unfathomable

thunder bummer

It's a track meet day for Princess Fifi...... she's running the 800 meter dash.

We're at the SE Albuquerque public school stadium

Cookie and Sweetheart packed a blanket and a bag of sippy drinks, fruit, granola and nuts.

They were very prepared for the meet as they waited for Fifis event to come up.

But within 15 minutes after the meet began; a thunderstorm moved into the area.

Thunderstorms are very common in New Mexico. Often times without rain--just thunder and lightening.

The meet was put on safety alert as the athletes were moved into the gym.

The spectators were asked to evacuate the stadium and to wait in their vehicles.

After a little over 30 minutes the thunderstorm eventually moved on but then the fierce winds moved in.

The meet was cancelled

It's good to go home.... warm.... dinner.... safe (yeah)

seasonal stuff........... oh my

What did we see when we went to the store today?

Halloween decorations along side Thanksgiving autumn decor.

Yes, Halloween is just around the corner. 

This stuff excites the kids and the kid in me.

We love Halloween: dressing up, parties, celebrations, happiness.

Afterall, this does officially kick off the holiday season for us.

--Halloween-(Thanksgiving)Autumnal Equinox-Christmas--

Its all wrapped up in a nice little bundle at the end of the year.

And this is what we saw..........

Creepy 3-D skeleton wall hangings

This ghoul isn't so creepy with a price tag stuck on his forehead

The skull isn't as scary as the price........

A sniveling nail biting clown

stranger danger...........

This is what President Obama would look like with a goatee

Bodiless head scared us right out of the store...................eeekkk

Next week the Christmas stuff hits the stores.............now that's scary !!!
