The Cute & The Melancholy

The Cute

And now, the obligatory Halloween-costume photos:

Pirates and superheroes love to dance.

Beware! Ye dare not cross the dread pirate Jude.

Aargh! Me glass eye itches!

Pastor Ben dressed as a regular guy with candy and temporary tattoos.

We didn't trick-or-treat door-to-door this year, and no child was the wiser. Our church's preschool hosts an indoor Halloween party that was PERFECT for our gang. About an hour of trick-or-treating at tables in the gym and each table had a simple game for the kids to play. Sam went around two or three times and came home loaded with candy. Jude mostly hung around our table. Owen found a non-parent grown-up buddy and I don't know what he was doing but he sure was happy.

The Melancholy

I'm feeling pretty low these days. This is my "good" week - no chemo - and I feel run down all the time. Maybe it's a cold virus; maybe it's the cumulative effect of chemo. No telling. I've been resting a lot for a couple of days but my body still feels worn. Oh, I will be so glad when I get to the last round!

Looks like the boys had a blast! You are doing a wonderful job keeping life normal for them, even though you are not feeling normal. Bless you.
