Happy Halloween kids, now join the dark side

The neat thing about working at a children's hospital is that they have fun little events on the holidays. Take today for example, as I turned the corner who should appear, but Darth Vader wielding a light saber accompanied by Princess Leigha herself. We exchanged pleasantries but I had my eye on him the whole time. That is all. (I had a really good joke about light sabers but Molly made me remove it...as usual she is probably right.)

That wonderful post-call feeling

I think my favorite part about being on call is working for 24 hours straight and then as a reward you get to work for 6 more hours. Then you get to drive home half asleep as the fog of excessive tiredness descends over your brain and the faint nausea comes helping to keep you awake. Awwww, medicine..

Pre-Halloween Shenanigens

First there is the ever popular pumpkin carving which always starts out very promising but usually ends with me regretting the whole thing. The best part of the it was when Sadie said "I think I'm gonna hurl." She actually had to leave the house and go outside to get some fresh air. What is Ana doing in the meantime? Squeezing the pumpkin guts in her hands making that squishy sound with this maniacal look on her face. We then tried to bake the pumpkin seeds, but lets just say it didn't go very well and leave it at that. That is all.



My other amazing Halloween creation was the Pumpkin hat of superiority. This was made for Ana's school. She wasn't too excited with the idea of it, but loved the finished product. I made all the other kids hats look like they were...well, made by 4 year olds.


We tried something new this year and made a Halloween house out of graham crackers which was a great way to eat old stale candy. And although we wouldn't make the cover of Martha Stewart we had a good time and only spilled the purple sprinkles too many times.

Purpose of this blog

As I sit here with nothing to do at the moment, I will try my hand at blogging again. I will try to be humorous but I will in all reality only put something on this blog about once a week or month with actually very little humor. I hope you enjoy.
