Halloween Fun

The Cottons and the Fowlers hosted their Halloween party last night. A good time was had by all. I was not sure the Wallerichs were going to make it. Emma has not felt well for days. She has a sore throat and just drainage. Yuck! She made it to school on Friday and even made a 100 on her spelling test. Her first one!!! She even not so good that day, she received a magical gem at PE. A magical gem for those of you out of the loop is a glass bead, fish or trinket. The kids love them, especially Emma. Back to the party, Emma was crying, laying on the couch and generally not in a good mood. Cleveland was at work! No surprise there. Well, we finally got dressed after the hair curling and the drying of tears. We went to the party without Daddy. He arrived later. We ate hot dogs, chips, brownies, cookies. There was even a dish of brains, but we refrained. After eating, the whole troop set out to Trick or Treat in the Tanglewood neighborhood. We walked and walked until Darrell took pity on us. Darrell, Doug and Cleveland went back to the house and got the truck complete with a trailer loaded with hay for a hay ride. We finished Trick or Treating on the hayride. Back at the house, we toasted marshmallows and smashed a pinata.
Daddy gave out first and headed home about 9:00. He had been up since 4:30. Emma and I gave out about 9:30. A Happy Halloween was had by all. Thanks to the Cottons and the Fowlers.
