Morning! :surfweb:

Happy Halloween!

I have been away for a few days just doing house stuff and working on some projects...... I have been spending too much time on the DIS and I needed to just go cold turkey for a few days! :rolleyes1

I have self control issues with the DIS and Food! :rotfl:

I did had to read like 7 pages or something so mabey I should not take so much time away! :rotfl:

ok...i have to get on Jojo to EAT....."Max and Ruby" is on...and that is sooo darn cute but very distracting...

TTYL!
Chan:)

My girls love that show...... DH and I laugh because there's never any parents around and Ruby is always in charge..... LOL! :confused3

I made a CD with the music and ride music from Haunted Mansion and the Boo to you parade. I plan on playing it all night from my windows

what a cute idea~ :thumbsup2

I would love to be able to have trick or treaters but we are at our church thing for Trunk or Treat. It is fun but not the same. DS actually asked me if we could stay home and if he could pass out candy to trick or treaters, he WANTS to have people come to the house bad! I think next year we will not head up the event so we can have fun at home!

I HAVE to get pictures today and post them of this house across the field from us. We call it the spider house becasue the year they moved in they did HUGE Halloween decorations, homemade stuff that is incredible! The first year it was a 10 ft spider that was on their house and a huge web with a dummy stuck in it! Then it was a alien theme, then a weird theme with huge claw like things coming out of the ground, then it was haunted pirate ship, and this year is like a dragon. They have huge speakers they put out and have tons of creepy light and lots of fog. They also do a haunted house in their drive way. They actually caused so many traffic problems two years ago they now pay the police dept to direct traffic! People will park in the empty lot that is across the street from me but they also sometimes park in front of my house so we have to put out cones and rope so people wont park in our yard or drive way blocking us in when we get home. It is fun but also annoying since the music goes till 11 and you can hear people screaming and laughing...... thank goodness it is Friday and DS does not have to get up early in the morning!

We would have so many trick or treaters b/c of them it is crazy!

Have a great day!
 
Kristin.....How I remember the school parties and trick-or-treating when my two were little.....it was always so much fun :goodvibes. Now all they want to do is go with their buddies and hang out all night.....after getting loads of candy, of course :rotfl: :rotfl:. DS13 is heading to a friend's later today and staying the night.......and DS15....who knows what he's doing :rolleyes1.....getting together with a bunch of friends somewhere later :rolleyes:. Oh the joys of having teenagers :laughing:. Have fun helping at the school party and trick-or-tricking with your little guy :).


Chan.....This weather is absolutely wonderful....I LOVE it :thumbsup2. Boy, you've got ALOT to do today :faint:.......I got tired just reading what all you have to do :lmao: :lmao:. But it will be worth it.....the girls will have a fun time tonight :banana: :banana:.


Hi to everyone else :wave2:. Have a great day all and have fun with Halloween :goodvibes.

Happy Halloween!

Siobhan - Hope your little guy feels better soon!

Kelly - Love that music! My DD was singing the "Which Witch is Which?" song from MNSSHP yesterday!

We're having a little "get together" with friends ( I refuse to call it a party or it turns into a huge thing before I know it) tonight for trick or treat! I'm sure I'll be making a last minute Publix or Target run for something!

Have fun everyone!:)

It's kind of sad, isn't it :sad1:? They grow up so fast :sad2:. I still have all the costumes from both DSs when they were little......they just bring back tender memories whenever I see them ;). Sounds like you have a little helper with your DD :)......those are good memories too when the little ones help out :goodvibes.
 
And this is the first year for my oldest to decide not to T or T. I'm kind of sad, too.

The little town I live in has a huge celebration. They close off the main neighborhood historic street, so that all traffic (cars, hayrides, four wheelers etc.) have to go one way and can't pull off without going down the entire street. (probably around a mile). Unfortunately, we live on a private road off of that street, so we either have to make sure we are home before they close it off (around 5) or we can go in the back way from a service road through the pasture. About half of the houses on the main road are all decked out, and between 1000 to 3000 people will go up and down it. I think probably quiet a few will be out tonight since it's a Friday night this year, but we also have a high school football game, so it may just be younger kids -- which would be great with me. We should have glorious weather and I'm really looking forward to it. Thankfully, the side roads are blocked off so we don't get trick or treaters at our house. Which is fine with me! The city does donate candy to the residents to help out, but people always end up running out.

We do have a few decorations in our yard -- the blow up mickey pumpkin and a tall stack of three pumpkins. What is really decorated is the inside of my house. My boys have picked out decorations over the years and were really in to Halloween before, but I think I'm the one most excited now. :rolleyes1
 
Hi Gals Happy Halloween!

Marci Your town sounds like a great place to be on Halloween:)

Kelly What a great idea with the music....HM music is the best...

Halloween is not my favorite holiday either...all teens so no trick or treating:sad2: ( I too remember the days)...but lots of parties!! I asked DD why dont you just stay home and give out the candy to all the trick or treaters...no way...gotta go to those parties..

Atleast no one is bringing home candy....less temptation:)

Have a nice day everyone:flower3:
 
My BFF and I are going to see a matinee of HSM3 tomorrow........ She knows how much I want to see it but feel like a goof going so she is taking me, LOL!

I feel like a major looser being excited to see it! :rotfl: popcorn:: :rotfl:
 
Kel- I am totally STEALING your idea for Disney Halloween music. I have the Happiest Celebration CD and I am going to play the Haunted Mansion music during trick or treat hours out my windows too!

