Happy Halloween Birthday!

I was worried that Halloween weekend was going to blow. Had my spell and a little sinus ickiness, but I got to feeling better and it all came together. I made a huge pot of chili that fed everyone throughout the weekend. Robin and I left after a late breakfast Saturday morning. Mom had called, saying that there was a jogging stroller at a local yard sale. It was a bust and it was for the best. She's not one of these women who wants one just because they are cool, she actually runs. I think she needs a Bob, Baby Jogger Performance or Schwinn. She's worried about the cost, but I think it will be worth the money to get a quality jogging stroller.

We left the yard sale empty handed and headed back to Oneonta. Allison was trying to get Amber ready for some head shots for her upcoming pageant, so we decided to help out with that. We took over. Robin and I ran to Wal-Mart, threw together some cute outfits, I did her hair and Robin directed. It was a lot of fun, not at all what we'd planned for the day. I got home and got to cooking, again.

Everyone showed up, ate and had a good time together. The guys spent most of their time in the living room watching football. The ladies hung out in the kitchen with me watching horror movies. Derek was unfortunate enough to spend just a little too much time in the kitchen and got pinned down with Mother asking him about his "intentions". That'll teach him. Poor fella. I painted Mom, Allison and Amber's faces. Not a great job, thanks to beer, but it was entertaining.

A few beers more and, yes, we end up doing things we may regret.....like taking bathroom pictures. Here we have a different kind of photo shoot. Hey, at least we all got along. I only threatened to kick one persons ass that night. In my defense, that particular person should have taken into account whose home they were in. I don't let people sass me and walk all over me like my mother.

We all had a really good weekend together. Loved having Eric, Robin, Boggs & Bernie here and the rest of the family running in and out. Hope Thanksgiving is just as good. Can't wait! Turkey! Hmmmm, need to get one. And need to make some plans. Momma is coming over to get her hair done this afternoon....must remember to discuss.
