Hi everyone! We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.
I have a lot of thankfuls this week. My mom and I got to spend the day with the kids on Friday. Here is one of the videos of their escape room house.
Also, thankful that the girls stayed home sick (not that sick) so we got to spend the day with them again.
The Great One’s school is putting on the musical, Annie which happens to be my all-time favorite. The Great One tried out wanting a small part and she ended up being chosen as Annie.
Today is brought to you by the letter H for The A-Z Blogging Challenge . H is for Happy the octopus and for Halloween which as you all know is my favorite holiday.
Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.














Oh my, that looks like a super cute video, Ellen! I couldn’t play all the sound because the hubs is napping … Just love the Halloween poster, too, and the octopus 😎 cool! XO
Thank you. Yes, the noise would have woken your hubby- the kids are so loud. 🙂 XO
What a fun life with those kids around and how fantastic to be chosen as Annie oh my cod!!! I would love to hear her sing!
Thank you. I will try to get a video. XO

I loved being in the room with all of you…so to speak! Enjoyed hearing everyone and Ben was feeling left out, wasn’t he? I probably would have asked him if he wanted to play cars while the girls were busy. I’m used to boys. 🙂 This was a fun fun video!!! And Happy was out! I don’t remember seeing Happy over a year.
What a wonderful day you all had!

My great-nephew was just in a school play.
I remember that I was in two plays in elementary school; an ancient Greek tragedy, and Cinderella!
With the mention of Halloween, now I’m thinking about candy again…*eyeroll*
I hope you got to go see him. 🙂
Charlee: “Wow, congratulations to The Great One on being chosen as Annie! I’m guessing that’s an important character since the musical is named after her!”
Chaplin: “I think Dennis used to have that same octopus stuffie, or at least, one a lot like it! Until something bad happened to it …”
Thank you. Yes, it is. 🙂
