I know it’s been awhile since I last updated. My only excuse for that is we’ve been busy! I wish I could say we’ve been busy travelling, but sadly we have not.
Our household good arrived on the 14th of October. Tony and I both took that week off so we could unpack. For the most part, we finished everything that week. We still have a few boxes that need to be unpacked. Hopefully we’ll get to those sooner, rather than later! It was nice to finally be able to sleep in our beds again!
Tony has started working swings, which means it’s just me and the girls at night. He spends a little bit of time with Angelina and Alyssa every morning because he gets them up, gives them breakfast and puts them on the bus. We’ve also had a couple of exercises in the last few weeks and Tony goes to 12 hour shifts and we never see him.
On the October 25th, the base had “Trunk or Treat” (they didn’t do it on the 31st because some numbskull scheduled a bazaar for that weekend and they didn’t want anything to conflict with it). Here are the girls in their costumes:
Angelina was a princess angel, Alyssa was a vampire princess (or something like that) and Amber was JoJo the Clown. We arrived at Trunk or Treat around 30 minutes before they started, so we decided to go to the haunted house first. BIG mistake! By the time we got back, the line had doubled! So, we spent about an hour waiting:
And waiting…
And waiting…
Finally! Candy!!
They had some wonderfully decorated trunks, but his one was by far my favorite:
What you can’t see in the truck is Emerald City and The Yellow Brick Road. I thought it was great! The girls really liked this one:
The dental squadron put that one together. The first few kids that came through got toothbrushes and toothpaste for “feeding” Stitch candy. I thought it was a good idea, but got a good laugh the next weekend when the same squadron was selling candy apples at the bazaar.
And finally, here are the little ones showing off their haul:
