Happy Halloween

Well, boooooo.  I really blew it this year.  For some reason I just couldn't get into Halloween.  Normally, I love it.  Love the costumes, love giving out candy, love dressing up, going to parties, having a party...all of it!

Since I haven't worked in 10 months, I just didn't feel right about throwing a party this year and spending all that money.  We also had some schedule conflicts with Monkey and her dad.  She ended up being with him the night we would have had her party, so we just decided not to have it.  I was relieved at first, then sad.  I felt a little like a bad mom, depriving them of their fun.   Well...we will all get over it and look forward to next year.

We did, however, carve some pretty killer pumpkins!  See?

We had a great time carving and that's about all we're doing this year.  No other decorating, no trick-or-treating (which Monkey has never really done or liked so no big loss), not even handing out candy this year.  At least she went to the House of Torment.  I've already promised to make up for it next year. 

Hope YOU have a very Happy Halloween!  :o)
