Halloween, 2008

Man, it seems like we did a ton of Halloween-oriented stuff these past few days.  On Wednesday the kids carved their pumpkins, then Mike's mom came over and we all went to our church's Harvest Festival for supper and a carnival.  I have to tell you the embarrassing thing that happened to me there, though.  We'd been there a couple hours and we were having a good time.  The kids played lots of games and I won a cake...well, actually a box of Cinnabons, which is even better...in a cake walk, but finally it was about time to go home.  I found Mike talking to some other guy and I started walking over to him to ask if he was ready to leave.  The only thing is that I was walking and talking to Mike's mom at the same time and so I wasn't paying really close attention to what I was doing.  I got to Mike and put my hands around his bicep and kinda cuddled up really close to him.  Then he looked at me and I looked closely at him...and oh my gosh it wasn't Mike.  It was the other guy!  I was like, "I thought you were Mike!  I'm so sorry!"  He was very nice and he and Mike both got quite a laugh out of it, but still.  Oh my gosh.  Friday Drew realized that he didn't have a Halloween costume, even though I'd taken him to two different stores this past week and warned him he really should make some kind of choice.  The following is the result of leaving it to the last minute: It says, "I went to the costume store and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."  He loved it.  He thinks it's the best costume he's ever had.  In fact, next year he plans to make another one that says, "This IS my costume.  Deal with it." On Friday afternoon the neighbor boy, Jacob, came over as he does almost every day and he spent a couple hours playing, and somehow that turned into having supper over here and going trick-or-treating with us.  And then somehow that turned into just going ahead and spending the night.  The boys had a great time with him.  After trick-or-treating they all ate themselves sick on candy while watching Journey to the Center of the Earth, then they camped out in their room and "gambled" with their Halloween stash.  A good time was had by all...except Mike.  He's the one who got to stay up keeping an eye on things until the boys dropped off to sleep in the wee hours of the night.

Nov. 1, 2008 - Fun

What a fun time you all had. Brian thought Drew's costume was great. Brian had no desire to dress up this year. He just wanted to be a plain old boy, but I think he was inspired by Drew's shirt.
