Trick or Treat Tuesday
Morning all you Ghosts and Goblins!
It's gonna be 77 degrees here! A purrfect day fer all those little trickertreaters! My spppooooky scary pumpkin came out nice... Best of all it yielded 3 cups of seeds that I roasted with Cinnamon,Salt and Splenda! A great treat for the week! The pics didn't come out real good, I'm gonna try another night photo, since you can't see the effect of the shadings in these pics (that's when you don't carve all the way through areas...just peel and shave the pumpkin down enough to see the light through the skin)
They have a big street party here tonight on Franklin Street where they're expected 50,000 people OY
Cawfee is up! Time to grab a cup and start my morn!
OOps that dark photo is enough to make ya go cross eyed! And I can't seem to delete it !! Crap!

So that's what woke me up! Schatzi, that second pic is really scary!
We aren't expecting a wonderful evening for our goblins but I am going to load up with Halloween crud for them anyhow. Leftovers can go to the food bank for school lunch treats. Rain and cold is expected. I can imagine the arguements going on later today about wearing a warm coat over a fairy princess costume!
Not much happening here today except putting out the pumpkin - a fake one, by the way although I do have six I could carve. I may do that yet! The Girls are now all rested up from their exciting four days at the kennel and life is settling back into the groove. I did go to my painting class yesterday afternoon but sort of vegged away the evening in front of the TV. I had the woodstove going and it was so cozy and warm. I think I may have been partially cooked by bedtime.
Enjoy Hallowe'en, Chickies, and try to resist the Frankenfoods!

Happy Halloween everyone! Everyone's talking about the temp where they are. It's just around freezing here this morning, but I don't think it's going to make it above 45 today. Should be a cold evening for the little ones.
Schatzi - Your pumpkins turned out great! Love to see more pics.
Ruth - What a great idea about taking leftover candy to the food bank. I hadn't thought of that one.
Cottage - I grew up in the country, so I never got to go trick or treating. I'm sure that Audrey & company will appreciate it!
Have a great day!

Happy Halloween Chickies!
DD woke up so excited today. I feel bad that she has to wait alllll day to go trick or treating. She's 4 and I think this is the first year she "gets" it. It's too cool
This morning was weigh-in day and I forgot to do it I have no idea how - I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning It's really nice out here, too. I think it's almost 60!
Hope everyone has a great day!

We must have a cold front going through today. It's upper 60's now and it looks like it will be about 60 when it gets dark tonight. Not bad. Brian doesn't like to trick-or-treat any more so he will be handing out the bags of Doritos and other chips.
It looks like it will just be Brian and me for the Webelos Woods campout this weekend. A close friend of my husband's died on Saturday and her memorial service is this coming Saturday. He really needs to be there to help support her roommate who is really upset. They knew the cancer was terminal but didn't know it would go so quickly. Brian and I will be fine. He can navigate for me since I've never been to this Boy Scout camp and it is a 2 hour drive away in east Texas. I've agreed to let him bring his own small tent so I'll sleep in a small one and he'll be right outside my tent with his tent. He can always move into mine if he gets nervous but this is the first step toward preparing him for Boy Scouts.

Morning ladies! It feels like the afternoon already!! Halloween activities are in full swing here. What I mean is that everyone is slacking off because it's a holiday! I'm freaking out because everyone is already planning for Christmas already. I mean, we drew names for Secret Santa today!! Good grief! Well the house is ready (even if it isn't, the party's there anyways!) and we'll be finishing the food prep on our lunch hours.
SB-wise, things are great! The candy bowl has been passed and I said nay. I'm also running up and down the stairs pulling files, so a little exercise for me!! Well, it's getting crazy up here, so I'd better head downstairs where it's not so crazy.

Ok, so I am an idiot. I totally forgot it was Halloween. My head is where? The worst thing is, is that I work in a children's store and I didn't dress up.
The good news is that my hometown has an awesome chocolate shop (been reviewed as one of the best in Gourmet, Bon Appetit, etc) that has sugar-free chocolate. I picked up a few pieces and I'm indulging myself. Yummy!!!!

Morning ladies - Well I kicked butt this morning with my workout. Jogged 2 miles on the treadmill, then went and did an hour of body pump and then went back and jogged another mile and a half... Decided that I am going to run a half marathon, so want to step up my running and get on a schedule and stuff...
Happy Halloween!
Lisa - Mmmmmm Chocolate
Kim - Way to stay strong with the candy bowl, also noticed you've been kicking butt in the exercise department!
Chels - I think we're going to lay low as well, have a couple of people over and watch scary movies... yaaay! Actually not yaay cause I don't like scary movies, but should be fun anyways...
Barb - Yeah we'll be getting that cold front later on tonight so it shouldn't affect our trick or treaters
Chellez - I've been too scared to watch Emily Rose, don't like scary movies, but gonna have to get over it cause we're having friends over for scary movies...
Kelly - That's so cute! Good luck with your weigh in, we really need to keep eachother on track since our goals are so similar!
Jana - 45? that's freezing! We're in for some nice 80s today...
Cottage - Have a super happy halloween!
Ruth - Happy Halloween, stay warm and dry!
Shatzi - Love the pumpkins! Super spooky
