Halloween #2

For those of you who are scrambling today to get the costumes finished and trying to get something healthy into the tummies of your ghosts and goblins, take heart. One day you will be like me, trying to decide where you'll be going out for dinner tonight in order to avoid the trick or treaters who might come to your door.


Except for the birth of Kristen, Halloween holds few sweet memories for me.

I am SO GLAD I don't have to dress anyone up tonight, except for myself.

Halloween

Halloween is not usually the first thing that pops in my mind when October 31 rolls around, even though it's all around. For me, October 31 is the day that I can celebrate the birth of my fourth child. She's 20 today.

I keep reminding myself that she's 20. I can't believe that my baby is 20. I no longer have teenaged children. They are all in their 20's. Where did the time go?

Kristen is on the road today, travelling from Alberta to Vancouver with the rest of her "Outtatown" team. She's having a great time and I think that she will say that the year she turned twenty was one of the most memorable years of her life. I think she misses home a wee bit but she has always been very adaptable which makes being away a little easier for her than for some.

Happy birthday my schatje.
