There were no treaters in either location. Here, the neighborhood was overrun! I'm kind of sad I missed it, but I had so much fun at the play. I haven't played Wii in ever. The last time I played, I got in one of those stupid moods where I kept making Wii versions of people I knew. Or characters in books. You know.<br /><br />Steffanie, so glad you didn't have any bad dreams! I bet Chloie is a doll. I love little dogs with big dog attitudes :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847715247476489743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-51996878044979069892009-11-02T11:54:51.862-05:002009-11-02T11:54:51.862-05:00You'll be happy to know, Natalie, that I did n...You'll be happy to know, Natalie, that I did not have my scary masked crazy in the backyard dream. :) I slept peacefully. :) Harry Potter....this time of year makes me want to read the entire series over. I am going to sometime. Haha. I loved that movie. By far, I think it was the best one. Biscuit sounds like my dog, Chloie. She is a Yorkie but has the fierceness of a German Sheperd. She's a beast :) Hope you had fun at the play!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-87934325151692621072009-11-01T09:14:49.357-05:002009-11-01T09:14:49.357-05:00I'll definitely try to get pictures of my tree...I'll definitely try to get pictures of my trees. =) I'm very excited about putting mine up later today! Like Elvis sang, "Oh, why can't every day be like Christmas?" My cat likes to chew on the branches of my mini-tree, but he doesn't mess with my big one. I think he's afraid of it. Last year, he broke a few ornaments off of our artificial tree. Then we had a catastrophe one night when we heard a crash and our huge real tree had fallen over, breaking a ton of ornaments (but thankfully not our favorite ones). My parents thought that Jack had done it, but then they discovered that it was so huge that it wasn't in the base straight, so it was leaning terribly. So Jack was cleared of all blame. =)<br /><br />We did have a lovely Halloween. =) At church we only have the Wii sports game that comes with it, but someone had left "Mario Party" in there, so we had a blast playing that. So much better than bowling, LOL. How was your Halloween?<br /><br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-78136943008372156822009-10-31T21:48:35.915-04:002009-10-31T21:48:35.915-04:00Candi, spending Halloween with cute little kids ha...Candi, spending Halloween with cute little kids has to be the best! :) I bet you'll have such a fun night. And I'm right there with you, I'm a southern girl no matter where I go. I don't like the humidity down here, but I love the mountains and the personalities. Plus, I'm pretty sure my accent is here to stay at this point.<br /><br />Kristin, post a pic of your trees on your blog! I want to see what they look like. I am such a Christmas dork. I wish the Christmas season could last for months and months :) I have a little tree too, but I can't decide if I want to set it up this year. I'm afraid my dog will eat the ornaments. Also, I cannot stress this enough: tacos and Wii sounds like the PERFECT Halloween! I'm so jealous of your fun! :) Never fear book length comments. As you've probably observed, I tend to get a little long winded on here ... <br /><br />JBJ, I would love to see MP on Broadway. I saw the snippet they did at the Tony's a few years ago (when Gavin Creel was Burt) and it was wonderful. The toy scene .... that does not sound wonderful. I'll remember to close my eyes during that part :) I downloaded a few songs from it. When I was a kid, I thought it was all fun and magical. That's not one I tend to gravitate back toward these days, but I liked it. You are most welcome on the props.

It's not creepy at all to me...but if you ever get a chance to see the Broadway show, see it. But there is one totally random-stuck-in-there scene that is uber creepy. Like a few years later and I'm still bothered by it. Let's just say the things in your room should only come alive to play with you. Not terrorize you. <br /><br />And the peanut butter thingies in ugly wrappers that if kept too long become one WITH the wrappers--no, no, no.Jenny B.

But you know what's even worse? =) I'm planning on putting up my Christmas tree tomorrow. I have a 60's aluminum tree (it makes a pretty tinkling sound, not a hard metal knock like those on Charlie Brown) that I put up in my room, decorated with my Elvis, Lucy, and other assorted oldies ornaments (I have a small one that I keep up all year). And I'll be listening to Relient K's "Let It Snow, Baby...Let It Reindeer" while I put up my tree. The rest of my family isn't so obsessive. Our real tree won't go up until after Thanksgiving, and our artifical one in the kitchen will probably be up by the middle of November. I try not to get too far ahead, but one month is not long enough to enjoy Christmas!<br />I like "Mary Poppins," but that trailer is very creepy, LOL.<br />As for Halloween, my church is having a teen thing tonight where we can dress up. Have I said this before in a comment? Because it sounds like I have. Anyway, I made a poodle skirt, so I'm doing the 50's thing. I'll probably have some pictures of our group on my blog soon. We were supposed to have a hay ride and a bonfire with roasted marshmallows, but as it's cold and rainy, we'll probably be confined to the basement with the Wii and tacos. Besides "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" and "The Corpse Bride," I love to watch "Arsenic and Old Lace" near Halloween. My favorite candy is a good old original Hershey's bar, but I also love Reese's. When I was about three, I was Minnie Mouse. It wasn't a real costume, but I had a pink Minnie sweatshirt, little grey mouse ears on a headband, and whiskers painted on my cheeks (do mice even have whiskers?). We still have those mouse ears in our box of toys here, and every kid who comes to our house always finds them and has to try them on. =)<br />Wow, this comment is like a book.<br />~KristinKristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592919145644124930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-44689647060038839172009-10-31T10:56:16.603-04:002009-10-31T10:56:16.603-04:00Isn't fall beautiful??

I went up north for just a visit & while I know lots of wonderful people who love it there..my hearts just rooted in the south. Fall makes those roots go just a little bit deeper. <br /><br />Re: Mary Poppins-That totally creeped me out. But honestly...I have always been a little creeped out by her. Julie Andrews however is an AMAZING lady!! She's so pretty & sweet...and that voice! My word...what I wouldn't give to be able to sing like that!! <br /><br />I am not dressing up this year...instead I think I'm gonna help my little brother throw a halloween party for all their little friends (my little bro's are 7 & 9 so it'll be loads of fun!!) or take them trick or treating. Then I'm babysitting for some friends till late tonight...SPOOKY!! lol. :)Candinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-1579536904106358112009-10-31T00:30:13.579-04:002009-10-31T00:30:13.579-04:00Samantha, I apologize for making fun of your peanu...Samantha, I apologize for making fun of your peanut butter candy. ;) I had no idea they were called Mary Janes. I think maybe I had a bad exeperience with them when I was a kid, or something, because I rarely meet a candy I don't like. I did like Mary Poppins when I was a kid. I think Julie Andrews is so pretty and classy. I want to check her biography out from the library. She really intrigues me!natawriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00038647888493255992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157829453707942005.post-6587361461792653942009-10-31T00:08:32.229-04:002009-10-31T00:08:32.229-04:00I am the weirdo who LOVES those peanut butter thin...I am the weirdo who LOVES those peanut butter things ("Mary Janes") in the orange and brown wrappers. My mom always bought them for trick-or-treaters, but we never had many, so I got to eat them all. :)<br /><br />And that Mary Poppins trailer is creepy. I actually watched that movie last weekend (randomly, two girls and like eight guys, who picked that over "West Side Story." It was musical night.). I never thought about it being creepy, but I suppose you can look at it that way. I personally would like to stick to my happy, fun, memory of this movie from childhood.<br /><br />And a favorite Halloween movie... I didn't watch them really growing up, but I always saw clips of "Double Double Toil and Trouble" with MKA and loved what I saw!Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679461301098095693noreply@blogger.com
