somehow it all comes together every year...
i'm happy when the 31st has come and gone. yet, even in saying all of that, it is always fun seeing their excitement~ to see them having real and silly fun. plus, the Reece's peanut butter cups my sweeties share with me help to soften my bad attitude a little as well....good thing....
one of the annual Halloween highlights for our crew is the wild and crazy church Harvest Party, followed by a trip to the house of a sweet couple, N&R. our kids also refer to Mrs. N as "the nice lady"~ because one who is generous with candy must be nice, right? :) beyond the candy, she really is a beautiful example of someone who truly understands and loves the joy of giving. every year she spoils our six (and even Jeff and I get a bag with something wonderful inside. who does that????) with personal and creative bags made up of Halloween treasures. this year the kids each got a bottle of Jones soda. this is special stuff. a real step up from the Kroger brand pop they are accustomed to. AJ just about flipped his lid with excitement as he consumed this the next evening during supper.
want a sip??? look closely, dear readers.....backwash much, AJ?
that's more than backwash, that's nearly half a hamburger bun in the neck of that bottle...not to mention the floaties in the remaining orange soda. gulp. feeling a bit nauseous here, and he's my son....
so, as the carved pumpkins find their final resting place among the compost pile, it is time to shift gears to the approaching holiday season. so much more worth celebrating, in my opinion. and very soon the sights and sounds of Christmas will be evident through our home....love it!!! might go dig out my CD's right now...
