So, I've just now realized that I have lost the admin rights to my own blog here. Apparently when I tried to add my yahoo email address to it, so I could log on from either address, I made a mistake. I can't change the layout or anything. And yet I can still post. Strange. I may have to cancel this one and start another.
I did manage to take these 2 photos of Nathan yesterday with my camera phone. For moving pics, they ain't bad. Halloween in the neighborhood was about a 180 from last years. I think it's because the primary ghoul decorators have moved elsewhere. Last year was almost like a block party. This year? Snoozefest.
Now, last year Nathan had a hissy fit when I made him put his costume on and dragged him around the block for trick or treating. For him, the best part was when we got home, I popped open the hatch on the SUV, and we sat in the back and passed out candy. And up until 15 minutes before trick or treating officially began on post, he was steadfast in not wanting to go trick or treating. Yet, surprise, surprise. He sees his friend next door all decked out, and he starts to change his mind. He goes out in the skeleton hoodie to hang with Max. Then he thinks Max and his family are gonna drive somewhere for trick or treating and that he couldn't go. The meltdown of '09 is on.
Turns out they didn't drive anywhere, they walked the block. I got him to simmer down and we both went, too. But there just wasn't hardly anyone giving out candy. so we drove over to Trunk Or Treat by the PX. He didn't really get much there, either. By the time we got back home, there was still 45 minutes of Halloween time left on post, but I guess the ghouls and ghosties had all gone elsewhere, so we didn't have very many takers. Fine by me - got to watch the OU/Kansas game. But now I have way more candy than either of us need. May have to take all the smarties to work and hope the pregnant soldiers eat them all.
