Halloween has come and gone....

It's been while since I have added onto this blog, I do apologize for that. I haven't been doing well, been in a a lot of pain but that is to be expected with my tendon and nerve problems. Today I am well enough to tell you about what we did for Halloween.I have a 9 year old nephew I have raised like a son and he dressed up as Dracula, I have to admit he was a great looking Dracula. He went to school and he said that the younger kids that saw him became frighten. As any little boy he thought this to be the funniest thing ever. So when we got home after school we had an early dinner he got to relax after his homework then I re-did his Dracula Make-up. Like always I Zombied out my face although this year it was more punk zombie mixed with joker mouth, anyways it was kinda creepy-ish. So we started out for trick-o-treating, the funny thing is we get into the car to go to a different neighborhood and my boy has the biggest pillow case he could find plus he had a plastic bag. He saw me kinda chuckle and said "This isn't my first rodeo!!" I busted out laughing. Sometimes this kid is just way too much!! So it was me, my mother and Dracula going out trick-o-treating, my mother drove while me and Dracula were walking around going house to house. When it got dark enough my mother and I switched (she doesn't like driving in the dark) so while I was driving I was watching all the costumes and people walking around. I noticed that all the people trick-o-treating were of ALL ages, not just kids. I starting thinking, maybe that's why a lot of people were offering me candy and asking where my bag was, I just go because I have fun walking and going with my boy. But maybe next year I will also carry a bag, tee hee. I saw adult couples trick-o-treating, in my hometown Santa Paula California THAT was never seen!! I remember as a kid I would walk around with my parents and when I got older I still went around trick-o-treating until I was spotted by someone that recognized me and told me I was too old and they wouldn't give me candy, so I got a little cousin to go with me the next year. I have always loved to dress up for Halloween but I don't like parties. I am a family type of girl. So my point is that New Mexico for Halloween is soooo much cooler, ADULTS also get candy WOOOHOOO!!! I think this should be practiced everywhere, because if an adult can take the time to dress up and get a costume and go out with their kid or alone then people SHOULD give then candy, the rule is as long as they say "trick-o-treat". The original tradition started with adults and just morphed into a child thing. So to end my story we got home and my Dracula had almost the entire pillow case FULL of candy, I couldn't carry it my dad had to get it into the house. I went through the bag of candy and sadly I found about 5 pieces that were very suspicious so I threw them away, still leaving us with a big pile of candy. Probably last us a heck of a long time. I truly hope that everyone everywhere had a great Halloween!!!
