One thing about being a Beaver fan - when they do well it's a nice surprise, when they choke, it's business as usual.
The last game might have been a pisser, but it can't erase the fact that we had a great run these last several weeks.
Go Bruins - beat SC!

Tardy Halloween greetings
Well, so much for trying to update this blog in a timely manner. I blame the children. They don't nap, they sleep fitfully, and I have nary a minute to call my own. As I write this on a lazy Sunday afternoon I'm being bombarded to "Play, Mommy!" and "Do this with me Mommy!" and Eve from Wall*E is sitting on my chest so it seems to DJ that I'm playing with him while I type this, and now Helen's reading this over my shoulder to make sure everything I relate is accurate to the nth degree.
So, Halloween. Beautiful weather, lots of loot scored. Helen was a pioneer girl (such a refreshing choice from the pre-made, mass produced outfits we usually do). we bought a bonnet from the store at Champoeg State Park, found a pioneer-y type dress at Goodwill, and Mom found an apron (along with more bonnets!) in a box of old clothes for Coburg Golden Years dress-ups.
DJ could still fit into his Lightning McQeen driver suit from last year, and he wanted to wear it again.
We got out all the fittable costumes for James and he chose the old Bee costume. He was the cutest thing on the street that night. Yes, I know he's too young for trick-or-treating, but there's no way I could leave him behind when everyone one else was going out. He seemed to have a good time - he didn't smile but once he got the hang of what he was supposed to do he was pretty eager to to get that candy in his bucket. Of course, he only liked the Smarties, and DJ only at the Tootsie Rolls, and Helen has lost all interest in the stuff in her bucket, so I'm enjoying the spoils. We invited some friends over - Melissa from JC and her daughter Sarah, and Janet from OSU and her daughter Elizabeth. We had a great time with them!
Speaking of OSU...Way to beat Arizona, BEAVS! Talk about a heart-stopping game...I'm lucky I didn't have a heart attack last night. Now we just to beat the Ducks next week and we are ROSE BOWL bound, baby!!!!! I always send I'd find a way to go if we ever went, but that was a different time in my life. I'm just hoping to be able to get away with my girlfriends for a Girlz Weekend early in the new year.
Now the children have become interested in their candy buckets since Helen read this and had to make a big production of looking through it. I need to referee/supervise the eating of sweets now, so I'll sign off.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
