Halloween Weekend

Month end Friday wasn’t that bad. Had our best month of the year.

That night Will went to a costume party for his Wednesday Veritas school. Ceil took Anna to her friend Molly’s house, where Ceil stayed til midnight sewing Halloween costumes. I took Matthew to see that hamster spy move G-Force at the Picture Show. Then we went got to Moes at 8:45. The guy was sweeping up, even though the sign said they’d be open til ten. After that we went over to Molly’s, and went with her dad Jim (& Anna, Molly, & two other girls) to get Will and Molly’s brother Spencer from the party. Saw basketball star Connor, and his dad. Also playmaker Audrey.

Worked around the house Saturday, and posted more retreat pictures on Facebook. Waited all day for the GA/FL game, then had to take Will over near NP Mall for a party at 3:45. Got back, and had to take Anna over to Molly’s at 4:45. Got back & realized the front walk & driveway needed to be cleared before the trick-or-treaters came. Slipped on mud covering part of the walk, due to all the rain. Worked to clear all that off for about an hour…so I missed just about all of GA/FL.

Just a few kids came by for candy. Ceil & Anna returned at halftime of the Tech game, then I went after Matthew, who had gone out with friends in their two neighborhoods. Watched the rest of the Tech game over there. Will went straight to another party with his Living Science friends, at my chaperone pal Sandy’s house. First year ever Will didn’t trick-or-treat. Guess Joel was there, but I’m not sure.

My Hooters neighbor went to Series Game One in New York. Had upper deck seats, then upgraded to lower deck…and found a lady & son outside Yankee Stadium to give his extras to. She was overjoyed. Will, of course, wants to work for Hooters.

Didn’t do much Sunday after church.

With Clemson/FSU kickoff not until 7:45 Saturday, Ceil is trying to decide what to do with her two tickets. I told her I would drive her and Will up there if she wanted to go, since it’s her birthday weekend. Matthew and I could hang out, try for tickets, eat, or go to a movie.
