I am officially in Halloween mode!
Tomorrow night we're staying in and handing out candy. My mom, sis, and grandma are coming over and I'm making lasagna, salad, garlic bread, and gooey caramel popcorn balls for dessert. My dad is in Florida because his best friend is having surgery tomorrow after being diagnosed with cancer. Anyway, tonight I used my juicer to make homemade apple cider (I used a ton of apples just to get enough for the 5 of us!) which I'm going to simmer on the stove tomorrow with mulling spices. My house is going to smell *amazing!*
I think we're all going to dress up, but Olivia will definitely be the cutest. Can't wait to take pictures!
Today, Mary Ann and I spent a lovely (but too hot) afternoon at the pumpkin patch. I got some cute pictures I'll post with Olivia's other Halloween pictures.
Tonight, we ate dinner with my family at Red Lobster (their treat!) and then I headed over to Target to buy some Halloween plates while James picked something up at work. I'm about to get started on the popcorn balls soon!
Ok, and now for the gossip. My friends are interesting . . .
friend #1: my friend B moved in with his boyfriend of like a month today, leaving a note for his current roommate while he was at work. He cleaned out ALL his stuff and left with NO notice. Not cool. And I can promise you if he and his man break-up, he'll be at my door after Rebecca turns him away. She tried to talk some sense into him, but he's in love. He's thinking with something else right now, I'm afraid.
friend #2: she's in a not-so-good marriage, and has gone back and forth about leaving him . . . anyway, now she's gone off her birth control pills in the hopes of getting pregnant and her hubby is none the wiser. I'm worried for her . . .

Posted by: Trace at October 31, 2006 03:53 AMYour Halloween plans sound FUN! Please do post pics! How nice of your parents to treat you all to dinner :) Your gossip section is really serious~keep us updated. We had plans to take both the boys trick-or-treating tonite but now that Kendall's sick, Bobby's taking Justin & I'm keeping Kendall Boo @ home :( I will at least put Kendall in his costume & take a pic though so I can at least post a pic of him in costume. Our original plans were to take them both & Justin was going to get all the candy~I'm sure he'll be disappointed about that but you gotta do what you gotta do! Have fun tonite :) *Can't* wait to see the pics :)

On your friends gossip on friend number #1 - He will learn from this mistake in the future, that is a little to soon to move in with someone, me thinks.
Friend #2 - I'm worried for her too!
Posted by: susan at October 31, 2006 10:02 AMWhy would she want to get pregnant if she's thinking of leaving?? Why do people think children will make marriages come back from the dead??
