I need to spice Halloween 2008 up

I need to make my blog more exciting I know. I really want to pay Maddy to write my blog for me, her blog is so enjoyable to read. I always go away laughing. She always has tons of comments to. I just keep telling myself this is a great journaling for myself (and that shows).
To start with John was home for Halloween that has been the first ever! I have always taken the kids and entertained them. We had yummy chicken pot pie and fruit. Alex was going to have a halloween party at our house but plans changed and they decided they wanted to go trick or treating. I didn't plan on Alex trick or treating so no costume was ready. I gave her a list of stuff she could do that was just around the house...like a chef, tourist, football player, and Molly Mormon in her pregnant & barefoot stage of life. Molly Mormon won. Alex ate dinner with her big belly and she was whining that she couldn't fit at the table. Alex also was complaining that she was to hot and sweaty. I told her "IT"S A PILLOW!" We are all in trouble when the real thing happens. When John got home I don't think he was ready to hear he was going to be a grandpa.

Other kids costumes were ready and easy. Ashley, Jonathan, Aubrey, and Abby were able to wear their costumes to school. The Elementary school had a big costume parade, and each class had a party so they were ready to go.
I was sooooooo excited to stay home and pass out candy. I bought big candy bars to give from costco. I sat. I waited. Waited some more. I had maybe 10 groups of people come. I couldn't sit anymore, so my mom was here and she helped me make some pomegranted jelly! with 5 kids and all the extra candy I bought that no one came by to get we have tons and tons of candy! I think I will use the hard candy for food storage.
