Working more on Halloween stuff to try and be more positive. It helps. I enjoy it. I look forward to when Regin and I can do it together. For now I'm fighting him for the time to work on it. Wednesday I spend the ENTIRE day working on steps one and two of making my paper mache pumpkin. I don't even make it through step two. I get through three of my 6+ layers, which takes me SEVERAL hours (Shanti's here so it's OK) and then I get pulled away when Regin wakes up grumpy from a nap. It took so long I only did one of my planned three pumpkins, and I don't think I'm going beyond three layers.
After all that work, George and I go grocery shopping, only to find a Halloween candy section (what?? and where did they get those decorations???) and flipping CARVING PUMPKINS in the veggie aisle!?!?!
We ask someone how much they are. The woman takes off without saying anything. She eventually returns just when we're starting to feel truly abandoned. She then tells us that the pumpkins aren't for eating, just for Halloween. Haha! Yes but... how much? RM99.90!!! That's almost $30USD!!!!!! That's about the same as a train ticket to Bangkok!
We're doing further planning for Thailand, but even though we said we'd for sure be going there this weekend, there are still too many things up in the air. So George decides we will take a brainless, weekend resort trip to Bali this weekend. But then we don't have any info on Bali, so that's more complicated. So we plan Thailand some more. Then we buy a book for Bali, so then we're back to Bali. No surprise though, we don't go anywhere. Ugh. We suck at this. Wish we'd planned better and travelled somewhere this weekend. Truthfully though, it would have been a bummer trip. Regin and I are both sick. Oh I love having a little germ-spreader son wiping his runny nose on my shirt!
Speaking of the little squirt. Here are some photos from the week:
