A different sort of Halloween

I took the boys to a festival.

 

It was great.  They had all sorts of things for them to do:

 

1. Trick or Treating (of course) at tents and businesses.
2. Bounce houses and slides
3. A wizard who looked oddly like the mall Santa (he is a really good Santa and a wizard for that matter, real beard and all).
4. characters to take pics with (tall scarecrow, Darth Vader, etc)
5. There was a carnival type area too, but it was EXPENSIVE!

 

There were all sorts of people in costumes; these two toddlers were dressed as McCain and Obama (it was priceless).  I really liked it!  I think I will take them there every year.  It was definitely better than the boring old walk around the neighborhood and had the added bonus that they were having so much fun that they did not get that much candy!

Ahhhh...a night out

Babe and I got a much needed night out!  The M-Word watched the boys overnight and Babe and I went to a Halloween Concert and stayed at a hotel next door so we could drink and not drive home!  Oh and drink we did, we got lost walking back to the hotel…oops.  It was so much fun, but Babe did have to work the next day….he was sleepy.

 

I do not think that we have had a night out in a year and we never go out together.  Babe is kinda a homebody, but he has never minded me going out.  Still I don’t get the chance much with my lack of funds.  I’m really not much of a partier (not like I use to be).

 

I actually like that he does not want to go out with me.  I think nights out together all the time lead to arguments and suffocating.  We are happy to be together or apart and I think that is why we have lasted.  I hate it when a guy wants to hang around all the time, I get nauseous that way.
