It's Halloween Night. The kiddos are adorable, I fulfilled all my mommy duties: made a special dessert for the kids (not that they needed any more sweets), planned and managed my son's class party this afternoon, carved some pumpkins, bought an easy but fun dinner, roasted pumpkin seeds, lit the pumpkins, handed my husband his one and only Halloween t-shirt and begged him to wear it, perfected the costumes, took pictures & stood by my husband as he opened a bottle of Shiraz.Eric took the kids out, we have too many neighbors to ditch our home so I stayed here and handed out candy. Our neighborhood is funny because a decent percentage of people own and use their golf cars...so you don't just walk. You ride in your golf car. We walk but I should make it a goal to have a golf car by next Halloween. If you need to buy or sell a home in Augusta, call me, I need a golf car.
I thought about making a drinking game out of this holiday. Every time the doorbell rings, I take a sip. But, I haven't done that. I've barely touched the glass because I've been sampling our candy.
By the way, I was freaked out at a haunted house when I was little and grew up not liking Halloween. I remember everything about that event, someone told me to walk close to a person in a coffin. I was obedient and did as they said. He jumped up at me and I cried and cried. I remember Daddy taking me to a cool toy store while everyone entered another room on the right. I told mom this story recently and she said "Kim, that was Disney World". Ah, I didn't remember that part. Pumpkins, scarecrows & candy....that's more than enough for my kiddos and they're having a great time.
Happy Halloween!!
Kim
