghost light bulb this year! It spins on the ceiling. I bought it last year on clearance after Halloween.

Our Halloween dinner! The cat has onion whiskers if you can't tell. Damien thought this was the best pizza ever and said I should sell it for $20. What's wrong with that kid? lol
