It&#8217;s supposed to be mild but will still be in the 30&#8217;s and 40&#8217;s in our seats which are in the shade for most of the game. This morning we&#8217;re carving pumpkins because tomorrow is the big day and we just won&#8217;t have time after school. We have 4 to carve which is 1 less than we had yesterday. Our rancher friends from Encampment Wyoming were down in Brighton ordering up a half a dozen saddles and tack for our friends ranch (where they work) and then came by for some dinner and a visit before making the 3 hour drive back home. The boys were all excited to play with Dali, their 3 year old daughter, but it turns out she stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa who are visiting from Hawaii for a month. Anyhow our oldest decided he&#8217;d send 1 of his pumpkins home with them for their little girl. How nice is that! We also sent along a pumpkin and ghost cookie that we bought for her as we thought she&#8217;d be here. From Saratoga to Denver (the closest big town to where they live, if you can call Saratoga a big town) \u00c2\u00a0and back in a day, is a long drive.<\/p>\n<p>The boys were outside for most of the day while the misses cleaned up in the morning while I ran some errands. As you know, tomorrow is the big day. There&#8217;s a parade in the morning at school, then the kids have parties in their classrooms and once home, it&#8217;ll be a rush to get their homework done so they can go trick or treating. I don&#8217;t know about you but I can remember vivid details of a lot of Halloweens when I was a kid. They sure are good memories. Let&#8217;s play a little game, think back to when you were a kid and let&#8217;s all post a comment about your favorite costume. I&#8217;ll then include them all tomorrow so we can all see each others favorite memory. Don&#8217;t let me down now, it&#8217;s not hard to post at all. If you need help or just can&#8217;t do it, call us and tell us your favorite and we&#8217;ll get it in.<\/p>\n<p>The oldest is still sleeping while the youngest is reading the toy catalog&#8217;s that came in the morning paper. I&#8217;m going to sign off now as I need another cup of joe to offset the few adult beverages I had last night. I might try to get to the gym as well as I haven&#8217;t been in a while. Hope you all are doing well, let&#8217;s hear from you on your costume, I know you all have one! Take care and God Bless,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today we&#8217;re heading to the Broncos Lions game which starts at 2pm.
