Halloween and all in between


So, Halloween was a hit. Glee was so excited, and so many people at school said they didn't recognize her! That is the sign of a real costume. Be something you aren't! Thomas had a great time showing off his tracker made out of electrical tape, a box and foil. He was so proud to have a pen "just like dad uses." X brought one home JUST for him, and it was an important part of his costume, along with his cellphone. And he carried a FedEx box with a hole in it for collecting his candy. It was an awesome costume.



We passed out candy until it was gone, and we even went through the kids bags and took out the candy we didn't want them to have (that laffy taffy is the stuff of the devil, and lollipops all had to go). Some friends came over and the kids played in the dark, which was fun for them, with flashlights, and we played hide and seek and I jumped out and scared them a few times. It was fun. One of our friends, a boy with the same name as our boy, came dressed as a UPS man. I loved it.

Now today, I am waiting for about an hour to go vote. To make Obama our next president. To get over the election and move ahead to fix the economy and make the rest of the world realize we aren't bullies. I will be glad to not see any more election materials, and to not see anyone talking smack about anyone else on tv, at least for a little while.

I am glad people are voting and trying to use their rights as an American to speak their minds. Go, VOTE.
