Here’s my niece. She’s a “Snow Fairy”. She was going to be a regular fairy but we got a cold spell and her regular fairy costume wasn’t going to cut the 15 degree weather…so my sister-in-law adapted it and she became a “Snow Fairy”. I think she’s cute.

Here’s my nephew in his “Willy” costume. He absolutely LOVES the movie Free Willy so he got to be Willy tonight. He loved making Willy swim and if you ask him he’ll even tell you “Willy’s and Orca”. Cool Auntie moment — Rider won Best Overall Boy Costume in the costume contest at the party we went to at church. No, I’m not proud or anything. LOL

At Rider’s school the classes make their own costumes. Here’s his. They were penguins…his teacher was the mama penguin. I have to say, I think their class had the cutest costumes in the whole school. Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of the back….he even had a little tail…it was ADORABLE.

So, since I’m not with Ally I got to spend the day with Rider. I went to his school party then he, my sister, and I went up to visit my dad in the hospital. I got to his room and got dad sitting up and gave him some candy to give Rider when he got there to “Trick-or-Treat”. Dad was so excited. Rider showed up as a Penguin and left as Willy. Then we went to the church party. A very fun evening.

AND, the biggest news of the day. Dad is getting transferred from the hospital to the rehabilitation center TOMORROW!!! They don’t know how long he’ll be there the doctor said to expect several weeks but he didn’t think it would be months. He’s getting better slowly but surely. Now he just needs to regain his strength.

(P.S. — sorry about the bad photo quality…I didn’t bring my camera when I came here so all I have is my camera phone…the pictures aren’t bad but, well, it’s a camera phone. LOL)

Till later…
