annissamazingSo, yeah, my unrealistic to-do list was unrealistic. I still got a lot of stuff done and I did take care of all the important things! (I also got called in for emergency storm work for 4 hours, but what can you do?)
I ordered Dominic's cake instead of making it myself. He was a tad disappointed until I told him who would be making it for him. He adores the ladies who decorate cakes at our local grocery store and they were thrilled to make his cake for him. He was very pleased with it.
We went Trick-or-Treating twice this weekend. Our neighborhood shindig was on Saturday and then we went to Kent with a friend on Sunday and did some more. My neighborhood is inhabited by a bunch of Halloween scrooges so we didn't get much on Saturday and Sunday was absolutely miserable weather-wise: cold, windy, and rainy. Nevertheless, Dominic got an amazing haul.
I had a little birthday party for him on Sunday night. I invited my in-laws, Dominic's friend Gianna, and Gianna's mother (and my good friend) Michelle. We had pizza, cake, and for an activity, I had Dominic and Gianna decorate the rice krispie treats for Dominic's classroom birthday party and Cub Scouts Halloween party (both being held today). I'm pretty smug about this because it needed to be done and I was rapidly running out of time.
Dominic's Primary program went really well. He was adorable and he did his line perfectly. They had an older kid standing next to the podium to help the little kids with their lines. Dominic whispered (quite loudly), "I know it!" and then rattled it off and marched back to his seat. Adorable! I asked him later if liked speaking in front of everybody and his eyes got big and he shook his head solemnly. I'm so proud of him! He had really bad stage fright and yet delivered his line clearly, loudly, and perfectly.
I also managed to get my paper almost written. It still needs a concluding paragraph, and then needs to be edited, but that is not a bad start. My online French homework needs attention, but shouldn't take too long. My lab is nearly complete. I just need to add in the rest of the background stars in my sketch and scan it in. I never did get around to watching the rest of the lecture about Pluto and the Kuiper belt. Perhaps I can do it on Wednesday...
