One good thing about the Vorkosigan Saga is that there's not a lot of drawn-out battle scenes, which I never much liked, because Miles physically can't fight very well, if at all.
I see people who offer potatoes & ramen for trick or treaters, and they say they're popular. Next year I'll do a Great Pumpkin theme & offer a bowl of rocks, to see how many kids choose them.
Bad news, Fifth-grader changed his mind. He wants a Snoopy pumpkin instead of a Misfits skull (good news for me, Snoopy is much easier!).
Martin and Lucky enjoy the backyard trampoline. Pomeroy is still suspicious of it, though. #31DaysofMartin
Explaining how some people don't carve a pumpkin but rather scrape off the skin so the candle inside will illuminate the flesh and I feel like Illuminate the Flesh would be a good band name.
Like a lot of kids, Martin wanted to be a paleontologist. But he never had a chance until now, when some friendly dinosaur ghosts mentioned where they were buried. #31DaysofMartin
I cut up a jalapeno like 2 hours ago & washed my hands multiple times since then, but I just rubbed my eye and it burns like hell so you know what? I am just going to go to bed. Good night.
Found these in the back of the car and was confused until the husband told me he found them on the windshield one day, figured I would like them but forgot to give them to me. I do like them 😄 #tonyalamo
Soooo...not entirely sure how I'm getting it to the trunk or treat, to be honest.
Fifth-grader: I want the pumpkin to be punk rock this year.

Me, designated pumpkin carver: LOL like a Misfits skull.

FG: Yes! I want a Misfits skull!

What have I done? 😅
Someone put a Christmas book on hold.

It's OCTOBER!! 😩
Martin briefly fell in with a bad crowd. But don't worry, he made sure Napoleon's jewels were returned to their rightful place. #31DaysofMartin
Fifth-grader has some drama llama tendencies. Sometimes he'll flip around and do this wailing moan (but like, ironically, I guess? But still stalling) if I tell him to do something he doesn't want to do.

So we have a new rule. If you're gonna wail, do it in a Waluigi voice. So it's funny at least.
Maybe Fifth-grader has a future as a pet portrait photographer. He caught Meryl today.
I dreamed that the husband and I went to a new cafe & the staff there was in a tizzy because they were having a surprise author signing. Then Neil Gaiman appeared and we both turned around and walked out lol
Dying doesn't mean you have to stop raiding with your boys, Martin was happy to find. #31DaysofMartin
"Kids are eating breakfast."
"All done and set up. And I boiled eggs while I did it lol"
She's a good-sized cat but the angle & the winter fur makes her look like she ate a pumpkin lol
Fifth-grader, trying his hand at photography on Milly.
Martin thought he'd get a kick out of running with the bulls. And he did...just not in the way he expected. #31DaysofMartin
I told you tonight's show was going to be insane.
One of my favorite genres of Internet videos is little babies getting glasses and being able to see well for the first time.
If I won the lottery, I wouldn't tell anyone, but there would be signs...
