Don't have much to say, I just haven't really updated in awhile, so I thought I'd say hello.

We did our "Macbeth" scene on Saturday at the Collingswood Book Festival - went well. It was fun and my husband did a good job as Macbeth, so well done him. We had a great time, my fellow 'sisters' and I, playing the witches. It really attracted children's attention, especially all the ingredients we had for our caldron.

Oh, I almost forgot. During the summer Charlie was doing this 'treasure hunt' with the liberary. Every week we would check out some books, and he would get a stamp on his map. Every two stamps he would get a little prize - bookmark, whatever. He really enjoyed it, and it got him interested in some books, so that was nice. At the end of the contest we turned in the map, and there was supposed to be a drawing or something at the book festival.

I'd completely forgotten about it, and late in the afternoon, we were walking around in our Rennisance garb, as requested, and wandered into the children's section where I saw, much to my surprise, Charlie's name on the list of winners! He got a copy of the Collingswood version of Monopoly.

I've been watching this British show called Afterlife. It's really good. Really dark, but really good. It's sort of like "The Ghost Whisperer" but not stupid and not schmaltzy. And it stars Whatshisname, the guy who was in love with Keira Knightly in Love Actually.


Charlie's Halloween Costume

I'd like to point out I made this costume, but I'd be lying. My friend Kim, who is amazingly talented, did. She'd made it for her daughter ages ago and offered it to Charlie. He loves it. It's a knight, in case you can't tell.
