Now that all the busy excitement from the wedding has passed, I am looking forward the next big event, HALLOWEEN! I have always loved Halloween and worn a costume almost every year since I was old enough to trick or treat. It was a very sad day when I was too old to go trick or treating, but it's great when your old enough to buy your own candy and you can get your favorites.
After the Boy came along, I would dress up with him and take him trick or treating. He didn't care much for most of the candy, so I got a lot of leftovers. Even though he is now away at college, I still feel the need to decorate. I can't tell you how many times today the Murph said, "What's all the decorating for?? We don't have any kids here!" (as he was helping me hang the lights)
The skeleton below is called "Mr. Bones". He's been hanging around every Halloween since the Boy was a toddler. His screws are more than a little rusty.
The black kitty below is a fairly recent purchases.
All I need is a couple of bags of my favorite candy to go in the trick or treat bowl. We probably won't get too many trick or treaters around here. Most of the kids have grown and gone away to college like the Boy and the Girl have. Sad!!
I was thinking that The Murph and I should get some Halloween costumes this year and have a party. The Murph says the wedding is enough for now! I have to agree...
Oh well, there's always the "annual" Christmas party. Can't wait!
