I guess I need to post about Halloween?
Y’all know I hate Halloween. But it’s still holiday so I
have an obligation to say something about it right?
Well this year..we are leaving on a family vacation the
day after!!! So that is all I really care about. Going to the beach..where we
belong in mind and spiritJ
No candy giving out, no decorations, nada. Am getting totally out of this –and I am
thrilled about this.
Kids are going out as usual. Our house is fun 364 days
around here and all the friends like coming and chilling here –but somehow on
Halloween-they never show up. I wonder why?
Chase is a penguin. One of 15 of the graduating class.
Very very cute and I think the first year since he was 5 yrs old that he
actually seems to be excited about dressing up. And one of the first years in a
decade he is not attempting to wear a cardboard box on his head before a last
minute pain attack prevents him and he
goes out or to school with no costume.
Beauty is no shock here-a (sexy) cat. Apparently all the “cool”
girls at school are (sexy) cats as they get to show off their hot bods one day
of the year since always covered in uniforms. So black legging-black tank top
and a headband on her head which looks slightly like a cat. And no brace
today!!! I mean who can be a sexy cat with a brace on the whole body???
Bear has no clue what he will be or where he is going.
Tonight he declared he might wear a Santa hat on his head. I think at this age
it is a little uncool to like Halloween so he is deciding to not really like
it. By Chase’s age he is over that and so ok to dress up I guess?
Beauty trick or treating with other cool sexy new cat friends
Chase has 4 parties to choose from and has no clue which
one yet.
Bear-I have no clue! He seems to be behind a bit these
days…..I think his girlfriends is dazing him out a bit. Apparently he is going
to watch the hockey game at a friends and I bet he will come home with a sack
of candy.
Anyways when the clock sticks midnight they have to be
home as plane tomorrow morning!!!
(Bittersweet as so excited but also very sad as my Mom is
not well enough to come-more posts on this later. She will stay at our house-but she will be
sooooooooooooooooooooooo missed. This really really sucks but trying to not let
it ruin our vacation either)
PS-last night we had a bit of a send off for our trip dinner (aka impromptu
the kids each invited their girlfriends and friends for a dinner they asked my husband
to come home early from work and make!!) of course we agreed and did it and it
and so so much fun. (All of us around
our small little round table eating mashed potatoes and hamburger steak and veggies
and I brought Halloween candy from work as a treat.
Twice in the evening the boys in front of their girlfriends
asked me to come and give them a hug and said I love you. I felt like the
luckiest mom on earth! I think them try to impress their girlfriends with their
motherly affection. All of their friends hugged my mom tight and told her to
feel better. She was slightly well enough
to come and say goodbye and chaperone the boys and girls for me before I got
home from work-has been in her house 7
days alone and looks like more time she will have to continue thisL(
The four of us gave my Mom each
little symbols and objects for the week we are gone for her to hang onto
since we were all supposed to be together this week on a special trip. And now
we won’t be. Seeing those kids with their Didi and how close even their friends
are to my Mom was so touching for me. God she is so loved…and she deserves it.
You
know what Mom? We did good Mom..we built this village ..together.
So Happy Halloween I guess? I guess this is the right thing
to say?
You can tell me..Bon Voyage!!!
