Halloween!!!

Hey everyone,
 Well, it's been a hell of a week and today was a hell of a Halloween!!! Work was pretty slow today (being Friday and all). So, I asked Amanda and my mom to bring the kids to my job in their costumes. Jessa was dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and A.J. was Scooby Doo. A few of my co-workers got to meet everyone and they all said I have such an adorable family.

 Today was also kind of a sad day, work wise. Someone who I just got to work with a few months ago retired after a whopping 38 years at the library!!! Yesterday, we held his retirement party and it was a blast! So before I left work today, I said my farewell to him. He is definitely going to be missed!!!

 Okay, before I go more into Halloween, I do have to tell you all that on Tuesday night, I was in a car accident. I was heading home when I heard this weird sound coming from the back of the car (the 1977 Grand Prix) so I pulled to the side of the road, checked and it looked ok. When I restarted the car, it started to shake so I went to the next exit and tried to call my folks from a local Wal-Mart...forgetting the number doesn't accept collect calls!!! So, I headed back and the noise finally stopped after hitting a teeny bump. Well, I was a block away from getting back on the highway...when I got to a green light and some 18-year old kid in a monster-sized pick up truck sped out of the other side and BAM!!!!

 Well, let's just say the entire front is totaled. Some witnesses who were there told the cops that I RAN THE RED LIGHT! I don't know..if you see my car and compare it to his...I think the damage speaks for itself. But I got a citation for "careless driving". Go figure!!!!

 Okay...back to Halloween!!! We got home and had dinner. Then we got Jessa and A.J. back in their costumes and we just went around the neighborhood for some trick-or-treating. There weren't that many houses that gave candy this year, but for 1st timers, Jessa and A.J. got a decent amount. Hell, we went to this lady across the street and she not only gave us candy, but actually had baked a cake and she was talking about how nice my parents are and how the kids looked adorable. After an hour, we got home, let the kids have 1 piece of candy and just a little sliver of cake. A.J. went to sleep around 8:30 and Jessa was asleep by 10:30. \\

Here are some pics from the week:

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!!!!!! And those who are wondering, I was NOT injured in the car accident, but I'm going to feel a LOT of soreness tomorrow!!! :D
