Guest Post

Last night, Trin called me and asked if I'd do a guest post for her and explain her extended absence. Of course, I agreed. I love to guest post - it feeds my enormous ego!

Well, Trin and G are all moved in to their new place. Saturday, G, Oz, G's Dad, and I moved the big stuff over and got them settled in. We didn't have much in the way of quantity to move, thanks to G and Trin's diligent efforts, but we did have some quality moving to do.

We moved their big screen TV, sectional couch, bed, end tables, dining room table, bench and chairs, dressers, porch swing, grill, computer desk, and some garage items. It took all day, but part of that was spent eating lunch and then doing some waiting between trips because their buyers showed up and needed attention.

We then went back and got some of their things set up and left them a lot of work to do to get finally fully settled in. In return for those efforts, we got ice cream!

Unfortunately, they do not have any phone or cable service until later this week, so Trin isn't sure when she'll get on the computer again to update or check blogs.

She says that she misses all of you terribly and can't wait to get back on here. So, hopefully you will all wish her well in her new place and welcome her back when she gets internet access again.

Till Then.

Wonderful Turkey Day!

I don't know about everyone else, but we had a wonderful turkey day! My son stayed over at my parents house the night before the big day (so my hubby and I could move some things), so the morning went by pretty quickly. I got up around 8, got a shower, and put some eggs on to boil. Then I made up some pumpkin monkey bread and popped it in the oven. By that time the eggs were done, so I cooled them off, de-shelled them, and deviled them up! I then made up some pumpkin butter (it was my first time, but it turned out really yummy in my book!) and took the finished monkey bread out of the oven. After all that, I finished getting ready and my hubby and I rushed out the door with the food. We picked up my son (and a few black Friday ads) at grammies and then we all headed over to my father-in-laws house for our first Thanksgiving meal of the day.

All in all, we had a great time over there. I sat at the kids table to help my son with his food and I was able to help the other kids out as well. Then we had some yummy desserts that my hubby's cousin made.

After dinner, we were able to celebrate for another two hours before heading off to another turkey day get together with my side of the family. We made sure to stop by our house to pick up the ice cream, cool whip, and gifts for the next gathering. We got there just in time for dessert! Then we had our Christmas with that side of the family. Since the grandparents will be in Arizona (celebrating with their youngest and his family) we all decided to celebrate two holidays (and two birthdays) in one evening.

My hubby and I got a few gift cards (along with some crazy gifts that my grandparents threw in) and my son got a remote control car, Noah's ark blanket, books, learning system, and some flash cards. He loved it all!

Well I hope you all had a great holiday! Are ya still full?!

It's like a big cinnamon roll Cin. You take pieces of biscuit, roll them in pumpkin spice, then throw them in a bundt pan. You boil up a sauce and pour on top, then you bake it. Let it cool for a few min, then ya flip it over...it's soooo good!!!

Ahhhhh...

It feels so nice to be back on the computer! I wasn't able to get on at all yesterday since it was acting up. This time it wasn't our internet connection, but our actual computer that was stopping me from getting online. It would just freeze up and give me that stupid error screen! What a pain in the you know where!!!

But, I'm back now and it feels good! I've really missed you all! I don't know what I'm going to do this weekend. Since we will be packing and moving everything, I don't think I'll have the time to get on the computer at all! Plus there's turkey day celebrations and the day after turkey day sales! And we are closing on our house tonight, so I won't be able to move a thing or even get on the computer till late tonight.

And did I tell ya that my indoor cat has fleas?! That's right, my indoor cat! I called up the vet and they said it is actually a very common thing. We bring in the fleas on our pants and shoes and they attach themselves to pets. So tonight we will be giving Miss Kitty a bath, which I'm really looking forward to...NOT! Then in two weeks I have to go to the vet to pick up some special flea meds. Again, what a pain in the you know where!!!

Have I mentioned that it feels great to be back online? I hate being cut off from the rest of the online world! I should really get myself a laptop so I can surf anywhere I want...or I could just steal my hubby's laptop!

Life is grand when the computer is working!!!

My cat got fleas once and he has always been an indoor cat. It had an awful affect on him. He was allergic to them or something because he was ripping his hair out he was soo itchy! WE had to give him extra meds as well as bathe him regularly. Then there was the whole mess of making sure we killed any that were in our home. Good luck!

