Yes it's almost the end of September. What did we do yesterday? We went to the beach. That's just what people do in South Florida. My pale Irish/Italian skin doesn't always agree with the evil rays of the mighty sun but there's nothing wrong with a healthy dose of Vitamin D.
My baby boy looked like a chubby little porcelain doll with all the sunscreen I lathered on his little tootsie roll arms. But at least he enjoyed eating all the tasty sand...
I'm not a beach person. Never have been and never will be. I'd much rather go to a nice park and sit under a tree with my headphones on, buried in a book. But that's just me. My wife on the other hand loves the beach as well as my 3 year old. So for them I endure the hot sand and crashing surf.
Now that Sept. is coming to a close, we are rolling right into my favorite time of year. Halloween season baby! There is something about the colors, sights, sounds, and smells of Fall that energize me in a way that nothing can. Whenever I see a pumpkin, I immediately get taken to chilly nights with a whipping wind and the ethereal rustling of leaves. Of course in Florida, Fall has a much different climate so there will be none of that color changing foliage for me.
That makes me just a little sad inside.
On the plus side I am only 2 hours away from Universal Studios and their Halloween Nights. This year has a Walking Dead theme that I am overly giddy about.
Not only am I a huge over of all things metal, it should come as no surprise to anyone that my favorite types of movies are horror. I've had to tone down my selections as of late. No longer can I sit back and watch Cannibal Holocaust, Battle Royale, or Suspiria. At least not during family hours. But I've tried to ease my children into the genre by watching movies like Monsters Inc., The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Megamind. My 3 year old however is more obsessed with Thomas the Train and Dora than Jack Skellington and Sully.
There is hope for my 10 month old though who smiles when I put on Pantera...
