Strange how that happens, eh? It's Thursday or Friday and you think "Wow, I have a whole weekend to recuperate..." and then out of the blue, it's MONDAY again.
Football recap - way to go Georgia. Good game, good game. And Texas, still number 1. And my friend Liam's Might Fighting Cardinals of Ball State are 8-0 - very impressive, Liam - what are they up to number 16 in the BCS points now? Congrats!
So, it's Halloween this Friday! When did that sneak up on us - I want to know. Cole wants to be an Army-man (Soldier) with camo and all. Carson, well, Carson told me she wants to be Hannah Montana but I think I'm going to veto that. How DO you dress a 3-year old as Hannah Montana, really? I think I'm going to be a 1989 prom queen. Complete with tacky polyester satin red dress (lace, ribbons AND sequins - and a bubble skirt with dyed-to-match satin pumps. And a tiara, of course.)
We're doing the downtown trick-or-treat (Thank you, local businesses...) and then home to make kettle corn and watch a Halloween movie, like Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin or something. I've been invited to a (grown-up) Halloween party, but there's no way I would find a sitter on Halloween, and I'm not sure I would really want to, anyway...
So. Still working on the meth lab case. Madness, I tell you - sheer madness. OK - so I want to know what everyone else is doing for Halloween...
1. Are you dressing up this year? As what?
2. Do you have trick-or-treaters at your house? What kind of candy do you give out?
3. Are you going to any fun spooky events? I went to the Haunted Caverns in Chatty last year - but nothing very fun or spooky this year...*sigh*
Where are my commenters?
ReplyDelete1. Are you dressing up this year? As what?
1989 prom queen. Side ponytail and all.
2. Do you have trick-or-treaters at your house? What kind of candy do you give out?
No. We live in the boonies - on a dark road. IF I had TOTers, I'd give out KitKats and tootsie rolls. Or Reese's pb cups.
3. Are you going to any fun spooky events? I went to the Haunted Caverns in Chatty last year - but nothing very fun or spooky this year...*sigh* I wish I could have found someone to go on the Scary Berry hayrides with me last weekend, but it was nasty weather - and muddy and all.
1.) We're going with a bug theme this year since AJ wanted to be a butterfly, so I'm the mama butterfly.
ReplyDelete2.) We may have a few, but we're on the outskirts of the campus so we'll go to the area with all the houses and trick-or-treat there. We may leave a bowl of candy on our front porch in case anyone comes by. We usually give out Reeses cups and something else chocolate like Kit Kat or Snickers.
3.) No, I'm way too chicken for that. We have trick-or-treating tomorrow for Parent's Morning Out at the Theology School and on Halloween night we'll probably have an impromptu party at a few people's houses along the way. I LOVE Halloween and I'm so excited because it seems people actually celebrate it here and it's such a small town that you can just wander around throughout the night to all the houses. I can't wait!
1) Am I dressing up? Probably not, if i do tho i will be a "nudist on strike" think about it.
ReplyDelete2) Trick-or-treaters. Yes! gosh we live in a nice neighborhood so they come in droves from town up here and "drop 'em off" litereally, I try to be gone or turn off the light, can't afford the sheer volume of candy. But when I do , it is usually kitkats.
3) No spooky here, only crazy...
I'm thinking I'll go as Sarah Palin... thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI think nudist on strike and Sarah Palin are perfect get-ups for Halloween ;) Cole is now going to be Optimus Prime and Carson...well Carson is really going to be Hannah Montana - God Help ME.
