Halloween

The longer I live in Utah the more and more I like Halloween. And I think it's because people celebrate it like they do Christmas here. And I have always liked dressing up. Growing up my best friend Monica Sanchez and I would dress up pretty much everyday. Even when we were in highschool. We trick or treated until we were at least 16. Some people might think that that was too old but really it was either that, hanging out with my best friend having fun and making memories, or going to some party and drinking with all the rest of the High schoolers (and just FYI I have never drank in my life). We were the good kids, staying out of trouble and having fun. We always dressed up and never took pillowcases for our candy. We were never those hoodlum teenagers out for candy causing trouble. I find it sad that there are so many moms that cut their kids off once they turn 12. They are still kids and I would rather have them going door to door than getting drunk. 

Anyways, today was fun. I got to help out in Tallie's class and do a craft with them for their halloween party. I made homemade slime and put it in babyfood jars and had the kids paper mache the jars as ghosts or pumpkins. When I walked into Tallie's class and she saw me I think she was super embarrassed. She didn't know I was going to be Lalaloopsy and she wouldn't look at me or even say hello. When I popped my head into Chloe's class she was so excited and was all "That's my Mom!". Her and Tallie are so opposite.

The kids had a parade at school for the parents and it was so cute to see them strut their stuff. Once TJ got home from work he took the kids to Sonic because they were having 50 cent corn dogs. Then it was time to Trick or Treat. Tj made fun of me because I had bought the Cheezits and Pretzel bags to hand out at our house. He thought I was so lame but who doesn't like a little salt with all their sweet? Plus if I had any leftovers it's nice to throw those things into lunches. Well I had some bigger boys and lots of kids so excited to get that stuff, asking if they could take more than one. Guess TJ was wrong on that one. Anyways I bought 80 bags and totally ran out! I had to turn the lights off. There are just way too many kids in our neighborhood. Tj was telling me I should have bought more. I said no way, I didn't need to supply the WHOLE neighborhood with food.

 This was Kasen's last minute costume. Mike Wazowski from Monster's Inc. I thought it would keep him warm and happy. Turns out I just left him at home with TJ to go to bed.

Tallie was a black cat, Chloe a Spanish dancer, and Lexi a fairy.
