Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween!
We rocked Halloween this year.
Pumpkin lights, window jellies, skulls in the long windows, a full wall stick up (that required an obscene amount of tape) for people to take pictures against, colored light bulbs, eye balls in drinks, Halloween cups, bowls, table cloth, treats, cobwebs, pumpkins, pumpkin garland, caution tape, ghosties in trees, and a fog machine. (What, normal people don't do fog machines?)
In attendance were:
Thor, Queen of Mardi Gras, Spiderman, the Dude (Big Lebowski), an Angel, Michael Jackson, the Grim Reaper, the Devil, Queen of Hearts, a Banana, a Fire Fighter, a Ninja, and Mike and I (Zombie Convict and Bumblebee respectively).
It was a good party, a little low-key, as Ocktoberfest was the night before, our friends and us go every year.
I'm pumped to go home and hand out treats to the kiddies, I love that part!
Our older cat hated everything as he is a grumpy bum, but our younger cat had a time chasing everyone's lost feathers and glitter. Our dog ran around like she usually does getting attention. Everyone loves her, which I don't get because most people hate annoying, large dogs. But Gracie is just so sweet you have to love her.
Now you may think from this post that were total Halloween junkies. This actually isn't true, I just wanted to have a Halloween party and Michael insisted we go all out. So we did.
Now Christmas... I love Christmas SO much. I am a crazy Christmas person. Once December 1st hits, BAM, out come the decorations and holiday cheer. (I would start on November 16th, the day after my birthday but Michael won't have it).

On the flip side Michael starts tertiary treatment this week, he's now going to physio from 8-12 Monday through Friday. The poor guy is in pain all of the time and I feel just awful for him.
We also need our mortgage insurance renewed which is irritating as Michael's doctor is currently away.
Things will be a little easier now as were getting a roommate starting December 1st. It's not my ideal situation but we could really use the extra money towards bills with Michael still being off and Christmas coming up. She seems nice enough and has a steady job, so we should be alright.

Hope you all had a spooky Halloween & enjoy all the cute lil trick or treaters.
