Post 173: Can you believe it's November?!

Well, we survived our second Halloween in England. Halloween seems so much more laid back here, but then it could just be the village we live in :-) Not a lot happens around here, no real trick or treating - which is fine by me and the kids don't seem too upset about it...so even better.

David did take the kids to the Haunted Hollow or Forrest that they had on base. They went to the kid friendly version and Ashlynn decided that was not scary enough. So later while Brier and I were up at the Village Halloween party...David and Ashlynn snuck off to hit the scarier (adult) version of the Haunted Hollow. According to Ashlynn..."It was AWESOME!!!" Apparently, she is a thrill seeker - I'm not sure, but she loved it and David seemed very proud of her.

As for Brier & I we had a great time eating, dancing, and chatting with friends up the road. You were supposed to dress up...but well we kinda failed to do that. However - there were several dressed up and some very interesting costumes. It was a great time though, everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves and that's what counts right?

Yesterday - we recovered haha. Laid around the house...actually I cleaned our bedroom and cleaned out my closet and yet somehow I still need more hangers! I don't understand. How can you get rid of clothes and still need hangers! It makes no sense.

David did the laundry...Chiefs did not play yesterday - so he read a lot. He also died my sheets blue - I enjoy telling you that! I am the one that ALWAYS dyes something...so the fact that he did it...oh that's just wonderful! :-)

Today - I'm making more wedding sample invitations and decorating some styrofoam Christmas trees with the kids. I'll be posting pictures on my craft blog later. If you'd like to see the coffin treat boxes I made hop on over and have a look! They turned out real cute I think.

Anyway, I hope you all had an enjoyable and safe Halloween...now can you believe it is November already?!!! It's just crazy! Time for baking and thanksgiving....:-) Right?
