Halloween in VA



Though it isn't my favorite holiday by a long shot, I did enjoy Halloween this year. Started off with a fun party for the big kids with love muffin and I stepping out of the forest as Red Riding Hood and Big Bad Wolf. It was fun to dress up and made me remember how great Hallowen used to be as a kid. We were also treated to a weinie roast at the Mosby's 100 year old house in "town". They live on a couple of acres and had a bonfire and about 10 first grade boys and their families running around it. It was topped off with a hayride by them through the VA cemetary and onto the community center for a high school sponsored haunted house. Reilly did pretty good although he was a little white when he got out. That was a pretty cool small town night and I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't a little "tired" from the night before.
Megan had a cute trick or treat parade through "town" during school on Tuesday. We even got some decent candy from the ghetto Diamond grocery store. She was only one of 2 Cinderellas but by far the cutest I must say. Cinderella is blonde people! Reilly was a haunted skeleton. In the end as we trick or treated around our neighborhood he was just a kid in black and gray gauzy robe. Lame. No masks next year for sure. But they got lots o' candy and mommy will be glad when it's gone!

Mom returns

I'm back from a wild weekend with da' women. We had a blast in Galveston in an incredible house just a block from the beach. It was a welcomed vacation from the incessant chaos that I welcome each day. The kids seemed to have survived as well as love muffin. Although they did run out to my car to greet me as if to say Thank God you're home mom! Lessons Learned: I learned a lot about some of my mommy friends this weekend. Some of it was useful, some not-s0-useful. I learned lots of birth stories, love stories and bathroom idiosyncracies. I learned who's grossed out by bugs, chives, and most things slimy. I learned who likes to drive in the rain and who has to make potty stops because of driving in it. I learned who likes to talk about all things food. But I still don't know why American cheese isn't good for the kids. I learned that vacations are rough on the digestive tract (especially the lower regions). I learned that we all like to lay around in jammies and t shirts and welcome any opportunity to pop the bra straps at the end of the day. I learned that although we're mostly all past thirty, we can still be wearing stuff to hold our teeth strait and when you do you sound like my 2 year old with a binky in her mouth. And lastly I learned that moms, no matter where we come from or how we grew up we take care of each other and we never grow tired of birth stories and baby bragging and love stories. And I look forward every time I see my friends to learn more.
