Anybody out there dress up to pass out candy? I think Ray and I are actually going to dress up for the first time this evening. Hopefully I will be leaving work at 4:00pm to pick up the kids a little early to get home for the night-o-fun. Ashley of course wanted to go trick-or-treating this morning.
Audrey update - thanks for all the advice, we did elevate her head last night and it helped a little. I just think now she is used to us holding her and wants to be like that ALL NIGHT LONG. Somehow we are going to have to break her of that without the crying out method which I can't bear.
I will post pictures tonight hopefully, blogger has not been cooperating (a common theme, I know).
Why I love Halloween - for those of you who don't know, I love ghost stories and such. One vivid memory I have from growing up is me reading a book called Appalachian Ghosts and scaring myself so much that I wouldn't go to the bathroom by myself. My parents took the book and put it on top of the fridge. And now as an adult, I still love ghost stories. I tivo Ghost Hunters on the Sci-Fi channel and A Haunting on the Discovery channel. I grew up hearing ghost stories from my Dad and Grandmother about the farmhouse my grandparents lived in. A couple of years ago, my friend Julie and I went on a ghost tour in Leesburg, Virginia. The person leading the tour believed that ghosts appeared to people who had high electric energy, such as those people who can't wear a watch because of the electricity in their body. Anyways, he walked around to everyone and felt everyone's hands to see if he could feel their "electricity". When he got to me, he about jumped back. He told me I definitely had electric energy in me (although watches work on me). Needless to say, Julie took a few steps away from me. I don't think she really wanted to see a ghost that night. So I love Halloween. I love all the shows on tv about ghosts and reading stories on the internet.
Anyways, Happy Haunting tonight and I hope all the kids have fun.

I want to dress up, but I'm not going to this year. I will be taking my kids trick or treating...again tonight (weather permitting, it's been raining this morning) for the 3rd, yes 3rd, time this Halloween alone!! I'm so glad to hear that Audrey is doing better. Alyssa has only had one fever since she was born and she feld soooo bad when it would spike up that she just wanted to sit with me all cuddled up, just like Audrey. Need Halloween pics!
Glad Audrey is doing better..
I like hearing ghost stories too- Have you seen that new show on
VH-1? I think it is called Celebrity Paranormal? Very spooky, they actually get celebrities to go into these haunted places & tell them stories of who died there etc.. and a lot of them have heard people screaming and one ghost was chasing them down the stairs- you couldn't see it but you could hear him running after them-SPOOKY!
My oldest hates Halloween- He gets very spooked out- always has..
Oh Amy. I remember your Dad telling us ghost stories and scaring the shit out of us. Still to this day when I reflect back on them, I get the shivers! That old farmhouse, how I would love to visit it and encounter a ghostly being. Ghosts, gotta love them!
Glad to hear that Audrey is doing better. I remember when Keven Jr. was litle and how sometimes I'd hold him all night just to get him to sleep. He eventually stopped at some point, thank the lord.
Can't wait to see pictures of you guys dressed up (kiddos included!). Have a Happy Halloween!
I don't dress up. Nope. Maybe in the future. I'm still trying to get used to getting two kids ready for things. Once I get that down, then I'll concentrate on myself.
