Halloween Night

Hi all my dear ones! Guess you're all either going with your kids trick-or-treating or answering the door. I'm answering the door tonite. Princess was home last year and she loves Halloween. She loves seeing the little kiddos all dressed up. Scuse me..... A little two-year old glow-in-the-dark skeleton! Very cute~~~ Princess and some of her friends are having their own Halloween party tonight at their townhouse. She's going to be a safari hunter (who'd have thought...)

I have Twix, Snickers, Bubble Gum in ooky colors that slimes you when you bite it, candy Dracula fangs with blood oozing out (I tried to get what my kids would have liked), Skulls & Bones tart candy, and some other Chocolate stuff, oh yeah, Tootsie Pops. The kids so far LOVE the Dracula teeth! One of my best Halloween memories as a kid was - my friend down the street, well, her daddy worked at Sunbeam bakery. On Halloween, he'd bring home little tiny loaves of fresh bread in tiny little wrappers. They were so cute and they smelled heavenly! We had to go to the Biggs' house FIRST to make sure they didn't run out of bread before we got there. Then we'd hoard our bread loaf and just take a bite or two at a time to make it last!

It's been a long week at work. Since we now have a new office manager, he's keeping me pretty busy re-organizing, re-arranging, re-filing, you name it. I have to admit that he's doing a really good job - very kind, upbeat guy, and he's going to get our office whipped into shape - it's just making me have lots more work to do. I guess when we get all the kinks worked out and it's running like he wants it to, then things will settle down and we'll operate like a well-oiled machine. I've been swamped. Almost too tired when I get home to do anything to my house. I just wanna fall down on the couch and not do anything.

Margo and I wound up at a neat Estate/Barn sale last weekend. I found a couple of cool items, and she did, too. As we went into the house, there was this neat arbor all grown up with different ivys. It was pretty neat, still had some flowers on it.

Tomorrow, we are going to my sister's house a couple of hours away. Her son is about to go into the Navy and she's having a combination Going-Away, Thanksgiving, Christmas party for him and we'll all be there. She's even doing a Thanksgiving dinner. THat's what he wanted. Hope to show you some photos of our get-together later. I think Mom and Dad are riding with us.

My DH is beginning to have problems with sciatica. He's never had any health problems at all since we've been married. It's really bothering him, not sure whether it's the pain or the thought of actually having a health problem. I think THAT is what is really bugging him. He likes to brag to people that he's been so healthy all his life and that he never even had childhood shots. (Of course he did - he just likes to mouth off). He's always accused the rest of us of being sickly weaklings. Guess I can tell him he's joined the ranks of sickly weakling now!
