Slacker Part Deux

Ok, so I'm not getting any better at this posting more often. It is this whole moving thing. Who knew we had so much stuff? (keep your comments to yourself . . .) Anyway, it is quite the ordeal to pack up the Happy Hasslers to move across town. This may take a while.

Anyway, let's see if we can get some of life's other events posted.

Saturday was the Herbal Adventure for which I was in charge (volunteered before the whole Advanced Master Gardener class came up and we decided to move). But I wasn't going to let anyone down and we forged ahead and had our "Magical Herbs Herbal Adventure." It was quite a success even if I do say so myself. And if I read the apples right, Alison will be married within a year but that is a whole other story.

Anyway, so we all dressed-up for our parts. I gave a lecture on Love Potions and Romance and posed as the "Love Doctor, MD" ha ha get it? Meghan D . . . anyway, try to keep up. So I tried on my costume before I left and Mike thought it was great but the girls were not so sure. Hazel got all excited to see me like she does with new visitors until I spoke and then she just looked and got more excited and tried to jump up on me some. No sleuth there. And Claire just kept looking at me and giving me quizzical looks like "you kind of look like Mommy and you sound like Mommy but you have pink hair." And I took off the wig and she look relieved. But when she saw me again at the Cancer House she had forgotten and gave me the evil eye again. But who can blame her, there were a lot of people dressed-up.

So here is a pic of me in action - not the greatest pic ever but so you know why they both were so confused . . .



Aren't I purty? Most people had to pay $10 to see me like this. And I might add, I gave excellent love advice - "When in doubt, take a bath."

In other news . . .
Claire has also recently started smiling "on cue" for lack of a better term. If you say "Smile Claire" this is what you get . . .



And here is a shot when she was just being sweet.



So this and packing are what we have been up to this week. I can't decide if I should post a "Halloween Preview" of Claire's costume or not. I guess it is only two more days . . .
