Yes I know almost a month ago but catching up. As some of you know Halloween is my favorite Holiday. When else can I dress up, act like an idiot and get away with it? Loaded question, easy now. We held our Second Annual Halloween Parade this year at our house and had big fun. We went as the Frankenfamily! We provided chili, hot dogs, adult "Ritas", and kids "Ritas". Everyone else brought side dishes, hot apple cider, hot chocolate, beer, wine, chips, dip, deserts (oh my) and three cases of wonderful noise makers. Think of a very irritating hoard of bees on steroids flying at Mach 3 around your head. That is the sound...over and over again...43 kids showed up in costume as parents lined the street (we were the only adults who dressed up). We paraded, some on scotters, in wagons, on tricycles, bicycles, and golf carts to the end of the street and back to our garage for diner where we ate and drank like Kings before heading out to trick or treat. Never before have I seen our "Rita" machines go empty in less than 30 minutes. Luckily several adult participants were hell bent on more margaritas and off to the liquor store they went. We of course had to oblige them.
Jackson had a great time on his first real trick or treating venture. We loaded he and Tootles in the wagon and off we went. He would smile as we went to the door and say "Teet" but he wanted to go inside and see their houses as well. After hitting about half a dozen houses with him we headed back to party central to find the adults maintaining security by the roadside impromptu bon fire. There we had about five families side by side all with our buffet line of candy for the kids to take. Afterwards the kids came inside for the candy exchange. Big fun was had by all.
Thanks for reading, Y'all tune in again soon.
