The last few days have been really busy. We are hosting a Halloween party this weekend and have been running around like crazy people trying to get things done - food ordered, house cleaned & decorated, sugar cookies baked, etc. etc... All the time, energy, and money is spent to have one evening to just have fun with our friends. Mark and I only get less than 6 hours sleep every night up until the event and then we will be awake for over 24 hours the day/night of the party. At least that's what happened last year at the Halloween party. I just hope and pray that my mother is willing to keep Ricky til Sunday afternoon so I can at least get a few hours sleep!!
Hosting an adult Halloween party is a pretty interesting endeavor given the whole costume factor. I guess I am a big dork who enjoys having to select and put together a costume for a party. Several of our guests actually tried to get away with *not* wearing a costume and tried to see if it would be okay with us and we had to be all punk-rock about it and say, "no admittance without a costume. sorry." The purpose being that if you are in a costume and everyone else is also, then all is well. If people show up in their ordinary clothes, then you feel like a big asshole wearing a costume...whatever it may be. Mark says that we are going through a lot of trouble and spending a lot of money to have a party and the very least our friends could do is dress up for goshsakes!! I must agree... we'll have to see..
