Halloween

Halloween was extraordinarily busy this year. The Florida/Georgia game (aka the World's Largest Cocktail Party) was on Halloween and as a rabid Gator fan, we must watch. We also must sell parking in my grandfather's law firm parking lot (about .75 mile from the stadium). We make about $500 in 2 hours. We just can't pass it up.

But, first, PICTURES! Because, well, I'm addicted. So we got all ready and headed to my friend J's house for her halloween luncheon/Halloween pictures with Sara.

After a few minor costume mishaps (Daniel's had to be glued back together, and Jack's made him cry), we had pictures taken.



Then, J's luncheon, which was a ton of fun. Lots of kids in lots of cute costumes and lots of yummy food of which Jack ate lots.

And then to downtown Jacksonville to sell parking. It seemed slow, which apparently was because we raised our prices overly high (I thought we charged more last year than we did). We eventually sold out though (and THEN figured out our prices were too high), and headed to my stepmom's house to watch the game - we needed some down time!

The gators won, as we will, and we got BACK in the car to come home, and go to our cute little neighborhood's cute little Halloween party. With cute food. And drinks. With alcohol. Followed by trick or treating. Which Jack totally didn't understand, but he did LOVE following his friends around.

Before I get to the photos...I have to mention the costumes.

Daniel really REALLY wanted to team up with Jack and go as "Jack Daniels". I tend to prefer cute/pretty costumes (I do know I have a son, thanks) and so after much discussion we compromised on:




Daniel was "Jack in a bottle" and Jack was "Daniel's Jack in a box".

And, then, the night was over, and the costumes hung up for next time.
