NaNo Update 1 and Halloween

Okay, I'm 4,233 words in. I know, that's way more than I expected only a day and a half in. How did pull this off? Well, there's the fact that I've been planning this story out in my head for about a month, so I knew exactly where I wanted it to start. I've been itching to put it down on paper. Also, my husband is out of town, so my nights are pretty lonely, which makes it possible for me to stay up and write. And my oldest is out of school the rest of the week for parent/teacher conferences so I can stay up late without too many consequences. Nice! Unfortunately this means that the miraculous word count will significantly dwindle once next week rolls around. I also wanted to give a Halloween update.

Did you notice the picture? Yeah, we went as the Superhero Family! I was Super Woman (obvs), the husband was Captain America, my oldest little guy went as Spiderman, and my little little guy was Iron Man, while baby Princess went as Super Girl. (Which was cool since her outfit was pink, silver, and white while mine was the traditional Superman colors of red, blue, and yellow. More often than not people thought I was Wonder Woman.) All in all everyone loved our costumes and we had lots of fun. And the kids got enough candy to last them until Easter, the next big candy holiday that we celebrate in our home. Okay, that's all folks. Tell me, how's it going with you guys, if you're participating on NaNo? If not, I'd still love updates on what you're working on and what not. Other than that, I'll try to be back on Friday for a Friday Five post.
