Happy Halloween!!!!

Hello again friends and family!

The last 2 weeks were busy busy busy! Hannah had the pleasure of working 1o days worth of 10 hour shifts in a row plus 2 nights of on call during the week and 28 hours of additional on call on the weekend. What does that all mean? It hopefully means a great paycheck, but it also means she was EXHAUSTED beyond belief. Unfortunately it also meant that we missed the doggie costume contest and parade in downtown Fresno (bummer!...) Maybe next year.

Nick was also pretty busy as interviews started coming out of the woodworks. But - in case you haven't heard yet - he FINALLY GOT A JOB!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! He starts at GameStop this coming Friday. He also had interviews at AppleBees and a second interview tomorrow at Macaroni Grill, so it's possible he might be rocking the 2 job thing through the holidays.

The weekend so far for us has been low key. We wanted to go camping (But couldn't leave town due to Nick's interviews) so we improvised and pitched the tent in the living room! Yessiree - it barely fit, but we did it! We popped popcorn, bought some wine and had a Halloween movie extravaganza. Over 2 days we ended up watching such classics as Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the movie, not the show), The Witches, Midnight Meat Train, and even a few episodes of the Munsters. Saturday was one of Nick's interviews so he didn't dress up at all - but Hannah revived an old classic and dressed as Pippi Longstocking! (We only took a picture on the cell phone so we don't have one to post). But fear not - Nick got a little festive! He was an innocent bystander while Hannah was painting her nails and ended up with PUMPKIN TOE! (see photo below) hehe. We didn't have a party to go to at all (surprise surprise) but our friend Erin invited us over to pass out candy as she wouldn't be able to since she's a night shift nurse. Her neighborhood is pretty hoppin' around Halloween, so it was nice to have something to do and to see all the cute kids dressed up. There were a lot of Star Wars characters, princesses, and super heroes. It was fun -we can't complain!We filled our gumball machine with candy corn (we had black and orange M&Ms but we ate them too quick)

This toe is to make up for the fact that we were too busy to carve actual pumpkins this year!

Today (Sunday) we decided to hop in the car and see where the road East took us (we've been North and West already - but not East!) There's lots of lakes and small mountain towns up that way and we found the closest ski resort to us too - so Nick can get ready to snowboard once again. Otherwise the rest of our day was spent doing boring adult stuff like cleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping (BORING!).

And one of our favorite pictures of the week of Echo and Geo. Poor Echo gets tired of bunking with a smelly dog - so we occasionally catch him in the act of giving Geo a bath! He mostly licks Geo's head - we guess that's the worst part to Echo.

We hope you all had a great Halloween and we hope to hear from you soon!
