Are we all talked out?

Or has everyone OD'd on Halloween candy??

as soon as the place is settled, everyone clams up!

I'm so tired!

I had kids over for a Halloween party, still picking up candy wrappers and I OD'd on pizza and chocolate myself too.

My kids are with their dad for the weekend and I'm packing up ALL this evil tempting candy and sending it with them.

That party was super fun though. We told ghost stories around a circle of candles ( silly ones ) - it was a game where you take a card that says "it was a dark and stormy night" or "hovering over the grave was a ... " and you finish it.

After that we ate pizza, got out the eye camera and PS2, plus borrowed their dad's Wii , so my kid is now the most loved one in school, heh heh. They all asked me when the next party will be.

but I'm tired. and so are my kittens. They are petted and played out from so many kids giving them atttention. They loved it though

I went to Zion canyon too see fall colors one day (they start at 11,000 feet and over the course of 2 months descend so I've been to see fall colors at several altitudes lately). And I'm working on an an authentic aztec sword with obsidian blades in conjunction with an archaeologist friend who knapps arrowheads and blades authentically, among other projects.

Wow. Neat project!
