Well ghost and goblins will be out in full force tonight and jacked up on sugar. Hard to believe that it is Halloween already. That only means that I can "officially" put up my Christmas tree tomorrow and not be laughed at. Yes I know I am weird, but what can I say. But if the retailers can do it, then so can I!
As for Halloween, this is probably the second day of the year that most kids spend the whole year waiting on. The idea of dressing up and getting all the candy you possibly could want is a dream for almost any kid. We don't really do the Halloween thing very well, I personally don't like the day. Yeah I know, bad parent. There is a function at the mall being put on by our local christian radio station called "take back the night" with all kinds of things to do, we may go and take the three younger ones to that. We already did "Boo at the Zoo!" two weeks ago, Nathan went as a reporter/sketch artist, Noah was a pirate and Sara was a girraffe and they had a great time. Nathan's main goal is "the one with the most candy wins", Noah is at that stage where everything is 'scary', so he is a little hesitant about all these people in costumes and Sara, poor girl just doesn't have a clue yet. I will be sure to post some pictures later. Jonathan is going to a lock in at our church (http://www.chilhoweehills.org/index.php) for the teens, he will be up all night, if he makes it throug the night without sleeping, I'm sure he will crash tomorrow morning. I am on call tomorrow, so we will see how my luck plays out!
October is almost over and the next thing you know we will be in the full swing of the holidays. This year is going to be different. How? Well due to a new holiday work schedule, for the first time in seven years I will be able to travel out of town to visit my husbands family for the Thanksgiving holiday. I'm excited because there will be so many of us there. At least 23 of us...talk about one big turkey!
