So apparently I am going to be a witch on Halloween... kinda funny considering I have never really been one to do anything on this particular day, much less let my kids wear masks and terrorize the neighborhood. It's either this southern air or old age, I can't decide which. Last year I startled my three young-uns by actually carving a pumpkin. Re-reading that entry from almost a year ago made me laugh to myself. It's funny how things can change. It looks like this year everyone is getting involved with the exception of the husband.
Just tonight the oldest purchased himself some kind of freaky mask (and no, I didn't even ask to see it... the boy is old enough to drive, old enough to work, old enough to buy his own Halloween goodies... he doesn't need his mom shaking her head in disgust which is something I would most likely do). Anyway, he did his thing at a local trunk-or-treat event. On Monday night the middle will be doing his thing as well, although I think he's playing it safe and holy as a disciple of Jesus. The youngest and I will be joining some friends to participate in another trunk-or-treat event and then... (are you ready for this, Mom?)... we are taking her trick-or-treating.
That girl is certain I have lost my mind.
But she's willing to risk my sanity for the sake of a plastic pumpkin full of candy.
Ahhh... the devotion and love of a thirteen-year old.
So a witch I will be. I can't decide if I want to bedazzle my hat with gemstones or cover it with flowers and feathers. I mean, come on... this is a pretty big deal around the old homestead. Such a thing might not happen again. If I'm gonna dress up like a witch, I want to be a memorable one. No green faces or funky warts for me. We want to make this one count.

It's amazing, the changes a year or two can make in a person. Happy witching.
If you're doing it. Go FOR it. I like the feather idea, myself. It's all in good fun. Make it memorable. You'll be bewitching, I'm sure. ENJOY!
