Trick or Treat...Smell My...!

Yes, believe it or not, at 6 1/2 years old my beautiful little girls know the rest of that little "song". Thankfully we got it through their thick heads that we don't say that on Halloween if we're trying to get treats and all was well with the world tonight. Our night started at McD's and then it was off to Kerry's to get dressed, apply makeup, and hit the streets. We went to Kerry & Jayci's for trick or treating - Simpsonville has lots of houses, but they require transportation via cars & trucks - not feet - so we always escape to a friend's neighborhood. Kerry lives in a townhouse neighborhood and boy, what a nice treat that was this year!!! It was quick, easy and no one tired out until we were at the very last house. Brennan hung in there - first time ever - yelling "Today is the best daaaaaaaaayyyyy" - we were cracking up!


All of their buckets were literally overflowing with candy and they had a great time. Batgirl (Alyssa), Cheetah girl (McKenna), Flash (Brennan) and the witch (Jayci) dove right into the candy when we got back to Kerry's and within minutes were bouncing off the walls. Luckily, by the time we got them to bed (which wasn't much past our normal time), everyone settled down and they're now fast asleep!


Hope everyone else had a fun time tonight. We're headed out tomorrow afternoon so I won't be posting again until we return. Have a great "rest of the week" and weekend...and let's hope for a better end result when the Redskins take on the New York Jets on Sunday. GO SKINS!

P.S. - unfortunately I can't share any pics until next week. The cord that attaches my camera to the computer is in my office and I'm headed south this afternoon. Stay tuned...

Charlie & Snoopy anyone?

So did you watch it tonight? If you have kids, did they watch it? We did - it's a tradition in our house to watch this and the Christmas one. My kids don't ever watch Charlie Brown, but they love it! It sets the tone for tomorrow night - trick or treating :-) They came home today with a small bag of treats from daycare. Sugar high will last through the weekend I'm sure - he he! Tomorrow is the girls Halloween parade at school - pics to come - and then we're joining my friend Kerry and her lil witch (aka her daughter Jayci) for trick or treating. The kids are sooo excited.

My treat for the week is a much needed get away to Myrtle Beach. David and I are going with our friends Robert & Wendy to get away, do some golfing and just have some fun adult time. Since I came back from convention it's been very hectic around here - family visiting - and I'm ready to focus on David & I for a few days! We're leaving Thursday when Wendy gets off work and we'll be back Sunday night. Thank you Maw Maw Linda for watching our kids this weekend - they're excited to be with her - and we're excited to be alone!!! haha

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween with safe treats and fun tricks for all!

I'm baaack...at least for now

Hello everyone - I've decided to try and start this bloggin' thing again. If I don't keep up this time, I think I'm done for good so wish me luck :-) It's been a long time since I last posted so I won't even try to catch up - that would take forever.

Soccer is over - had the end of the season party on Sat. - minus our final game thanks to the rain. We need it, but I never like it. Following the soccer party, we went to my niece's 6th bday party, then the Fall Festival at the girls school....and then finally home...but not for rest! Oh no, we had a house full of family guests. It's ok -we loved it. My dad, stepmom and grandma were here visiting from FL (they left super early this morning) along with 3 of my cousins, their kids and spouses. We had a feast of steamed shrimp, fries, coleslaw and some yummy cream of crab soup....can you say I NEED TO GO TO THE GYM!!!

After a busy Sunday morning of changing closests from summer to fall, I'm relaxing in the recliner enjoying a good fall day of Sunday football in my pj's! Ahhhh that feels good. Until next time...
