It’s Halloween, it’s Halloween!

This morning a friend and I decided to “play” tennis at the court in my apartment complex.
She has a nursling. I have a nursling. She has a 3 year old. I have a 4 year old. Hence the “play”. As you can imagine, things didn’t go as envisioned.
Yes, the kids rode their little trikes all around the court happily. But the babies took turns being upset. So between nursing and shushing, we got in about 10 minutes of hitting the tennis ball back and forth. Not even enough time to warm up. It was fun though. Toward the end of our tennis time the babies were both satisfied and happy so we thought that we might have a chance at some decent tennis. That’s when my friend’s little girl Blondie decided to strip.
It happened in an instant. We hit the ball a few times and suddenly Blondie is running down the length of the court in naught but her skivvies. In full view of the building across the street. In 50 degree weather. So we called it quits. We tried to get some exercise, but sometimes…ok, most times, the kids just work against you whether they’re trying to or not.

In other news, the ladies at 5 Minutes for Mom are having another awesome giveaway. This time it’s for your choice of either a retro pedal car or a suitcase style portable record player, courtesy of Pedal Cars and Retro Collectibles!

And finally, I hope everyone has a safe and SPOOKtacular Halloween! (What? I couldn’t help myself)

I’m sorry tennis didn’t go well… but sometimes it’s just good to get out and be with a friend for awhile! :) Happy Halloween!!

My 16yo used to love escaping the house in his undies and running down the street as fast as he could. He was 2-3 at the time. We had to put a second lock on the front door high enough up that he could not get near it, even with a step stool. Hmmmm, I think I will remind him of little nekkie running man today……….muahahahaha.

“In naught but her skivvies”, I love it. You DO belong in London.
Happy Halloween!
