I stayed home from work today...I didn't sleep well last night and the thought of going to work that tired left me with no motivation to get up and face another day from my corner cubicle. Instead, I slept in and spent many fun hours playing with Irelyn on the floor.When Scott got home we went down to the Orange Circle and participated in the Trick or Treat in the Streets. This is one of my favorite events every year. We got to the circle and were getting Irelyn out of the Element and I asked Scott if he grabbed her costume and he just kinda looked at me. I knew then that neither one of us had picked up the adorable lady bug costume I had bought her for Halloween. So there she was...dressed in all black (the underclothes I had planned for her). I could've been really upset by it...but instead Scott and I just looked at each other and laughed. We had brought her car to push her around in. As we walked over to wear the trick or treaters were Scott was all, "She'll just be a race car driver!" Then as we got to the circle we walked passed the firemen and they were giving out fire dept stickers and firemen hats, so we of course took some for Irelyn. So then she was a firewoman!! Too bad 95% of people thought she was a boy!! Oh well....lesson learned, right?!After that lil adventure we went to Olive Garden because I've been craving their salad. We ordered spaghetti for Irelyn (her favorite) and we both thought it was odd that she wasn't really eatting it. Normally she goes to town on spaghetti. Scott tasted it and was like, eeww...taste this honey! (I never get why people will say something tastes gross and then immediately tell you to taste it) I guess it tasted like ketchup on pasta. When the waiter came by Scott mentioned it to the waiter and the waiter told us that its just a tomato sauce and that our child must already have a refined palate. Um...okay. We had ordered marinara sauce for our breadsticks and Scott started giving her some of that and she was a total happy camper again!I've spent the last two and a half hours baking....I swear, I'm a glutton for punishment sometimes. Work does a big Halloween thing and I said that I'd bring something. I ended up baking four batches of brownies and 40 biscuits. I fried up the sausage and tomorrow morning I'l make gravy....Sometimes I just wish I had it in me to say NO!Okay...so its 10:35 and I'm normally in bed about 2 hours ago!!!!HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN!!
