We were correct haha. We took Isla trick or treating and she had a blast! It was a lot of fun this year even though it was freeeezing. Much like all of the Halloween's of my childhood.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-5830455698427651192014-10-29T22:17:13.135-05:002014-10-29T22:17:13.135-05:00Your month sounds busy but fun!

October was (is) especially busy, with races and weekends away every weekend. I wish I could say November would be slower, but I doubt it will. I already have started filling in blank spaces... <br /><br />I am going to Arizona this weekend, so will be on a plane on Halloween. However, the reason I am going is to pace a friend at a 100 miler, and we will be dressed up for the race! It should be a fun time, all weekend long Halloween party!

I love decorating for Halloween but the big-time costume parties may be a thing of the past! I used to enjoy them; now it seems like more hassle than it's worth when you could just have a good old regular party! But the pumpkin carving is an entirely different matter -- that sounds such fun!<br /><br />We never know how many goblins we'll have at the door on Halloween. Sometimes lots, sometimes not so much. We have some Baby Ruth and Butterfinger bars left over from when I had to take Halloween candy somewhere -- I bought a big bag to last but Rick loves Baby Ruth and I love Butterfingers and so we may need to supplement!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-70257032033018465882014-10-28T20:42:19.114-05:002014-10-28T20:42:19.114-05:00I have had a busy month as well but for me it'...I have had a busy month as well but for me it's been mostly work related, which still equals a lot of fun things so I can't complain too much! I am looking forward to a bit more quiet in November. Work is still looking pretty busy but I have a few less weekend work commitments so that's good.<br /><br />We are handing out candy to kids on Halloween, which I always really enjoy doing. I would like to go to a Halloween party as I really enjoy halloween parties, but haven't been to one in a few years. Maybe one day when we have more space we will start hosting them :) <br /><br />Hope you're having fun carving pumpkins tonight!

We plan to hand out mini chocolate bars and Cheezies, and maybe suckers or some kind of little candy too.

Wow!! <br /><br />Sounds like so much fun! I've always wanted to do murder mystery dinner. I don't know how it works, but it sounds fun! <br /><br />We have no Halloween plans since Ryan goes on night shift again starting Friday. I'm goin to be honest and say that we made up some "white lies" to get out of the Halloween parties we were invited to. I hate costumes. Lol <br /><br /><br />Have fun this week! Can't wait to see your carving!!

Very happy this month is quickly coming to a close.<br /><br />Reminds me a poster we have hanging in the kitchen at work ... it says, "You can sleep when you're dead!" ha. Sigh.<br /><br />Gavin gets to dress up for a Halloween parade at his school on Friday. They are also having a pumpkin painting/carving contest (every kid gets to bring in a decorated pumpkin). We'll go trick or treating with friends in our neighborhood that evening. Though, truth be told, I'm all sugared out after Gavin's birthday weekend - holy moly! =)Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-80100926991415372382014-10-27T10:34:42.165-05:002014-10-27T10:34:42.165-05:00You are one busy lady!

D and I were talking about hosting a party next year but all of our friends have kids and don't get sitters so it would be challenging... (not that I don't like kids, of course). <br /><br />We have all kinds of candy: milky way, snickers, 3 musketeers, kit kats, peanut butter cups and I also have fruit snacks in case anyone is allergic to chocolate and/or nuts! Our plan is to hang out at home with a funny Halloween movie and hand out candy. We are pretty fun people, let me tell you =) I'm hoping a few of our friends stop by with their toddlers dressed up!Norahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10673644115797850874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-35339491170535907162014-10-27T08:52:56.978-05:002014-10-27T08:52:56.978-05:00By the way, it sounds like you have a wonderful we...By the way, it sounds like you have a wonderful week of activities planned! This weekend while cleaning up the lawn, I was thinking about winter and that I could sit by the fireplace and read books instead of raking, which I am looking forward to now!

We had one of the most beautiful leaf changing displays I have ever seen and I understand there is a scientific reason for it, but haven't read up on it myself.

We are all like QUICK fit in everything fun before winter comes, ha ha. <br />All the things you have coming up sound fun though- I wish I could taste that pumpkin soft serve you made! :) <br /><br />I'm curious in your planner- do you write things on the month at a glance and on the week at a glance? I never know what to write on the month one because I always use the week one and would have to write it again. Just curious!
