Fall is almost upon us and it’s about that time to start getting halloween costumes for the kids. Andi already has a couple things together for the boys, they want to be the Blues Brothers. She’s still looking for something for Benton and Tayler doesn’t know if she wants to dress up or not.. she’s 14 now.

I miss my old job setting up utilities for the Halloween stores. Halloween has been one of my favorite holidays…. next to Christmas (my all time favorite holiday). I miss all of the people I worked with and the way the office would get decorated with things the company sells.

This summer has been so hot, dry (rain-wise) and humid. It’s been horrible. I can’t wait for the cool, crisp fall weather (we’ve had a little taste of that the past few days). Today the heat and humidity came back and the A/C came back on. I haven’t seen such weather extremes in a long time. This past winter was cold and snowy.

I hope mother nature gets her act together and gets the weather back into normal mode again.

Happy Halloween everyone! We had a basically all day Halloween party at work today. The day started off with judges going from office to office picking out the best costume for several different categories. Almost everyone participated, there were a few party poopers who didn’t dress up. The winner of the best costume was a guy who dressed up as one of the Ghostbusters and he even did up his SUV to look the the Ectomobile. The guy even got interviewed by Channel 40 news about his car. Oh.. it played the Ghostbusters theme song too.

Later in the day the employees were allowed to bring in their kids and grandkids for office to office trick or treating. The little ones looked so cute all dressed up in their costumes.

Here is a picture of the Ectomobile and a picture of me as Elvira! (don’t laugh!) I couldn’t take any more pictures than that because, while my camera was on and the lens was zoomed out, I dropped the camera and bent the lens thingy. When I got home hubby looked at the camera and managed to pop the lens thingy back into place! YAY!

I’ll probably be going back to work on June 9th! If you don’t remember I work for a Halloween store setting up the utilities for the new stores. Yeah.. I know it’s early and it’s no where’s near Halloween yet, but it takes time to get the store set up, get their stock in, hire employees and stuff. It takes a lot of time to do all of that.

These store sell all kinds of stuff from costumes, decorations to Halloween invitations.

It’s a fun place to work for and I can’t wait to get back there. Hopefully, I’ll be permanent. That’s what I was told when I left in January. I’ll know for sure the end of this week.
