Happy Halloween!

Ok, so this post was supposed to be for yesterday, but time and exhaustion took over...

First off, I want to thank everyone for there kind comments to my last post! Seriously, I appreciate everything everyone said and I am so thankful for your understanding! Just to clarify, I was speaking for myself and others. It was something I felt needed to be said and I feel like you all understood where I was coming from.  So, thank you so much!

Now, where in the world did this weekend go? We have literally been running around since Friday morning. I still did not have a costume for Saturday's festivities so we spent all morning trying to figure out what I could be. We had a few ideas, but nothing really sang to me. Tony was going as a Ghostbuster and it was supposed to be funny and kind of lame, but he started building a proton pack with box wine (yes, he built his beverage into the costume) and assorted electronics we had around here...the darn thing started to look real.

That made me feel pressure for a better costume. After all the places we went looking, we ended up at the Good Will. Just when I was about to give up, I spotted a retired cheerleader costume and figured why not. Most people thought it was my costume from when I was in high school. I was not a cheerleader in school and sadly, the girl who had this before filled the top out way better than me. Oh well, since I ran out of time, for $3.69, this was what I had. I told the boys it was too bad that the outfit is not from their high school, so I could wear it to their games in a few years (I am completely joking, but I love to see them squirm). Neither of them were amused by this. Max wore a Robin costume from when he was 4 and it was way too small, but that was what he thought was funny about it and Jay wanted a shirt that said "costume" so that is what he got. We had a great night with friends and it was such a blast to hang out and be goofy.

I did not take my camera due to the amount of drinking and craziness that would go on, so I only had my camera from my phone and I swiped a few pictures from friends. Our friends know how to do Halloween, that's for sure. There house is perfectly decorated and the food is always amazing! Thanks guys for the festive evening!

We took the boys yesterday to go trick-or-treating at the mall. That was a first for us, but our neighborhood decided to take over the holiday and make it on Saturday. In all honesty, I am still angry about the whole thing, but I had no control over it and we made the best of it. Mall trick-or-treating is not good, but the blizzards the boys got afterwards made it a fun outing after all.

I missed a blogger meet up on Friday that I was sad about, but we promised the boys that we would take them to Fright Night at Six Flags and since last weekend was crazy with my parents coming in to town and other plans that were already made, Friday was our only opportunity to go. I learned a very important lesson that night...don't go on the Wheely.  Ugh, I was sick to my stomach for the next three days. I would say it was my age, but I remember that one from when I was a kid and what can I say, I don't like to spin around fast. I wanted to ride with the boys though. I missed my friend Nayoung on this trip. She would do all the crazy rides that I can't stomach.

It was a crazy weekend, but we had a blast and enjoyed friends and our own little family!
So, all in all...it was a great Halloween weekend!
