I don’t think I did. Last year I signed up to do NaBloPoMo and I did it again this year. Basically what this means for you is that I will be posting something to this blog every day in November. Every day. Every single day. Even if I have absolutely nothing worth saying. Which means some days you will get nice posts with photos and stories, some days you’ll get some funny snippets of conversations, and some days you may get stuck with me whining about how I have nothing interesting to write about and yet I must write something because I said I would. Doesn’t that sound fun? Of course it does! And if my daily post is boring as all hell, you can go to that site I just linked and check out the randomizer to find something else to read.
So! Halloween was awesome. Breanna had a fever on the 30th and still had a low grade fever at 7 am but then it broke and she was her normal self so we all got to go out trick-or-treating with some friends. Breanna managed to remain calm enough to wear her pumpkin costume.
Hayley was thrilled with her Orca costume and was even more thrilled when we were walking along and she bumped into a little boy from her class. They were so cute and the way they kept laughing and hooting together was awesome.
As for me, I dressed up as myself before I have my cup of coffee in the morning.
HA! Just kidding. I dressed up in last year’s Hermione Granger costume but since I have somewhat shorter hair than I did back then, I wore a witch hat too. Mostly because I just can’t seem to make myself go out without dressing up at least a little (though not as elaborate as the year I dressed my pregnant belly up as a fishbowl).
We got an obscene amount of candy which is good because that means we get to hide it, dole out a more reasonable number of goodies, and George and I can pork out and eat the rest ourselves. As it is, I already ate several tiny chip bags and this morning I ate five mini chocolate bars with my toast for breakfast.
Who says trick-or-treating is for the kids? It’s actually for the parents of the kids who are too old to go trick-or-treating themselves.
Back home we always got a TON of little chip bags on Halloween. Here in TX, they never give out chips. It’s mostly chocolate bars or little candies. I tell Doug about the chips back home and he thinks it sounds really weird to give out bags of chips for halloween. Then when I told him about cans of pop too, I think he officially thinks my home town is a little whacked!
