Halloween

I had a blast while my wife was sulking and muttering something about how they get old to fast

Abby getting ready
Had to show the Haunches
Come on Daddy Trick or treat,
Her little hands were getting cold
Walking to another house

Justin was Davy Jones and Abby was a cow. Joseph unfortunately made some bad decisions and 1500 dollars later (cell phone broken, new Ipod broken, computer with a virus, Deep freezer with 400 dollars worth of food broken and thawed and spoiled) and several temper tantrums the judge, jury, and executioner (Anna) decided that he was not going to have Halloween but he was supposed to be Ghost Rider. This was the first year that Justin showed any real desire to NOT be with his mother. He had asked me earlier in the week if Mom would be upset if he asked her to go out with his friends. So I told him to let me talk to her and I did to which she was really hurt and for the first time realized that Justin is growing into a man. So Justin received his phone call and was dressed and asking to go out all within 10 minutes I drove him to his friends and he was gone at 5 in the evening. I swear that he thought if he dawdled Anna might change her mind. We did not get a picture he just kept on saying he had to go. We are used to taking pictures before we go out. I will take another picture today and post it. He came back at 6 trick or treating and we saw him again at 8 on the nose. Anna like I said took it very hard and could not believe that he did not want to go with Abby and her. She pouted and the whole thing took the wind out of her sails. She stayed in the car and ate candy while I took Abby to the houses. She was upset about how cute I thought that Abby was and looking back I was a bit sickening. But This was our first Halloween that she understood. Justin came back and I made him go hug his mother and by the end Anna was OK but I think that this took a toll on her
