Trick or Treat

Okay, so I am irritated. I have several gripes. I will get to them, but first I just have to say that I can't believe it's November! My favorite month! Thanksgiving is my very favorite day of the year. I am excited. Anywho, I had a Halloween party last week for Katelyn's cousins and friends. It was so cute. Seriously. We had pizza, played musical pumpkins (they had NO idea what they were doing) , and had a costume parade at the park by our house. It was so fun. I would post pictures here, but I don't have any. That would be gripe #1. I don't know what the deal was, but when I replaced the batteries, it just stopped working. Jason was gone so I couldn't just make him figure it out. Unfortunately, he was dressed up then too, so I don't have any pictures of his costume. It was killer. He was originally going to be Jon Gosselin, but at the last minute decided to go with Matt Foley. Priceless, I assure you.

After the party was over Jason fixed the camera and for that I was grateful because we still had the Trunk or Treat to document. Gripe #2 here. When was it decided that it's okay for teenagers with no costumes and giant attitudes to trick or treat?! I mean, come on. I quit trick or treating when I was like 11. These fools crash the church parking lot (which is fine, visitors are welcome), trample the little kids, shove a bag in your face and act like it's their right. First of all, PUT A FREAKING COSTUME ON. Secondly, use some stinking manners! What ever happened to saying "Trick or Treat" and "Thank you"? It pretty much ruined my night. Katelyn couldn't wait to leave. Besides all that, we had fun. Here are some pics.



I mean, besides the smirk on her face, have you seen a cuter Tinkerbell? Didn't think so.



Here are Katelyn, Cora and Andrew as Tinkerbell, Rosetta, and Scary Skeleton Guy.


This is Cullen and Ireland, Shannon's twins. You can't tell really well in this picture, but they hat the best costumes. He is a magician and she is a buuny in a hat. They were adorable. Ireland really hated that hat and would not stay in it.This is all of them. No one was really looking, but aren't they cute? I love that you really have no idea if Andrew is even looking or happy or sad or what. Masks are rad like that.


Now, since we knew we wouldn't be home in the early evening, we turned the lights out and thought it was made clear that we weren't handing out candy at home. Gripe #3. Isn't it common knowledge that if a light isn't on, you don't come knocking? After 26 people rang the doorbell, we had to put a sign on the door. I mean really, what's wrong with people.

The night wasn't very eventful after that. We put Katelyn to bed and just watched useless shows. Then we remembered daylight savings time was to begin. Happy Dance! Momentary bliss. Then I remembered...gripe#4. Daylight savings time means nothing to Katelyn. And, just as I expected, instead of the usual 7:30 wake-up call, I got it at 6:30. Why are kids evil? Just kidding. Only sort of.

As for everything else, it's all good. I am 29 weeks now, but I look like I am about 49 weeks. It is going faster now, though, and I appreciate that. Everyday I keep thinking I will start to get things together, but I keep putting it off. One day. That is all for now. Til next time.
