The kids and I had a lot of fun this Halloween. We went to the Harvest Fest that our church hosts every year. We only stayed about 20 minutes before it got too crazy. After losing site of Paisley one too many times we headed over to base housing for some trick or treating. (I found out yesterday at church that this was a banner year for Harvest Fest, over 800 people came)
We hit about 10 houses on base and then called it a night. Silly me forgot the stroller and Paisley was getting tired of walking. The other two were losing all of their good manners and no longer listening and walking next to me. Not a good combination when people are running around like crazy and it's dark outside. Even though they didn't get to go to too many houses both Lorelei and Houston agreed that they had fun.
I decided that this year I was going to dress up. Why should the kids have all the fun? I think I had the most fun with my hair. The down side was that it didn't quite turn out the way I was hoping so I had to get creative.
I bought some rinse in hair dye (the kind that only lasts until you wash your hair next) and it really didn't do much to the over all color of my hair except for turning my highlights green. Eww!! So I went with my back up plan. Black hair spray paint. Then came the red hair gel. Originally I just wanted to put in on the ends of my hair...best laid plans. It ended up being so thick that it was easier just to streak it through my hair all over. By the time it was all said and done and all the hair paint was dry, my hair was so stiff it couldn't move at all. Even though it didn't quite look how I wanted I was overall pleased with the results.
It is Nov 2 and it is 75 degrees. My roses are STILL blooming. The south has really crazy weather.
I'm going to have to try and get a picture first thing in the morning or at dusk. For some reason when the light is low, the red shows up better. I took both of the tree pictures today. The one without the leaves was much prettier a few days ago. Lovely tornado weather ruined that.
