Trunk or Treat with Grandkids!

They all went on the cupcake walk and received a cupcake which they scarfed down and then it was down the hall for a drink.
Colin was Robin Hood, Ady, Maid Marion, and Owen Spider Man complete with leather gloves. We did take his leather gloves off to eat, of course!


For putting the bean bag through the mouth of the ghost Ady received a necklace which we gracefully added to her beautiful dress. By the end of the night she had two necklace adorning her outfit.
Owen and Colin waiting in line for the bean bag toss with grandpa. There was also eating a donut on a string and a fishing pond and cake walk. Grandma was on her scooter taking pictures! After the carnival in the gym, all of us went outside to "Trunk or Treat." The kids saw a scary witch, Abe Lincoln, a crazy crayon lad. cheerleaders, flapper ladies, punk rockers and some draculas and other odd assortments of costumed people having lots of fun. For some unexplained reason a whole cow costume family showed up. Grandma dressed in a orange polo shirt and went as a handicapped person! Ha, ha. We all had a lot of fun and "tired out" was the game we played as we headed home!

My New Scooter

My scooter frees my hands so I can do more things and gets me places faster. The chair next to me with the pillows was where I spent my day cropping pictures for scrap booking.
Ben loved my scooter and pushed it around the condo. He liked to tip it over so he could play with the wheels. He also has another strange habit of carrying around one shoe by the shoelace.

As you can see the cast is almost up to my knee. I've pretty much gotten used to sleeping with it. The first few days my foot had panic attacks because it couldn't get out of the cast. The hard part is no baths or showers except sponge baths. I only have two more weeks to go until this comes off. I'm gaining a lot of upper body strength from lifting myself up both sets of stairs. I only use the crutches upstairs now. When we go anywhere I use the scooter.

Last Friday we went to the music store in Burlington, WalMart, and the dollar store for cards. By the time I arrived home I was spent! I didn't realize what a big store WalMart was until I had to do to on a scooter! Relief Society sisters are just bringing in one meal a week now. It has been nice. I did manage to fix a chicken, stuffing caserole. I just can't get it out of the fridge by myself so I go to the fridge with my dish and ladle out what I need right at the fridge without having to remove the caserole.

NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION!!!
