Hi Friends!
No school today but doesn't mean I have the day off as well. Gotta head to the lab before 8.30 am, an H from now. Thought I'd share you a recipe while I have the wifi 😁
Happy Friday to you btw!
We have decided for Halloween this year we won't be giving out sweets nor school supplies. In fact, we also didn't put up any decorations. The boys will go out with the father, I will stay at home, however, I can't afford opening door for the trick or treaters and catch a cold or anything. Too close to surgery date.
My youngest is pretty sad without decorations and us spoiling strangers kids, but yeah, he understands (he said). Next year we will get back to it 😊
