My, oh my! I cannot begin to tell you how glad I am to have Halloween over. Halloween is my favorite holiday, but this year was a little crazy. My girls are getting too old to really go trick-or-treating, although they still do some. But in an attempt to get them off teh streets on this drunken holiday, I suggested we have a Halloween party here at my house. I gave the girls carte blanche about how many people they invited, knowing that most kids would already have stuff they would be doing. But then, a few days before, panic set in. And the girls started getting all emotional and anxious. And I had just about had it.
Halloween morn' we were up early (having taken teh day off from work to spend with the girls) and did not have a moment to chill the entire day. I took teh girls out trick-or-treating at 5 so we could be back by 7 and finish putting together the stuff for the party. Kids started showing up at 7:30, even though the party started at 8. And we had the crazy mix of the 15-year-old-too-good-for-everyone high schoolers mixing with teh 14-year-old-we-are-the-top-of-the-food-chain middle schoolers and the 10-year-old-it-is-fun-to-make-prank-calls fifth graders. All roaming my house. While I did my best to be inconspicuous but still make sure noone was finding a dark room to do what teenagers do. Augh! And when my last kids left at midnight, I sat in shock looking at my house that I had spent the day getting perfect. And whimpering.
Anyway, here are some fun pics of the night!
