Halloween

Happy Halloween!

I'm still sick! This ear infection is NOT clearing up. I am half-deaf currently, which is not a good thing to be.

Yesterday, Emacy and her hubby were throwing a Halloween party and so we were all going to dress up.



We had planned on going out to lunch and I said, "Let's just dress up now and stay dressed for the whole day!" Because when do we get the chance to dress up for Halloween? Well, OK, once a year, but still. And we had to dress up that night, so we did. I dressed as Manic Mommy. She was a vampire. I kept calling her Contessa. I don't know why. I said she needed to drink a Bloody Mary at lunch. She didn't though.

But, dressed up, we got more male attention than we ever do not dressed up. There's something to be said for wigs.

And this guy, in his heavy accent, came up to me and asked, "Could I take a picture with you?" So he got out his phone and snapped a pic, but then I had to take a picture of us too!



Then I thought it would be fun to go to the cemetary to take some pictures because I had heard it was a place people were DYING to go to!

So we did.

But as soon as we got there, Emacy and I felt a little like it was a wrong thing to do, cuz there were all these dead people there. But THEN immediately I see the HUGE mausoleum with HER EX-HUSBAND'S name on it! I begged her to pose in front of it, but she wouldn't. Drat.

We decided to pose where there were no dead people's names.





Then we went to the school for the kid parade, which is really lame cuz the school doesn't even let the kids wear makeup or wear their whole costume to school. They have to dress later in the day. And what a pain is that. I'm sure the teachers love it too. And Emacy and I were the only moms dressed up. We thought we were cool moms to do that, but later Diva told me I was embarrassing. Looks like I'm following the Mom Rule Guide properly.



Here are more pics. I'm too sick and too tired to tell you about the casket but I'm lying in it.



These days I'm feeling like I might need to be in one full-time.

Oh, one last question -- favorite/best Halloween goody you or your kids got? I was so annoyed NOT ONE OF MY KIDS landed a popcorn ball OR a Pay Day. They did not get uber-loot this year. But that's probably a good thing.
