HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
So, today has been a very...interesting day.
Not bad, just...very strange....different than what I'm used to.
An average Halloween (they never really are 'average') is me, going to the mall, dressed up like a book character. When I was younger, I would have gone trick-or-treating.
Me and my sister usually do something. Dress up. Last year, her, Caleb, and I went to the costume contest at the mall.
This year was different.
So this morning, I got up and rushed to the window. Hurricane Sandy has been giving us some bad weather up here in the mountains. Not so much where I live, but in the areas around me, people have been snowed in pretty bad.
So, when I looked out the window, I wasn't sure what to expect. Sandy's super storm?
Nope, just barely any snow.
So, I skipped (and by skipped I mean staggered) downstairs to make breakfast.
Breakfast was cereal.
I'm not usually that...un-creative, but we had cereal, so why bother making extra food?
After that, we decided. And the result was...WE CAN MAKE IT TO TOWN.
Except Mim didn't want to go. That usually means that I need stay home. But today, she decided to stay home.
So, I got dressed, and hurried out the door with mom. Dad had gone ahead of us.
When we got there, Mom and I were hungry, so we went to Tucker's for lunch. While there, I called Nathaniel, since he was supposed to meet us at the mall.
He was in the parking lot.
So, he came in and sat with us while we finished eating. He was already in his costume (that I will reveal later).
We went to the bookstore afterwards and sat there and talked.
And talked.
And talked.
Then, I realized that I needed boots to complete my outfit.
So, I took my mom (who had the money) and Nathaniel shoe hunting...which didn't take too long.
I ended up with a really nice pair of boots that will be good for at least the rest of the fall. Maybe all winter.
So, after that, we went back to the bookstore.
And then, I thought it was already 5, so I went to change into my costume. Turns out, I was an hour early.
Then Caleb and Miss Karen got there.
While I was Katniss, Miss Karen was Effie Trinket.
Caleb was the headless horseman...
Caleb is in the front...yeah, his costume was...disturbing...
You can't see my costume very well in this picture, but there are others, soon to come.
After that, I got hungry. So did my mom. So did Nathaniel.
So we went to Panera for dinner.
Mom had to go back to the store (she was still on the clock).
While Nathaniel and I ate our dinner, the Doctor showed up.
SEE? He was there! Except he is usually a pirate...but he was the Doctor today!!
After that, we went back to the store. When Tanion got there, we went trick-or-treating around the different shops at the mall. Not everyone had candy, and once Caleb and Tanion got candy, there was only so much that Caleb could eat, since he was allergic to peanuts.... he ended up with 12 pieces of candy....
Anyway, so after that, I went with Nathaniel out to his car because he had a computer for me.
Earlier in the day, Dad had given Nathaniel a box and told him not to open it until later. I was pretty sure I knew what was in the box, so I begged Daddy to let Nathaniel open it whenever we went outside.
So he did.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand:
He got the Carrot Top Alarm Clock that has been sitting at the bookstore for...oh...about 6 years. Nobody would ever buy it, so they eventually just stuck it back in the box and it has been just floating around ever since.
Not anymore!
Well, I've posted all this and you still haven't seen my full costume...and I haven't said what Nathaniel was (cheers to those of you who have already figured it out btw).
There really are no very good pictures of me in my costume...this will have to do. Here is me and Nathaniel, holding the books that we are from. You already know that I was Katniss (or you know if you have been following my posts), and Nathaniel is....wait for it....ARTHUR DENT!
Okay, well, after all that, we came home (Mom and me anyway, Dad was still at work) and Miriam was home. She had gone trick-or-treating with our cousins who live right down the road, Kesha and Paige. Buuuut they had had to go to church so Mim had to come home.
Anyway, that was my epic and strange Halloween this year.
Cheers!