OSU Game

Wow, what an excellent game yesterday! The OSU Michigan game is something we look forward to all season! But for some strange reason, I had the hardest time thinking of what we would have to eat during the football party. After several days of meditation, prayer, and quiet time, I finally came up with the idea of having Chinese sundays. For those of you that have never heard it before, it's a dish that starts off with a base of rice. Then you add cream of chicken soup (with a ton of extra chicken added in) on the rice. Next, you top the dish anything you want. Yesterday our toppings were cheese, nuts, pineapple, coconut, tomatoes, Chinese noodles, and cherries. Of course you can add just about anything else like onions, celery, peppers, or whatever you have in the kitchen. It's def a delicious dish...especially for a football game!

I also made up some buckeyes (and a few chocolate covered cherries) for the big game! And I must say that they were the best buckeyes I've had in a looooong time! I think I have just about perfected my recipe and I hope to make the candy again soon! I just might have to for Christmas!

To top everything off, our Buckeyes won!!! They pulled the win out in the last few minutes of the game...and I was loving every second of it (except Gin of course). It was such a great game to watch!!!

Life is grand with good food and great friends...and a Buckeye win of course!!!!

Hawaiian Haystacks (or Chicken Sundaes) are more common names for it, but whatever they are called, they are certainly very good. Though, I admit that I eat mine with just rice, chicken, cheese, and gravy.

Harry Potter!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

We had such a good time last night! My brother came over to my house and we rode over together to meet our mom at this great (and cheap) Mexican restaurant. We had our food while my son fell asleep on my lap. Then my hubby, dad, and father in law joined us for dinner. As the men were finishing, my mom, sis, bro, and I headed on over to the theater, right next to the restaurant, to get out seats. We ended up sitting a few rows back from the middle, but it was a wonderful spot to see the movie!!! My hubby and dad joined us at the theater as soon as they got my son settled in with his Papaw (who gladly watched him for us!). We saw some wonderful previews (including one I def want to see only because it's directed M. Night Shyamalan) and then the movie started!

I must say that I was def looking forward to this movie since book 4 is my favorite of all the HP books!!! And I think the movie def did the book justice. It was long, at 2 and 1/2 hours, but it had to cover a lot of information and action. And I must say that I loved the special effects...especially the under water scenes!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
(What a cutie!!!)

My hubby enjoyed the movie as well even though he hasn't seen HP 2 or 3 (crazy, I know!). He was a little lost in one or two parts, but he caught up by the end of the movie.

Btw, I can't tell ya how many kids under 5 where in the theater! Personally I thought that they were just a little too young to be seeing this movie. HP4 has more violence and death then the other 3 movies/books.

So, have you all read the books and seen the movies? If you have/had a young child, would you allow them to see this movie? Would you screen HP4 before letting your child see it?

Blogger MaR said...

My son has read all books, he wanted me to do it too but -sorry- I have only read book 1. Took him to the movies then for the first film and I was the one closing my eyes and asking him if I could watch then or not... He did ok but he must have been around 10yrs old. I wouldn't go again!! :D But that's just me whenever there is too much action on screen. Here via Michele's.

I've read all the books but only seen the first two movies. I was disappointed in the two movies. I've heard the last one and the one just released are a lot better.

The books keep getting darker as the characters get older so I'm a little surprised at all the young kids in the audience also...

Trin13's T13!!!


Thirteen Things about Trinity's Life



1. I got over to the townhome last night to organize. We put a lot of things down in the basement to stay out of our way while we moved. So last night I had a chance to go through those boxes and tubs.

2. It was actually snowing last night went the boy and I were heading back home. It was so pretty...but cold!!! I hope it's not this cold on moving day-the 26th.

3. The autistic boy I watch was a little off this morning. He has a speech therapist on Thursdays, but he didn't want to work with her today. He usually looks forward to seeing her, but like I said, he was a little off.

4. Tonight I will be boxing up the bathrooms and the garage. I hope to have a full car load to take over to the new place tonight as well.

5. I am really hoping to get everything moved, except for the big and/or heavy pieces, and in place before moving day. My mind is set to it, so I'm sure it will happen! And my mom should be helping out the Friday before...we can accomplish so much together!

6. We have our first Christmas next Thursday. Because my mom's parents will be out of town (visiting their youngest, my uncle, and his family in Arizona) during Christmas, so we are celebrating on Thanksgiving day. I made sure to set aside their C-mas gifts so that they don't get packed away or misplaced.

7. I have to buy for three cousins (since there are three of us-me, my hubby, and the boy), but I got the cousins who are in Arizona...so I won't get to see there faces as they open their gifts. I did however buy for them last year and I got three wonderful thank you cards in return.

