Halloween Blessing
At this time of dark and night,
spirits often give a fright.
We call upon the ancient dead,
circling now around our head.
Bring the blessings from before,
while we stand with oppen door.
Ancient spirits hear us now,
peace and love do we avow.

Here's to a happy safe (and warm) Halloween to everyone. If you'd like to see some safety hints, etc. check them out here. There is a small party we're taking the kids to at the University housing community center. There'll be pizza, games, a haunted house, pinata's, etc. That starts at 5 p.m. and runs until 8 although, we aren't staying that late. I plan on going at about 5.30 and staying until 6.30. I'll be by myself since Carey will still be in class until that time. We'll meet up at home, get everyone ready to go, make a quick stop at his parents and then spend an hour trick or treating. We figured we could park somewhere and just walk for several blocks in a circle. At first we had planned on taking the kids to the mall for trick or treating, but that just seems so boring! I mean, I know, the kids don't care. They're still getting lots of candy. But the complete randomness of it is gone, and it's not spooky. So instead we're doing the "real" trick or treating. Some of the houses here really go all out, and I can't wait to see them. Deedee will be a bunny, James an undead pirate, Carey a serial killer (no costume; he says they look like everyone else), Kitty a ducky and Charles a witch (wizard). I will be a witch. I found an awesome hat with feathers on it and fell in love. |
