The building Continues

Look at that, the first floor is finished. Maybe we'll meet our October deadline to have the building weather-proofed. Because then the rains come, and perhaps snow by Halloween. I can remember many Halloween trick-or-treat nights when DS was smaller where it snowed. The first snow of the year. No amount of candy was worth wading through a blizzard to him, although I was always game.

I remember that DS and I had a lot of pre-Halloween arguments about snow friendly costumes. It seems that we always fought about footwear and outerwear. I was so relieved that Harry Potter came along; wizards wear shoes and warm capes. I made him wear a wizard costume (not the same one) five years straight. It was so much better than a ninja (black clothing on a dark night- ugh!) and wizards carried sparkeling, lit up easy-to-see in the dark wands.

So, hopefully the house will be zipped up by Halloween...or the trick is on us.