Vanessa- don't feel bad about the Christmas music :santa: We have a local radio station that plays wall to wall Christmas music, usually starting tomorrow. I listen to it ALL the time when they do!

I need to head off to school soon for the party. I am in charge of one of the games. I have 3 trick or treat pumpkins and the kids will try toss small bags of skittles inside the pumpkins. DS is stoked to try it so hopefully the other kids will be too!!

TTYL ;)
 
Kristin How nice that you get to be tthe game mom at DSs Halloween party-I remember those days (miss them too:sad1: )my kids always loved when I got be at the school for any event... bet your havin fun:)

I have been hearing Christmas music on the radio too:santa: Used to be they started playing it after Thanksgiving...next we'll be hearing it in August:rotfl:
 
Afternoon Gals :)

I can't believe what a gorgeous day it is today :sunny:. I just ran to Walgreens and it was 67 degrees :woohoo: :woohoo:. I hope it continues through the weekend :goodvibes.


Kristin - Hope you're having fun at DS's party :yay:. Your game sounds like fun for the kids :).


BlueSkies - I think you're right.....after seeing Christmas stuff at the end of September this year :scared1:.....it won't be long before we are hearing Christmas music in August :rotfl: :rotfl:. Every year the holiday stuff comes out earlier and earlier :sad2:.

Kristin!! I listen to that station too over Xmas....OMG though...ALREADY?!!?!?!

I was sooo bummed when I was in WDW I got an email from that radio staion "the nine" and they are all talk radio now!!!!!:sad1: :sad1: That was my favorite station....at least I still have JackFM.:rotfl:

TYYL!! I am off to the school!! And then more!!!!

Chan:headache:
 
Chan- I thought the 9 sounded different! :rotfl: Time to reprogram that button!

The games were a big hit! The kids had a ball. They made a couple of crafts, had pin the nose on the jack o lantern, pass the spider (Hot potato to Halloween music) a Halloween guessing book and a snack. Fastest hour and a half of my life!!!!

I just turned on "Grim, Grinning Ghousts" and have it blaring out my windows!! :dance3: Last year we were decorated like pirates (surprise, surprise pirate: ) and we blared "He's a Pirate" from PotC all night. I bet the neighbors love us! :rotfl2:

Enjoy your night and your weekend all!

Chan- DO NOT FORGET ABOUT BREAKFAST AT 9:00AM!!!!!!!!!!
 
I am back....from schools...thougth I'd check in!

I ran around like a MANIAC today....did it ALL! Decorated out and in for Halloween....the girls came home and were so surprised and happy...:goodvibes I knew they would be....so I wanted to make it fun for them...I had to pull myself out of my post vacation dull drums. But it's good and they will have a lot of wicked fun and a great party.:thumbsup2

Lucy walked into the car door.....it was BAD....ugh...she has a huge goose egg on her head. I hate Halloween just because of that. She can't see. :guilty: She cannot see ANYTHING in the dark and always hurts herself. I cringe...and hold my breath the whole stupid time. Our neighborhood is rural..no sidewalks....no street lights...and then the lots are over an acre...:headache: I always feel relief when this day is over.

Hope everybody is having fun. (that sounds sarcastic, lol...but no..I do hope you all are having WICKED fun!)

And Kristin.
..OMG...you are killing me...It's not at 9 am!!! It's a 10 am...and I have a PM to prove it.:rotfl2:

DRINK:rotfl:

Chan
 
Have been giving out candy this afternoon from my lovely basket with the Happy Halloween fabric liner that I got in Target (love that store...) one stop shopping...it also has a nice Thanksgiving liner...I'll change it over as soon as all of the candy is gone:rotfl: shouldnt take long..

Channing sounds like the drink that you need for the day you're having is something with ALOT of caffiene...Hope the party goes well...sorry to hear about Lucy getting hurt...

TGIF everyone even if it is Halloween!!
 
Blueskies...I do need caffeine!!! As a matter of fact I haven't had time to eat or drink anything all day!!!!!! i am working on a diet Pepsi w/lime now!!:goodvibes Waiting for the kids to arrive.... I am a caffeine junky...if I don't get my life juice I will be wilting SOON!:scared:

Happy Halloween...

OH...and we have the Boo to YOu on right now!!! LOL

Channing:)
 
Kristin ~ Glad the game was a hit and the kids had fun :thumbsup2.


Chan ~ Sorry about Lucy getting hurt :sad2:....hope it's not too big a goose egg. Have a fun party :cool1:. And I know what you mean about it being dark........all of our lots are on 1-2 acres too with NO lights, sidewalks....NOTHING :headache:......all you see when it gets dark are tractors with little trailers attached to them taking the kids around :rotfl: :rotfl:. But that's what happens when we live in the country :rolleyes1.


BlueSkies ~ I don't know if we'll even get rid of half the candy I bought :eek:. DH came home from work and saw the candy in the bowl and said "I LOVE this candy.....can you get more??" :rotfl2: :rotfl2:. He's my sugar freak (sweet tarts, jaw breakers, etc)...he's worse than the kids :lmao: :lmao:. So I ended up running back to Walgreens and getting 2 more big bags of the stuff......should last him awhile :rotfl: :rotfl:.


Have great night all and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!


Deb :)
