On Wednesday, we headed over to Trader Joes to pick up some goodies to send to D. When we arrived, we found out that they were having some fun activities for Halloween. First, Munchkin had to search for the treasure chest in the store to get a prize. It took some hunting, but she found it! Then, she had to pick out which jack-o-lantern she liked the best. (Each employee had carved a jack-o-lantern for the contest.) And last, but certainly not least, they supplied a pumpkin for Munchkin to paint. What a nice little distraction for the day… Later…

I’ll be back once we’ve bid him farewell. I’ll still be checking my email, so if you need to contact me, you can just shoot me an email. Munchkin doesn’t know that he’s on his way home, so it will be a big surprise for her. She just knew that he’d be home either today or tomorrow. She just figures that he’ll be home tomorrow since it’s already…

Well, we bought our material way back in August, but with everything going on around the homefront, we just made the blanket last week. Yikes! The main thing is that Munchkin and I worked together and got it finished. Here’s how it turned out:
