Happy Halloween

So Halloween has finally made itself known all across the United States once more. Children are going around, house to house, getting as much candy as they possibly can. I, for the last time, was one of those children. I, however, am unable to eat the candy and gave it all to Eli.

Cassidy, Standish, and I were walking around in SilverLeaf this year. There were all sorts of different houses. There was one with a man sitting on the porch in a 'Headless Horseman' costume and holding a pumpkin in his hand. He scared Standish quite a bit. One house was completely 'haunted' and had a man dressed up as a wolf lurking in the bushes. There were fog machines, cobwebs, eerie music, skeletons, strobe lights, ghosts, witches, and everything else you could possibly think of.

Earlier in my day, I was awaken by a frightening nightmare with al sorts of scary, gory, things. I immediatley went and checked all of my emails and online profiles. Then, I made Cassidy and my lunch. Before going to her elementary school for lunch, I dropped by the infamous Eastside, my old high school, for Wade Hampton Week. Today was Senior Servant day and all of the seniors were dressed up as hilarious characters. I saw one of my friends, Bennett, and was so glad to see him. He was actually the reason I wanted to go. He just makes me feel happy with all of his ideas and everything that he talks about. Perfect smile, perfect personality, almost creepy. But he's a great friend of mine.

I went to Cassidy's school for lunch. We had a great time talking about what we were going to be for Halloween and where we might go. It's great to see all of these other parents come in with McDonald's Happy Meals for their children. While we were sitting there today, another woman was there to eat lunch with her daughter. I was disgusted by the woman's behavior towards the precious girl. The mother was texting or snapping at the child the entire time. The girl kept trying to tell her mom about her day or tell her a little story or something and the mom would tell her to stop bothering her and stuff like that. I think that if you make the time to come and be with your child at lunch then you should actually SPEND the time with them.

After lunch, I went to Travelers Rest to get the PO Box mail. I wasn't feeling very good during the drive up there or back. I was afraid I was going to be sick, so I hurried up the most that I could without getting pulled over.

When I got home, I talked to Cody, through myspace messages which was fun. I also did my computer assignment which was due by midnight. I submitted it and everything which made me happy. Around 3:45 I went and picked up the girls and we got started on carving their pumpkins. Standish did a little Tamigotchi looking face, I had done the Joker from 'The Dark Knight' a few days earlier, and Cassidy did a vampire with a little pumpkin in its mouth. I had seen the idea on a pumpkin carving contest show. They're all adorable!

For our costumes, I was, of course, Super Kenzi. Cassidy was a witch. Standish was a wizard. Mom was... mom.

Michael didn't go with us this year. Instead he went to the Eastside vs. Wade Hampton football game. EHS didn't win the football game, but they won the charity contest by over $100,000! That's the best we've done in 11 years.
