It's been a very busy week here. Our family's favorite baseball team, the San Francisco Giants, won the World Series! On Wednesday, there was a huge parade in down town San Francisco. Unfortunately I had to work, but the kids both went. Clara went with our good friends, Molly and Jack. Henry went with a bunch of friends from school. Meanwhile, back at home . . .
The hard wood floor project is coming along nicely. I love it but it really has put a crimp into my creative side because everyone is smooshed together in my bedroom. Also, I wasn't able to put up a Dias de los Muertos altar because we aren't able to put the furniture back yet. Wednesday was also Halloween . Henry was the only one who dressed up this year. . .
Here he is with his super-cute girlfriend, both dressed as cops. He went to a couple of different Halloween parties this year (on two consecutive October weekends). It's been years since he actually dressed up, so that was kind of fun to see. Clara hung out with friends from her old school for a few hours on Wednesday night. Paul and I went to a fun Halloween party. It was great for him to get out of the house - the first time in a while. I just wore some Giants fan gear.
I hope to get back to some creating soon! I want to participate in Bernice's Attitude of Gratitude project, as well as the Sketchbook Challenge's Life of Spice topic this month. On Sunday, I hope to have a story for Sian's Storytelling Sunday. . . not sure if I can manage his prompt ("It was a dark and stormy night . . ."), but I might give it a go. Finally, there's a new challenge up at the "Fall Fearless and Fly" series hosted by Artists in Blogland. There's plenty of inspiration out there. I just need the initiative!

Glad you were able to get out and enjoy the evening especially for Paul
sounds as though you are having a bit of a manic time at the moment.
Love Mary
So glad Paul was up to the Halloween party. I remember your posts from years past. Henry and his girlfriend make a striking couple.
It is great that Paul was able to get out, you start to feel cooped up after a little while, well I am so I can only imagine how he must feel!
Floors are looking good!
Oh,the floors look great!
So excited to hear that y'all got out for a bit on Halloween. We had a trunk r treat at our church, so I decorated my "trunk" & handed out candy while Robbie stayed homed & prepared for his mid-term exam in the extra master's class he's taking.
sounds like an eventful week! i always enjoy seeing photos of your kids. i hope you get some time, and space, to create this weekend.
A busy week with some good stuff in there :)
Any story at all is more than perfect - the prompt is just there because I was getting asked for ideas.
The kids look great and so glad to hear you and Paul got out for a bit! Congrats to your Giants, they beat my Tigers for sure!
The floor looks amazing! And I'm so glad to hear you and Paul were able to get to the party :) I hope you get some crafting time in soon xx
Great Halloween costumes. Nobody was out in the streets here, it just poured down !
The new flooring looks great Rinda :o) Glad you all got to go out and celebrate Halloween in your own ways xx
Thought of you as I heard the Giants had won :)
Glad you and Paul got out and about.

Your floors are looking lovely - and hope everyone gets their own space soon so you can get to create, with all those wonderful projects to be involved in ...
Rinda, you will love your hardwood floor!! When we moved into our new home, we ripped out the carpet in all of the downstairs rooms and put hardwood floor in instead. We never looked back - it is so lovely!
My daughter was over the moon when the Giants won. There was a lot of black and orange this week!!! And some very happy kids.
This was the first year that we didn't have a Halloween party. We had our housewarming a few weeks back and just shortly after that I hosted our German "Stammtisch", so I had enough parties recently. It was a very quiet and very rainy Halloweeen.
How great to hear that Paul got out to do some celebrating with you! Great pics of Clara and Henry
