Although great joy has been had through out this election cycle. It has brought with it a temporary widow-hood. H's job has been completely NUTS the last 3-4 weeks especially. OK, it was crazy through the primary season also...just not like this. And it was wacko when we were supposedly on a vacation in September. But that just means that H didn't take any vacation time for the vacation. Let's just say that after Tuesday evening, I'll be married again. YEA! Can I register at Macy's? Will anyone send cards, money or gifts? Can we go on another honeymoon? How fun would that be?!
Believe it or not, we ditched trick or treating this year. HOW on EARTH did I manage that? Well my brother & sister in-law had a party. H worked & I took the kiddies outta town. They partied down. K1 was a baby. Not much of a stretch for her at times. K2 was a pirate. He's been acting like one for over a year. K3 refused costume. But she did wear a cute black & orange owl Halloweenie shirt. We did run into town to walk through the local nursing home & elderly apartments. Old and young alike love that - and Great Grandma got to brag to her friends. Good deal all around. Kids loved seeing the grandparents dressed up too. Grandpa was 'the sheriff', and Grandma was a hobo. What was I? I ripped off K2's hat and was a train conductor. I pulled out my 'ol maternity overalls & stuffed a pillow in there. I guess I didn't really look like a fat old guy - just a prego chica w/a hat! Oh well. That's what you get w/a late notice! It was fun, even if the kids freaked out at other people's costumes. They don't even like walking down the isles at Target where the Halloween stuff is. But they did stare a lot. I told them - if you don't like it - DON'T LOOK. For cryin' out loud, it isn't that complicated. But they couldn't help themselves. Crazy kiddies. But really the food was all the craze. It was good stuff - it just LOOKED disgusting. My fave was the cat litter cake...complete with tootsie roll turds! Jeez did that look like the real thing....ewwwwwww!