8. Fortunately I won't have to pay the shipping costs for their gifts since my grandparents are going to celebrate with them. They will just need to make sure to save enough room in their suitcases for a dart board and a picture taking rocket (both I got on sale of course).

9. I'm having a hard time deciding on the menu for this weeks OSU game. It's their last game this year and it's against our nasty rivals from up North. I want a fantastic meal and an even better dessert. I think I will def be making some yummy buckeyes.

10. We've thought about having meatloaf burgers. It's just like regular meatloaf, only my hubby will patty up the meat mixture and fry it on the Foreman. It's one of our favorites!

11. I always have to have a dessert to go with OSU games. This week is of course homemade buckeyes, but I made Thin Mints last week! They were sooooo good, especially when we crumbled them over mint chocolate ice cream that's been coated with leftover peppermint chocolate! Yummy!!!

12. My grandma is already hassling my mom and I about Christmas. She always wants us to drive to her home (40 min away) to celebrate the holiday. She is never willing to have C-mas at anyone else's home. She actually changed her mind the one year that she agreed for my sister to host the get together. We all got in trouble that year! My grandma is just crazy in the head!!!

13. Have I mentioned the move yet?! Heehee! I just can't wait to have twice as much space for a couple hundred less a month! Life is grand!!!

Likes And Dislikes

My hubby and I are so weird. Whenever one of us tries something new (like food) and loves it, we have to share it with the other...and most of the time the other hates it. Something like this happened tonight. My hubby has been raving about this pizza that PapaMurphy's makes. He has gone on and on about the cheese and the toppings all while little pools of drool form at the corner of his mouth. Now I've had PM's pizza before and loved it! (It's one of those places that makes a fresh pizza for you and you take it home and bake it yourself). So we picked up a special pie and I baked it up for our dinner tonight. After taking his first bite, I can tell that my hubby is in pizza heaven! After taking my first bite, I'm ready to throw the rest away. It was just too much for me! He loved all the cheese, but the cheese was overwhelming! I was actually gagging on the pizza because of all the cheese. It just was not good!!!

So here he was thinking that I would love this pizza, but I in fact would never order it again. But, it works both ways. I'll have something that I absolutely adore, but he will hate it. Sometimes it can be a good thing since that means that I get it all to myself...but it would be nice to share more food loves. Know what I mean???

Cool...I just saw you post this! I'm number one! Wahoo! I just made myself a steak, brussel sprouts, and mashed potatoes. (Gotta love when the kids go to bed early, stuffed with pigs in a blanket!) Oh, and I like my pizza without cheese. Yes. I'm strange.

Hmmm... Reminds me of a nursery rhyme.

Jack Sprat
Could eat no fat,
His wife could eat no lean;
And so, betwixt them both,
They licked the platter clean.

I am, of course, not casting either of you into a role in the rhyme, but merely pointing out that the food differences are good, because between you two, you run the whole gamut of food tastes.

When it comes to matters of a culinary nature... You complete each other.

Good Weekend

My hubby and I had a pretty good weekend together. We got a ton of things moved including my entire crystal cabinet and almost everything in our closets. We will soon be working on cleaning out our garage and kitchen cupboards. I will be boxing up most of my tupperware containers that I just don't use on a regular basis.

My mom and I have been talking about painting a few rooms as well. With townhomes/apartments, if you paint a room, you have to paint it back before moving. This would be no problem for me to do since I love painting! So we were thinking of picking up some oops paint and splashing some color in my son's room and the play room. If there is ever a time to paint, it's now!

So our weekend was very busy! How did your weekend go?

I've Been Tagged!!!

From Twisted Cindy!

You have to come up with something for every different hour of the day.

12:00 Midnight: This is about the time I start thinking about heading to bed. The only alone time I get throughout the day is late at night, so I like taking advantage of it by staying up.

1:00 am: I should be asleep by this time. It used to take me 45 minutes to get to sleep, but I must really be wearing myself out during the day since now it only takes me 5 minutes to get to la-la land.

2:00 am: This is usually a good time for me to get to bed during the weekend. There are just too many good things on tv late at night.

3:00 am: When I was pregnant, this was the time I woke up every night to go pee! What a pain!!!

4:00 am: When my son was young, this was about the time of his nightly feeding...but thank the Lord that didn't last long!

