Rod's been very busy the past couple of weeks with work, traveling to College Station to get a local project kicked off. I admit, operating in a pseudo-single parent mode is difficult. My Mom came over on Saturday to watch the kids while Rod and I went out to dinner and a movie. The kids are wearing their new Halloween shirts that Nana got them. Evelyn spent part of the day in her sequin-pumpkin shirt, purple shorts, and knee-high black boots "because I thought this would look good."
