Monday, Monday

So....all of my original plans fell through this weekend, but that's ok...it was still a good one :) Last night a big bunch of us went trick or treating. Probably about 8 adults and 6 kids. haha, more adults than kids...but it was fun. A little. I must say, Halloween just isn't what it used to be. Me and my sister were talking about that last night. We remember (back in the day) when the streets were filled with kids. No adults....it was a time when kids could go alone....but there were kids running up and down the streets. Every porch light was on and every house had candy to hand out. People hid and scared the kids, or dressed up and sat quietly until the kids came up to their porch and would jump at them. Now days, only every 3rd or 4th house is lit up....if that. No one hiding or scaring anyone. We saw other kids trick or treating maybe every 10-20 minutes. It's just not what it used to be. I wish my kids could've been trick or treating when I was a kid. Because, man, it was the best. No one has the Halloween spirit anymore. :( Of course, Gage is too big to go trick or treating. So, he and his girlfriend just handed out candy. Today, I would also like to introduce you to the newest member of our family!!! My cousin Carrie (Annabel's mom) had her second little girl today!! Meet Ava Joy!! Born today at 7:22 a.m. 6 lbs 15 oz.!! Just lovely. :)

Just a Wee Bit

WEE BIT WEDNESDAY!

{one} have you ever seen a ghost?
Well, obviously.....
One night (when I was married) I woke in the middle of night and sat up in bed. I could see into the living room from my room. I saw Russ get up from the couch and walk past the bedroom door to the front door. I wondered what he was doing...if he heard something outside...
But then I realized, he was at the firestation, working. He wasn't even home!! I slowly got out of bed, tip toed to my door, peeked out....and saw nothing.
I jumped back in bed, covered up to my nose and eyeballed the living room for a long time before I fell back to sleep.
The end.

{two} when was the last time you dressed up for halloween?
The year before last. So, 2008. I was a flapper.

{three} what’s your favorite candy?
Oh, I don't know. I have to be in the mood to eat candy....and it's really not often that I am. But when I do want some, I usually want a Hershey bar and a jar of peanut butter to eat it with :)

{four} did you have a favorite costume growing up?
Yeah, a punk rocker! I was a punk rocker EVERY year when I was little. haha.

{five} did you carve pumpkins this year?
My boys and I carve pumpkins every year. We haven't yet this year though.....guess we better get started on that.

{six} what’s your favorite scary movie?
Ohhh, I have so many!! I love the scary, scary ones and I love the funny scary ones. I've always loved the Scream movies! I'm so excited to see Scream 4! Yes, they get more and more lame, the more they make...but that's the same with all sequels. I loved the first Scream and part 2 and part 3. I know I will love 4!
But I also love Paranormal Activity, The Strangers, The Omen, Rosemary's Baby, and of course, as mentioned in my previous post, Halloween.

{seven} haunted houses or corn mazes?
Haunted House!

{eight} are you superstitious?
I try not to be, but I catch myself sometimes. :)

{nine} have you ever owned a black cat?
We've owned every kind of cat you can imagine. Me and my sister used to find strays and bring them home!

{ten} what are you plans for this coming halloween?
Well, Saturday they're having a little carnival type thing (at the church) that they have every year. I usually take the boys with Leah and her kiddos. But apparently this year Gage is too old and Zac has a Halloween party to go to. :/
Sunday I am taking Zac trick or treating though! :)
