Halloween, Halloween

This is Halloween.

So Mur and I tried to take the Bug trick-or-treating. She didn't seem to get the point (she's only 20 months after all) but even worse, she screamed all the way down the block and back. Nothing made her happy. Dig ended up putting her to bed early. We think she was just tired.

After that, Dig manned the Candy and Mur and I went to get groceries for this week. I have been trying to plan food at the start, shop, and  then cook all week. So far so good I think. about $130 for four people for the week. That's not bad, right? That would be like... $65 for two people for a week, which is about what the hubby and I used to spend.

Anyways, we came home and they went to check out this house down across the street that was done up for Halloween. They came back to get me to go look. So I went with Mur and the Hubby while Dig manned candy again. It was decent. About what I might do next year if I'm not inspired to go all goth. There were two guys dressed up and acting like dummies. I walked up to look at the pumpkins and when I walked back one had followed me down the driveway. I turned around and looked at him before saying "Oh hi." Mur was all "Damn and I thought you were a screamer." I told her "I'm just waiting for the other one to move."

So when we went to leave the second one ran up behind me and grabbed me around the waist. Apparently Dig heard me scream all the way back to the house. -_-;

It wasn't my best Halloween. I didn't have any decor up at all. Not one thing. But honestly, I've been so busy I forgot until Friday it was going to be here. And I've been working on NaNo so I haven't been myself. Next year I plan to have tons of decor and as much fun stuff as I can fit into the yard. Hopefully if they are still here, they can help and the Bug will be older. Perhaps next year she won't scream so much.

Speaking of NaNo. I'm almost ready. It starts in 5 mins. I doubt I'm going to start typing tonight. I have to be up at 6am for the bug and everything. IF she sleeps in I should be able to type for a while before she gets up, again when she naps and again after Mur gets home. I should be good with 2 hours a night. I plan to try and get maybe three or four.

I have my playlist build. I have my notes. I have my ideas. I just have to hope it flows into a story.
