So tomorrow is Halloween. This is the first year that I don't have a costume to finish sewing, the night before. Well... Jordan still hasn't decided if he is dressing up. Now that he is in middle school, he can wear something (with-in the dress code). He will probally wear a baseball or basketball jersey though.

What a week, I feel like I am barely breathing already. Sean is out of town & Jordan has 4 nights of basketball practice. Of course, the practice are closed to parents and are just long enough that I go home and return to pick him up... but get nothing done in-between.

Last night Jarod, Meghan, and I went to Big Lots, to waste the nearly two hours of time. Tonight... I will probally drop him at practice and race back here to try and scrapbook a bit. Oh and a load of laundry swapped over. (I never really realized how much Laundry Sean gets swapped for me) I get it in the washer and normally swap a load here and there, but he does most of the swapping in the early morning; before he leaves for work. Drying the clothes just in time for us to wake to warm things.

I normally take the kids Trick-R-Treating, just me and the kiddos. But, this year, it feels wierd to not know Sean is at home. :(

I plan to take them to the mini strip mall of neighborhood stores at 3pm... then pick Jordan up from school... then off to our normal big houses by the golf course to get a good stash. Yep... this mom is willing to travel, walk, trek, trick & treat the night away. We start in near daytime, just as the sun starts to set... and we go until the kids don't want to go anymore. I love watching them race to and from each house! Memories of my dad taking us (trying not to think of the year I peed my pants, because we had gone so far from home. LOL)(oh, and that was back when costume where made of Plastic!) Bugs Bunny I was!!

Meghan will be Cinderella for the 2nd year this year. Jarod is the Grim Reeper... bloody mask and knife, and a handheld sound effect machine too. Yeah a bit of two or three costume characters, but great fun for a 9 year old boy. :)

I keep thinking of the poor toddlers he will be scaring, but then again, it is kinda fun to be a little scared on Halloween. :)
