Reunited For A Day With Casper

This week dragged on pretty slowly, considering Zach was gone in Vegas until Wednesday.  I kept myself busy catching up on laundry, cleaning the house, and reading my new book.  Thursday was the only whole day we spent together (and technically that isn’t accurate because we both were at work) before I left for the weekend.

I spent Friday, Saturday, and Sunday up in Park City with some girl friends.  It was heavenly, and so relaxing that I didn’t even remember to take one picture.  The only motivation to come back home was to see Zach!

When I got home Sunday night, we left quickly to go up to Ogden for the annual Henderson Pumpkin Carving Night.  This year was a little unique.  For Easter Zach dresses as the Easter Bunny.  His parents recently purchased him a Thanksgiving Turkey costume as well, so that will become a tradition.  But this Halloween, Zach was asked to dress up as a “Nice Ghost”.  So while I was gone over the weekend, Zach and his parents shopped for the only ghost costume they could find.

Here he is, my spooky spouse…

I was worried at first that the kids would be terrified.  The plan was made by Zach’s dad, Mark:  the kiddies were each given a little laser pointer/flashlight and were all going to go hunting for ghosts!  Zach was hiding in the backyard.  It ended with him running through Mark and Jeanene’s backyard with a million minis following him.

Here is the whole crew (minus Addie, Connor, Aiden, Charlie, and Frankie) – with Zach in the center.  I am sure most of them figured out it was uncle Zach, but for the youngest ones…it was awesome!  Notice the “Ghost Finders” on their fingers…

Last but not least, Family night last night!

Zach won a gift certificate to Winger’s at a golf tournament, and begged me to go there for dinner for Family Night.  I despise Winger’s, but agreed to celebrate his winnings with him.  After our delicous meal we went to a movie down in Salt Lake, at the theater on 3300 S.  I don’t know if it was something he ate, or the pure excitement of getting a free meal…but Zach was CRAZY.  He was yelling/rapping in line for his popcorn and in the  theater.  Then he would NOT stop talking about the new Pixar movie, Puss in Boots (which is not currently playing in theaters.)  I swear he talked about if for 30 minutes.  I couldn’t believe how wild he was, it was like he was all hopped up on candy!  When he told me he wanted to go to the bathroom before the movie started, I was a bit relieved…thinking maybe he needed a moment to simmer down.  10 seconds after I saw him disappear out of the theater, I got a picture message of the movie poster for Puss and Boots and could hear him laughing from outside the theater.  He was seriously OBSESSED.  Maybe it was the immature 12-year-old in him that kept saying “Puss” thinking it was hilarious…I couldn’t tell you!

I love Zach so much, he is such a good sport.  Not only with his family and their hilarious activities, but with his crazy Winger’s hating wife.  I’m glad to have him back, but only to kiss him goodbye on Friday for a long hunting trip.  (Remind me why I love October again…?)  I’m glad I have several fun dinner dates planned to keep me occupied.

Please pray my husband doesn’t shoot himself or any member of his family.  Also please pray he doesn’t shoot an animal so I won’t have to see it hanging in our garage as a prize.
