Do you like my costume???

10:30 am time before lunch

Checking my mail, my email, and this blog.

I've gotten to the point where I have been able to keep up with this blog and it feels great.

As I checked everything in the mail room, this group of little preschoolers came in a single file line, almost racing to the mail room from the cold outside.

The first two girls walked past this soda machine and told their mommies, while pointing at the soda machines, that "these are for daddies!" And the moms agreed. I guess the stereotype for daddies are now adult males drinking sodas.

These two girlies walked past me and I told one that I liked her pumpkin costume and the girl said "thank you" and the the next girl over asked me, "do you like my costume???" And i eagerly nodded my head and said "yes, it looks very pretty." It was a fairy princess costume.

           

And as the rest of the group came forward, a light buzz year led the way and tried to open up all the locked mailboxes and all the kids followed him and pretended as if they could open them and as if they owned them. And for a second, I believed them.


The last of the group was this cute little lion walking along like a stumbling, baby deer. And as I waved to him the mom told him to say hello, and in this big, loud voice, he greeted me.


Thumbs up to these cute little kids who brightened my day.

All Hallows' Eve

Hal·low·een  [hal-uh-ween, -oh-een, hol-]
noun
the evening of October 31; the eve of All Saints' Day; All hallows Eve: observed especially by children in costumes who solicit treats, often by threatening minor pranks. (dictionary.com)

Holidays don't seem to be that important unless you have close friends and family to share them with. There was no way I would go trick or treating if my brother and sister didn't go with me. And we would always share our candy. In a sort of specialized way where we would each get our own favorite candies we liked and not have to eat the candies we didn't like.

  I never really liked candy corn.

11 pm Halloween

Halloween was postponed til tomorrow. It's probably because there are strong winds and chances of tornadoes at the moment. And for a second, the lights flickered in the room I'm in right now.  Fortunately, neighborhood kids don't have to worry about going to bed early for school the next day. 

Also, yesterday a theme house at my college had a Writer's Block Halloween Party and I got to carve my first pumpkin with one of my best friends. It had a really crooked smile that I'm proud of. If i do get a picture of it I'l make sure to post it. Today, me and my boyfriend got to go to Goodwill and buy plain shirts to decorate. We're going to dress up as M&Ms. We bought paint and painted our shirts. Hopefully, I'll get pictures of us dressed up for the party this Saturday. 

Tomorrow, we're having an Indian festival where there'll be Indian food, music, henna, and fireworks. I'm really excited. I would be stoked with just the henna but everything else will definitely make it more enjoyable. But that's at 9 pm. From 6-8 is a diversity workshop, 8-9 is an improv group show that performs at times throughout the school year and it's run by students. Their shows are super hilarious. And 9-10:30 is the Indian festival. 

Sooo much to dooooo.

Tomorrow is Friday though, so it's all good.

Thumbs up for all hallows' eve.