5:00 am: I'm usually awake at this time. I look around the room, think of a good dream, and go back to sleep for another wonderful hour!

6:00 am: This is about the time I get up for the day since I have to shower before work. I just feel gross without my morning shower.

7:00 am: My boys should start arriving at this time. Their mom has to be at work by 8, so I get them around 7:15.

8:00 am: All three boys have been dropped off and it's just about time to wake up my hubby. He has an alarm clock, but it just doesn't seem to help him get out of bed. So I go in and shake his foot to get him up. This is also about the time my son will wake up.

9:00 am: By this time the 6 month old should be napping and the boys will of had their breakfast.

10:00 am: Dr. Phil time!!!

11:00 am: The boys get their tv time starting at 11, and I get my computer time till lunch.

12:00 noon: Lunch baby! I have to try to figure out what three hungry boys will want for lunch....and it's my re-charging time!

1:00 pm: Bath time for the boy. He usually stays in his jammies till this time.

2:00 pm: The boy gets out of the bath at this time. He just loves the water!!!

3:00 pm: If I can schedule it right, I can usually have a nap at this time. It doesn't last long though since I need to get the two year old ready to go.

4:00 pm: The two year old gets picked up. Since his mom is a teacher, I only watch him from 8-4.

5:00 pm: I get the red-heads feed and out the door. Then I pick up the house so it looks nice when my hubby gets home.

6:00 pm: I start dinner at this time. Since my hubby doesn't get off till 6 and then comes home and takes a shower, there's no point to start it any earlier.

7:00 pm: We usually eat at this point. We sit down together and watch either King of Queens or Jeopardy.

8:00 pm: If we have any running to do, this is the time to do it.

9:00 pm: Time to relax with the boy before his bedtime!

10:00 pm: My son's bedtime...and it was my weekday curfew time when I was living at home.

11:00 pm: My weekend curfew time when I was living at home. Btw, I had this curfew up till the day I got married!


Steal if you want...and you know you want to! Heehee!!!

Busy

I'm off to pack and move things again today even though I am still sore from yesterday. My legs and hands are a little stiff, but it was worth it since we got 8 loads over to the townhome...but there is pleny more to move! So that's what I'll be doing for most of today as well.

Well I'm off! There's so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

Moving!!!

That's right, we have decided to move (thanks for all your prayers and well wishes!)!!! So I have two weeks to pack up everything! My mom will be coming over today to help me start boxing up things like the items in my crystal cabinet, wall decorations, stuff in the crawl space, blankets, etc, etc.

I got a few concerned comments yesterday and I tried to address them as well as I could in a comment of my own. But, I will go ahead and explain how we are able to get out of our home in two weeks.

One of my mom's long time customers own a successful business with her hubby. They help those who need to get out of homes quickly. In short, they take over the monthly payments while the home is still in the sellers name (and they can have the seller out in a week's time). They then go into the home and replace, paint, and/or fix up the place so that it will find a buyer quickly. Once they do find a buyer, they then pay all the closing costs and the house is transferred from the sellers name to the buyers.

In our case, they will be giving us $1000 for the house and we can move out right now. We will get with their lawyer and fill out some paperwork so that the couple will be in charge of our monthly payments. They will pay for new carpet and paint, so that the house will sell quickly, and they will be covering the closing costs when a buyer is found (and that's when the house goes from our name to the buyers).

My hubby and I decided that doing the above would be much better than going through a realtor. If we did go through a realtor, we could still be trying to sell our home months from now. We would also be responsible replacing the carpet, painting the walls, and all the fees (including home inspections, realtor, closing costs, etc). The very most my hubby and I could walk away with would be about $3000 (and that's if it sells within 60 days).

So my hubby is going in today to start up the paperwork for leasing the three bedroom townhome. The current rm (resident manager) will be given his two weeks and when that time is up, then we can officially start moving in. Once we are in, my hubby will be responsible for picking up the trash before his normal work hours. After work, he is in charge of passing out flyers or notices and he will also be handling all small service requests.

Btw, the company could still be bought out, but he has been talking to a friend who works for the other company (who's interested in buying his property). He found out that if the other company takes over, then he wouldn't have to do the small service requests, but we wouldn't get as much off of rent...but the rent would still be lower than our mortgage.

Oh, sorry for the long post, but I'm just soo excited and I wanted to answer all your questions!

We get to move into a townhome twice the size of our current home for a few hundred less a month!!! Ahhh, life is grand right now!

