Gah! Halloween is just about two weeks away. How did that happen?!?
I'm going through the yearly struggle to overcome my un-craftiness to become crafty for one month. I committed to making the kids' costumes from scratch when Benny was four and when we were out of hand-me-down costumes. This year, he wants to be a black ninja. I need to find some black pants, a long black shirt, a red sash and some sort of head dress. Not to mention some homemade throwing stars. Pretty easy. Especially considering that Benny started out wanting to be a Lego man. Cool, but damn hard to make.
Lila, on the other hand can be a dinosaur or a super girl. She's not sure which one yet. Luckily, we have both of those costume on hand. Easy breasy.
Expect a Halloween report out by Christmas (and maybe sooner, if you're lucky).
Also, I feel like I would be a total jerk if I didn't share this chocolate cake recipe with you all. Holy hot damn. This is the most amazing moist chocolate cake I've ever made. Ever. I've made it twice in three weeks. We never have dessert so the kids are totally digging my obsession.
I've been off the bike for a few days thanks to a vacation (although I managed to ride in Los Angeles a bit) and my bike has been in the shop. I have enjoyed the break because it's forced me to walk places. And I do like to walk - I just don't do it as much any more. Feels good.

Hmmm - chocolate -I'm afraid to look!
I'm a little green with envy about the Ninja costume. My two boys THOUGHT they wanted to be "ghosts" and I was rubbing my hands with glee and doing a little dance (TOTALLY EASY-PEASY)! Then they (both) changed their minds to "owls." Oh. Um. Really? Are you sure??? Ghosts are fun, too!
