from Halloween 2002's Lance the Builder...
...to last year's Scarecrow Troy.If necessity is the mother of invention, then desperation is a missing hard hat before sundown at Halloween.And salvation is yellow construction paper and a beanie.C. ViewLance had been bugging me to get a Darth Vader costume since my LILLIAN VERNON catalog came in the mail. Good thing our neighborhood WalMart had a cheaper version, so tonight he went home happy. Troy, who had his heart set on an Imperial Clone Trooper costume, was somewhat disappointed that WalMart didn't carry it. Luckily, my savvy husband was able to convince him to be Batman instead.My boys came home with their treasures, proudly modeling them for Mommy and gamely posing for pictures. And then they trooped to the family room bearing their Batman chairs for another Sereno family tradition...MOVIE NIGHT!Tonight's Double Feature: "STAR WARS: Episode 6" and "Batman Forever".
Accessorized accordingly.
WEEKEND WARRIORS: LAKERS
Sorry for the silence.I won't even bore you with details, which are mostly mundane anyway.But it was bound to happen eventually. With the kids growing up and my family taking on more activities, I knew the day would come.
The day when the mechanics of everyday living finally came head-to-head with my blogging.
And living won. Hands down.But blogging is never far from my mind. And, as my family crosses each milestone and bequeaths each new experience to memory, I wil continue to file everything in my mental computer, our stories lying dormant until I breathe new life into them again.
When I finally find the time.
But for now, since I am well aware of my weakness for procrastination, I have decided to post tangible reminders of our weekend sorties as soon as they happen, to keep those memories fresh for future use.
My initial offering: our last two weekends at the lake.
So begins a new feature in this blog, which I will call "Weekend Warriors". A series of photo montages featuring our forays for the weekend, with text to follow later.
When I finally find the time.
