The After Effect...

So another Halloween has come and gone. Personally, I am in love with the holiday; it's exuberance, it's anonymity, and it's all around jubilance. I love dressing up, even though I'm getting old. I love taking the boys out trick or treating and running from house to house..

This year, G was superman! He did a great job being a brave hero. We did run from house to house, G of course not really running but in his mind he was flying, until he tripped on his trick or treat bag and got an owie. M was a doggie, and was too adorable. He got the luxery of daddy carting him around in his stroller while mommy did the trick or treating for him.

This year was sad, however. There were barely any houses that participated. We'd get one house, have to go down 4 more houses to get to the next one handing out candy. It really was sad.

The afternoon after, I had to go to the store for something. I looked outside; up and down our block, and it was as if Halloween never was. Even at our house, my husband had gotten up early and took our outside decorations down. It was amazing how quickly the jubilance and fun of the previous night was almost erased. Sad even.

Then, realizing it was November already hit me like a ton of bricks. Time is FLYING by at light speed. It's not fair. G's in preschool, going along ok {save for the behavior problems I'm trying to deal with} M and me are hanging out together when G's in school having a ball, and Hubby's trucking along, lonely, but trucking along. Christmas will be here before we know it. And G's birthday. Wow, I just realized that I should be planning his party now... His b~day is in the beginning of December. Holy cow.

My kids are growing up way too fast. I'm getting older way too fast. :P
