Happy Halloween!!!!

I can't believe another Halloween is here. It seems like just yesterday it was summer....oh, wait....it is always summere here! LOL....truthfully though, we have had the most wonderful weather here lately. Of course, I just took a gander at the seven day forecast and....appropriately enough, it was quite scary. We are looking at high 70's with a chance for 84 on Saturday. Yuck.

I'm not sure what the plan is for this evening. Every year we go to my mom's to trick or treat, and then enjoy a chili supper afterward. However, this year wee one wants to trick or treat with the kids in the neighborhood. I hope that mom will be okay with that, and come here for the chili. I know she wants to be home part of the time to give out the candy she bought....although she could just empty the candy into a bowl and have the kids serve themselves. We don't get many kids here at our house. Since we are on a cul-de-sac, and there are no other streets in our neighborhood, the kids tend to skip us altogether, and head out to neighborhoods with more houses. Which, of course, means lots of extra candy for us!

I feel bad because wee one's class did not plan anything for today. No party or "autumn activity"....we must be politically correct here.....for the kids to enjoy. See what happens when I'm not in charge? LOL....wee one told me that they would have a much better time if I had "signed the sheet before that woman did!" I told her I was across the room at orientation when the room mother sheet was passed around....but apparently she thought I should have taken a running start and dived for it across the room. LOL....oh well.

Betsy had a great time at her Halloween party on Saturday night. She said that there was a great turnout. One of her best friends was hosting the party, and her dad allowed the girls to decorate however they wanted. They had tombstones and balloons, and candy galore. They watched scary movies and the dad even made steamed oysters! The kids dressed up, and apparently Betsy was a hit as Daria. Of course, she failed to take her camera....grrrrr....but said that her friend took pictures. I will post them when she gets a copy. I'm glad that they got to do this. It was one of those fun "teen" parties I remember as a kid. And props to the single dad who hosted it....he is of the belief that the kids should enjoy their teen years, and does what he can to make it happen. Obviously, Betsy won't be trick or treating tonight. She will probably be the designated "candy hander outer"....

Okay, I'm off to clean this scary mess of a house....seems as though the dirt devils were out this weekend....Have a SPOOKTACULAR Halloween!!!!
