Halloween!


It's Halloween! When I was a kid, we did the dress up and Trick-or-Treat thing but it definitely wasn't the biggest holiday. You all know that Christmas is my fave. But that's ok, Halloween is the one that's here now so we'll discuss it.

Lots of people at my office dress up every year, but this year Tiffanie and I (the loan officer I work with) got busy and just ran out of time. However, lots of other people dressed up and it was quite amusing.

Construction was 'Hurricane Ike survivors' and they decorated their office with Ike hating signs, lanterns, lots of debris, etc. It was awesome. Tilson were prisoners. They hung bars on their door and wore bright orange prison uniforms and chained themselves together with black construction paper rings. Also excellent one. Another good one was Sarah Palin, a perfect replica. Everyone did a really really good job, it's a fun day with a change of pace.

Tonight is Trunk or Treat at church! Patrick and I are decorating our 'trunk' with camping gear. Our small group is going to convene together beforehand so we can have our trunks together, and so far we have a camping themed trunk, a pirate themed trunk, and two other themes that I don't remember. But we will definitely post pictures. Has anyone else noticed how ridiculously expensive candy is?! We spent $20 on candy last week for our trunk and it did not get us very far. But we're glad we can do it.
We are also going to the A&M game this weekend. We haven't been to a game yet this season, which really wasn't our plan from the beginning but you know... it's been a rough season. Rebuilding, if you will. The Aggies play Colorado, and this and Baylor are pretty much their two chances left for winning (hopefully). So we shall see! We haven't been to the great city of College Station since May when Patrick graduated, so we are actually pretty excited to go up there. We miss it.
I'm off. Tiffanie made some AMAZING cake balls that I need to snatch up before they are all gone. Happy Halloween!
