The weekend was marvelous. I love St. Louis in the fall….and the Spring for that matter.
Steve had a good birthday. I really like that he’s 26 now because for the last 4 months since I turned 28 he’s been 3 years younger than me, so now that he’s had a birthday he’s back to being categorized as only 2 years younger and therefore I don’t feel like such a cradle robber. Sorry for the run-on sentence.
On to other topics…..Halloween! I’ve never been one of those Christians that pretends that Halloween doesn’t exist simply because it’s a “celebration of Satan” or whatever some people seem call it. That being said I’ve never been one to dress up like a vampire and dance around a bonfire on Halloween either.
One thing I have thoroughly enjoyed about Halloween though since we’ve lived in Dupo is living on a street where we get lots of trick-or treaters! Growing up I lived on the end of a dead-end street so we never really had any cute kids coming around looking for candy on October 31. When I lived in Texas I was always out of town on Halloween and when I lived in St. Louis city I was just too plain scared to answer the door on Halloween let alone any other day. So….now that I’ve lived in the “village” of Dupo for the last 2 years I’ve come to LOVE Halloween. We have a few friends that love handing out candy as much as we do but don’t have the privilege of living on one of the more popular trick-or-treating streets for Halloween so we normally like to throw a little party and make an event out of our annual “let’s give lots of kids cavities” fest.
This year though we decided to make the dog festive as well – we’re not one to spend money on buying our dogs lots of useless toys and shirts but we happened to be browsing our local
target’s dollar bin (by the way I LOVE the target dollar bin) and happened to stumble upon a doggie Dracula cape! It was only a buck so we figured we couldn’t pass it up. I must say out little pooch looks adorable too!
Pictures will come but you’ll have to wait until the event has passed.
