Halloween

Hello, everyone. It's Halloween weekend! And also Parent Weekend! I am so relieved that all of my midterms are long gone and that I managed to pull out all A's and one B so far. We got this college thing! This weekend was Parent's weekend at University of Iowa, so Mom came up for Friday and Saturday on her days off to come visit, see the campus and just hang out. We went and saw the movie "Across The Universe", and I HIGHLY recommend that you all go see it immediately. It was fabulous, and my mom and I both shed a few tears. It's a musical like RENT, but entirely to Beatles songs. It was beautiful. The rest of Mom's time here consisted of shopping (groceries and some winter clothing - the GAP outlet outside Iowa City is probably the best discovery I've ever made in my life. Everything is 30-50% off) It was sad for her to go...but I'll see her in a month at Thanksgiving so I think she'll survive. I know it's hard having only boys at home now - she misses having all the girls around! This...is Swan's room mate. I just had to put this picture up because this is by far the most wonderful and humorous Halloween costume I have seen in years. Hamburger Helper! He made it entirely of a sheet, some red fabric, a marker, and a bunch of staples. It made my day, so I decided to share it with everyone. Happy Halloween everyone!
