It was cold and windy last night for Halloween. We were just happy it wasn't raining! We managed to visit quite a few houses in the neighborhood with the kids. By the time we made it back to the house, the kids were ready for bed, so we didn't hand any candy out - which means we need to find a creative way to get rid of it.
Audrey wanted to be a butterfly - which was basically just wings - and great because we managed to talk her into putting her coat on first. Cole said he was not just a skeleton, but a Gamorean Guard skeleton. (Star Wars thing)
I was reminded of what a nice neighborhood we're able to live in. The neighbors didn't just toss candy into the kid's buckets and shut the door. Each one spent a little time asking them what they were dressed up as and also asked Laura and I which house/street we were from.
I was also reminded of how ugly the entry to our house is, after seeing all the fancy front doors in the neighborhood. I think we need those Curb Appeal people to stop by our place and freshen it up.
So the kids didn't wake me up this morning. That means they must be busy doing something - hopefully, nothing bad. This is what I find...
That's Audrey (3), and Cole (5). Audrey started up her Mac, launched the Safari web browser, and went to NickJr.com. Cole started up the Powerbook, then launched Lego Star Wars.
Okay, here's my first real blog post on Comet.
A couple days ago, while standing on the beach, I had one of those moments that are all too rare - where you are able to backup and look at where you are in life. I had one of those moments, and snapped it on my camera phone while it was happening. Now that I have this picture, I remember what I was thinking. It was something to the effect of "Holy crap, I'm married and have two kids. How did all this happen so fast, and how to I make it slow down now that I'm in it, so I can soak it up more?"
Then I had another thought. Mobile blogging is going to be huge. To be able to post this picture online within moments of having that thought. Just huge. It adds a level of... something... knowing you're sharing this with your friends and family, and I don't mean sharing it weeks later when you remember to batch upload all your photos from your SD card, because you ran out of space.
Friggin sweet! ... as Napolean would say.