I wish you all the best. Please remember, no matter what people offer as advice, only you and your husband can make the decision on what is best for your family.

We had to move sort of quickly this summer too. We had 30 days. My advice, label each box with what room it came from. It makes it easier to find something if you need it quickly. And it is helpful with the unpacking process. Which, by the way, takes A LOT longer than packing it!!!

Moving?

Tonight my hubby and I had a meeting with a couple who buy houses. We got together after my mom shared our situation with one of her long time customers. The customer ended up calling me and I thought that what she had to say was quite interesting. So, we scheduled a time for her and her hubby to come over, tour our home, and have a sit down with my hubby and I.

The hubs and I really liked what they had to say...for the most part! We found out that we can be out of our house in a week's time! We wouldn't have to replace the carpet or paint the walls (like the realtor suggested) and we would walk away with about $1000 cash! I know it would be less money than the realtor offered, but I still think it's a great deal!

So my hubby and I have to make our definite decision this week! We could go through the realtor, sell our home, and hope to make a profit...but we wouldn't be out of the house for at least another 60 days (which possibly means a double payment-one towards rent, one towards mortgage). We could also go through this couple (they have a very successful home business) and be out in a week with $1000. Or my hubby and I could just stay here at our home where we are running out of room. If we did stay, we would probably end up moving some time next year anyway.

Btw, did I mention that my hubby's company could be bought out? That means if he takes the job and the new company buys the complex, he could be forced out of the position within a year. But that is still up in the air.

What to do...what to do???

Blogger Jennboree said...

It does sound like a very different deal and I'm afraid you'd not be getting what your house is really worth. A good realtor will generally get you the most you could possibly get and I imagine that would be more than $1,000 in your pocket.

Perhaps you can do some investigating on the couple and their business?

November 09, 2005 2:46 PM

Those are some tough decisions to make. We had a similar thing when my husband took his job. We had to up and move out of state. We put our house on the market and it actually sold before we had to make another mortgage payment. Good luck!

Wow. Your mom's customers...would you only get the $1,000 and be done with the house? Would they just take over the payments? What kind of profit would you get if you sold the normal way? How much would you actually make after having to do fix-ups to sell the house? What would be the easiest and less aggrevating?

I know I'm just adding on questions but I'd look into them.

Also: If your husband does take the job, is it secure? Will he be happier there? What would you do next year if he were laid off of the one he has now? Are there many options for jobs for him?

I'll be praying for you.

Blogger Trinity13 said...

Okay I guess I wasn't clear enough...the rm job would be an additional responsibility for my hubby. He would do those responsibilities before and after his normal work hours.

If we went through the couple, we have been promised $1000 for our home and we could be out in a week's time. They would take care of replacing the carpet, painting our home, and paying all the fees involved in order for it to sell. The home would still be in our name till it sold, but the couple would be in charge of making the payments.

If we went through a realtor, who knows how long our home would be on the market. And once it did sell, my hubby and I would be responsible for replacing the carpet throughout. After all the fees and updates, the very most we could walk away with would be about $3000...and that's only if we could get out of the house in two months. (Sounds like too much stress to me!)

Thanks for praying everyone...and I hope I have cleared up a few things for ya!

Oh, very funny Capt Berk!!!

Food Network

I love watching the Food Network! I think it's because I just love anything having to do with food! And I love learning new and different ways to cook my favorite meals. I could watch the food channel for hours...if I had the time! I do try to watch at least one half hour cooking show a day. Most of the time it's Everyday Italian with a Giada De Laurentiis. She shares recipes that she learned when she was a child, but she does it so beautifully! She is quite a hottie...heehee! And apparently I'm not the only one who thinks so...

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

My son (who is 3) and I were watching a little bit of tv on Friday. It was his choice for the next show so I flipped around asking what he wanted. I told him he could watch a cartoon or Giada on the food channel. He surprised me by picking the gorgeous Ms Giada! I guess he likes her as much as I do! Heehee!!!

Happy Birthday!

Today we got to celebrate my daddy's 47th birthday! We met him at his favorite restaurant were they have the yummy peanuts and rolls to eat before your dinner! The restaurant even paid for his dinner and dessert since he eats there at least twice a week. The staff sang to him and then my dad started up a peanut throwing war at our table. We barely escaped!!! Then headed over to my parent's house where my dad opened up his gifts. We got him a red OSU polo and a coin holder.

