Halloween!

Cletus' Mom here, writing from the hospital. No medical news to report. The c-section is scheduled and we're working to make it to week 36.

Halloween was a lot of fun. My Mom asked me if the kids in the hospital were allowed to trick or treat, and I was dubious at first. (Germs and all of that.) But I heard from the nurses that sometimes kids of the staff will come around in costume, so I rethought my Mom's idea of handing out treats. She brought over some decorations from the dollar store, and my siblings put them up for me. I received a lot of compliments, particularly the spooky spider hanging from the doorway. My friends came by on the 30th in costume and we knitted and celebrated! Halloween itself was fun - kids did come knocking due to my 'Trick or Treaters Welcome' sign, and I had a lot of candy folks brought over to hand out, and my good friends J&E to keep me company.

My favorites of the weekend - My friend made a Nerd Herd uniform from the TV show Chuck, complete with lanyard and name badge. SO CREATIVE! And the Star Wars family - Momma Leia, Darth Vader, and a diminutive Yoda. I wish I'd thought to take photos! My niece and nephew looked awesome, and came by with their parents to visit. My niece thought the make up was itchy but she made a great kitty cat with just enough spooky. My nephew is two, and as Batman really had the hang of this trick or treat thing. He was walking up to every adult in my room to ask for help with opening his candy!
