Happy Halloween

My weekend has been a fun one. Though the time changing set me off my wakeup schedule.
I actually slept longer than I normally do today. Must have needed the rest.

I'm sipping some hot raspberry tea and its gooo--ood.

Went over to Lisa's house at about 5 yesterday. We made home-made pizza. She invited Dad and my brother to come over too. I had a party to go to at 9 and knew that I wouldn't have time to go home and change, so I wore my gypsy outfit over--didn't don the coined head scarf until I left though.

First thing Ben does is go get a witch hat Lisa had for on her coat rack for decoration purposes...so I became a witch for their 'party.' He dressed up like Woody from Toy Story 2. If I ever download the photo program for blogger, I'll post a picture of him. William isn't too keen on costumes.

When the first trick or treaters came to the door at 6:30, I realized why she asked us over...so I could give out candy. Ben was my helper. I had fun with the kids. What amazed me were the amount of teens who didn't even don a constume. I gave them one piece of candy--at first I wasn't going to give them any...I mean, come on...how hard is it to dress up. But I relented. I noticed a trend this year--homicidal maniacs.

I saw one fairy princess, one musketeer, one vampire and.... one witch... when the witch appeared I told her there was only room in this town for one witch (meaning me) and she didn't get the joke...nor did Lisa. She asked why? lol...

Ben wasn't afraid of the scary masks. Maybe because when they walked off I shook my fist at them and said, "We're not afraid of your scary monster face." After each trick or treater left, he would say, "Where's more..where's more?"

Lisa and William joined us, after we had been outside for an hour. The last set of tricksters arrived at about 8. Two little tykes--the fairy and the vampire and they were escorted by a guy in a big rubber old man mask. The head was bald on top but had long white flowing hair from the sides and back. It was a very scary face. Ben ran to Lisa and she held him. The guy took it off and man, he was a young hottie. I gave the kids candy and turned to him and noticed he didn't have a bag. Lisa asked if he was their escort. He smiled and nodded.

As they left, he turned around and said, "Happy Halloween Pretty ladies."

Lisa and I sang out, "Happy Halloween."

He said, "OMG, you sound like angels. Sweet voices from sweet ladies."

We laughed and overheard him talking to the driver of their vehicle, "Did you hear that...those ladies sound like angels..."

I figured that I would leave on that one. The nephews didn't want me to leave though...I had been flying around on their Harry Potter broom and they had the most fun watching me goof off.

But a party awaited the presence of a Gypsy...