After opening all of his gifts, he said he was a little disappointed that he didn't get any Legos (The man is a little obbsessed with Legos. He even has his own room devoted his little plastic pieces. And no one is allowed to play with them since they have to be just so.)...but he knows that if he wants a new Lego set, he needs to let everyone know which one. It's just to hard to buy them for him since we all don't know what he already has! Ahhh, gotta love him!

Happy Birthday dad!!!

Some say I'm a Tact Avoidance Expert. Especially when I see someone who is uniquely coordinated.

This 'lego' sounds quite strange.

Can it be used to make spaceships? If so, I may recommend it to starfleet

I wish I could say more BSTS, but that would be "insensitive" of me.

Btw, yes Capt Berk!

Good Ol' Boys!

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

My Smallville has finally redeemed its self! I was really worried too since it seemed like they jumped the shark last week with the crappy vampire episode. I just couldn't believe how bad it was. I almost left the room just to get away from the insanity of the show.

After seeing that episode, I thought Smallville was done for sure. I mean, how could they possibly come back? I didn't think it was possible until last night when Tom Wopat (from Dukes of Hazard) guest starred. It was really neat to see him drive up the Kent's home in a blue 69 Dodge Charger. Then Jonathan Kent (John Shneider) got to take the car for a spin after Tom's character has to enter the car through the window since the door is broken! It was great!!! You can read all about the Dukes of Smallville here!

I really hope the show finishes this season with a bang...cause who knows if this will be the last season for them or not (Clark has to become Superman sometime!).

Sorry I don't watch that show. Actually I don't watch tv much. Laugh here-------------- I do watch momma's family in the morning while the kids get ready for school. I'm hooked.

I'm still waiting for the season to start here in England!

I agree...Clark has to get the cape out and start flying soon. I thought he was about to at the beiginning of the previous season.

"Ogres Are Like Onions"

Yeah...our Halloween pics are finally up! Since my hubby forget his camera on trick or treat night, we had to use my brothers digital. Then we had to get the right cord for it to transfer the pics to our computer. What a pain!!!

Anyway, as you can see the boy and I did a Shrek theme with him as Shrek and me as Fiona (when she was a big ogre of course!). I originally thought about doing a Star Wars theme, but the Vader costume was just too expensive and I couldn't find a Yoda costume for the boy. As I was looking through costumes at a nearby store, I found the dress I am wearing below. It was some sort of Renaissance outfit, but I thought it would be a perfect Fiona dress! I got it for a great deal (30% off) and then went looking for my son's Shrek outfit. I also found it at a great price!

I thought the boy looked so cute especially since he has a Shrek belly...heehee! I was sure to buy it big so he could wear it again if he wanted to. And my dad was loving our costumes! He is a huge Shrek fan and can quote a good majority of both movies. So he had a good laugh when we came in the door dressed the way we were!

Oh, my sis was going to be the ass (Donkey), but then decided to do Puss In Boots. We (as in me) found a cape, hat, and cat tail for cheap! She wore all that plus her high black boots and I put orange streaks in her hair. She looked pretty good, but only wore it for a half an hour. Party pooper!!!

Here is a pic of my hubby...Mr. Jack O. Lantern. I think it suited him...heehee!

Hi there - here via Michele's.

Your costumes are adorable! Getting the pics off your brother's camera may have been a pain, but well worth it.

Cheers!

Happy (Belated) Halloween

We had an excellent time last night!!! We headed over to my mom's house where she has her annual Halloween party. She served chili and potato soup, hot dogs, apples and caramel dip, 3 different types of pies, 4 types of cookies, and tons of candy!

The boy and I ate as soon as we got there. Then around 6:15 my hubby, father-in-law, the boy, and I decided it was time to go trick or treating! We walked 4 blocks worth of houses till my son's bag was full a beautiful, delicious candy! ( I should have a pic of my son and I some time this week). The boy had so much fun running up the driveways and ringing doorbells (sometimes several times...heehee!). He was just too cute!

Btw, there was a house in the neighborhood was decorated big time! It had orange lights all over it and several inflated Halloween creatures, skulls, bones, and ghosts all in the yard. It also had a fog machine going...but I guess that the home owners spent all their money on the decorations since they were giving out Smarties! Smarties!!!

Life is grand with Reese's Inside-Out!

These earth fetivals are curious.

You might like to know that there is a whole planet full of vamoires that dress up as humans once a year.

It is something to behold.

We ran into a similarly decked out house during our travels, but thankfully, they didn't blow the whole bank on decorations and were giving out the good chocolate stuff!
