Yes, I know...I am a horrible blogger...I had a blog on Yahoo 360 for a little over a year and I guess I just lost motivation to blog. I am going to try to make a better effort though!
This weekend Eric carved his pumpkin. He was really excited to do it. I wasn't very excited, because I thought, like last year I would end up doing everything and he would watch cartoons. But, I was wrong. He did it all himself! First, he drew out a design on paper, then replicated it on the pumpkin. He did a great job carving it out too!
This weekend we also went to a local apple orchard. It was cold and rainy, but Eric still had a good time. We went with a group of people from his school. We went on a hay ride,
thru a corn maze and had cider and donuts. By the time we left we were freezing and
absolutely soaked! I had planned on going to
Wal-mart afterwards for a few things, but instead we just went straight home and changed our clothes, turned up the heat and ate soup and grilled cheese sandwiches.
I actually did something different for once last night. I went for Salsa dancing lessons! I met a girl last week who teaches the salsa dancing class at U of M and she invited me to come. I had a great time and am looking forward to the next lesson...I will be back in Level 1 beginners again...they teach you a lot of stuff in an hour and a half! I will be going every other Monday that Eric does not have a boyscout meeting. Eric came along and watched from the sides. He was very excited that one of the guys that I danced with looked like Will from Pirates of the Caribbean....I have not watched any of them yet, but I looked it up this morning and sure enough, I could have been dancing with Orlando Bloom's stunt double!

I am still trying to figure out this whole blogger set-up...there are many things I have no idea how to do...like adding a link to your post just from clicking on a word and adding links to other peoples pages on your page. I guess I just need more practice!
We did a costume trial run last night and here are some pictures. Eric had to snarl in every picture! I thought it was so funny. He looked like a grown man with the painted on beard and mustache! I bought a pirate hat for him today so he will be a little bit different looking tonight when trick-or-treating. He thinks he looks exactly like Captain Jack Sparrow!
