Social Butterflies

October 31, 2006 By Carole

ETA: I put a picture of my Halloween costume at the bottom of this post just to make you all happy

This past weekend was a very sociable one for my family.

Dale’s cousin’s daughter got married on Saturday evening and the family gang was there in full force. It was a beautiful ceremony in a very old church. And the reception at The Atlantica was fabulous. We had a wonderful time eating, talking and dancing. And I might have consumed a martini or three.

Sunday was my (step)grandson’s Patrick’s birthday party hosted at Dale’s brother’s home. There were kids and grown ups and lots of fun for everyone. The kids played old-fashioned games and had a candy hunt in the backyard.

And now today is Halloween and that means more fun for the family. It means American Chop Suey for dinner, a family tradition since I was a little girl. And it means we get to see those adorable grandchildren again. Sadly for Hannah this year it does not mean trick or treating. She’s decided, somewhat reluctantly, that she’s just a little too old now, so instead she’ll be at home, handing out the candy. Of course this means that Dale and I can relax and watch scary movies on television instead of jumping up and answering the door every 5 minutes.

Happy Halloween, everyone! Watch out for those little goblins. And because you’re asking, here’s my Halloween costume for today:

I’m feeling a little horny.

    Hi Carole! Happy Halloween! Lovely pic of you and the hubby there, (grin). Have you seen “An American Haunting” yet? Can’t decide if I liked it or not. Good movie for the day though.

    Happy Halloween Carole!

    What a wonderful weekend! I agree with Becky, the pic of you and Dale is great.
    Tell Hannah that handing out candy can be nearly as much fun as trick-or-treating. I love to watch the kids in their costumes, stuffing their bags full of candy. Happy halloween!

    So, was it chicken? or steak? That’s a good looking family of guys.

    That’s sad for Hannah!! I think my last year of Trick o’Treating was 8th grade too. Happy Halloween!!!!!!

    I love that donut game. I’m wondering if we should do that at work? That way, they’d burn off the calories at the same time. lol

    Cute socks. And fun weekend. You are glowing in the picture with Dale. So, while in Cohasset, did you stop at the Creative Stitch? 🙂

    Have a great Halloween night!

    We just don’t get kids any more. There are tons of parties in our neighborhood and they party hop all night. The bride is beautiful and the kids are all darling. Enjoy your Halloween. Did you wear a costume to work?

  10. amanda says

    October 31, 2006 at 8:03 am

    That is a great pic of you and Dale! BTW, are you dressing up for work? Looks like we’ll be laying low today since all three kids are snotty and cranky — damn germs!

  11. Deb says

    October 31, 2006 at 8:44 am

    Sounds and looks like a wonderful weekend. That Dale has a great smile – lucky you!! Better keep your horns hidden….

  12. Linda says

    October 31, 2006 at 8:53 am

    Those horns look remarkably natural on you….just saying…..

    It looks like we will be trick or treating in the rain tonight. And remember, we have some major hills out here. Guess all that exercise means I get first pick of the candy!

  13. Kathy says

    October 31, 2006 at 8:58 am

    Oh, crack me up horn dog!

  14. Vicki says

    October 31, 2006 at 9:07 am

    Oh, aren’t you cute! Happy Halloween!!

  15. Chris says

    October 31, 2006 at 9:20 am

    Congrats to Dale’s daughter and new son-in-law!! Looks like a lovely wedding.

    Heh, the horns do look quite natural…

  16. margene says

    October 31, 2006 at 9:28 am

    You are always YOU! Perfect;-)

    you horny devil you …
    i seem to be two weeks behind on everything so of course i didn’t bother to dig out any halloween decorations or carve pumpkins or find a costume. i’ll be lucky if i’m home in time for the neighborhood goblins and ghouls.

  18. scoutj says

    I love that top picture of you. You just look SO happy!

    Martinis? I don’t believe it……..

  20. elizabeth says

    October 31, 2006 at 10:54 am

    Ohh, you’re never too old to trick or treat. At least, that’s what I tell myself.

    very naughty

  22. Lucia says

    What a great weekend! Great pix too. (You devil.)

  23. Mindy says

    October 31, 2006 at 11:15 am

    Glad you had a great time this weekend. Hannah needs to learn the fine art of taking younger kids out with her, then you are never to old (of course this is from the girl that went trick-or-treating well into high school)

    Love the horns!

  24. Karen says

    October 31, 2006 at 11:28 am

    Happy Halloween!

    Great costume…………..Ha!!!

  26. Laura says

    October 31, 2006 at 11:51 am

    HA! I love this Carole! The children are all so adorable – your COSTUME is *teehee* CUTE! And the picture of you with Dale – just beautiful. 🙂

  27. Martha says

    October 31, 2006 at 12:07 pm

    Cute costume, Carole! Your library is so much cooler than ours.

  28. Jess says

    October 31, 2006 at 12:26 pm

    Nice costume ;o)

    Dobby’s wearing her birthday tiara a few days early…she stopped trick-or-treating a few years ago, but now she brings her little half-sisters around at her bio-father’s. We don’t get visitors here, which is very disappointing :o(

  29. Stephanie says

    October 31, 2006 at 12:44 pm

    Happy Halloween. Cute picture – love the horns.

  30. Karen says

    October 31, 2006 at 2:31 pm

    I wish I had someone at home to answer the door every 5 minutes for me tonight. Hubby somehow manages to work late every Halloween.
    I bet Dale likes your costume!

  31. Susan says

    October 31, 2006 at 2:34 pm

    Poor Hannah. I think I stopped doing the trick or treat thing in 8th grade too. I missed it but I really liked seeing all the little kid’s costumes and trying to scare some of them.

    Nice horns, impy!

  32. Kirsten says

    October 31, 2006 at 4:05 pm

    Happy Halloween! I love your costume! I hope you enjoy your movie.
    We too are nearing the end of our trick or treating days. I’ll be sad when it ends. It’s such a fun holiday, and our house is a little too remote for anyone to come to our door. 🙁 This year at least we still have costumes.

  33. Jan says

    October 31, 2006 at 4:22 pm

    You sure have had a full calendar the last few weeks, but are looking no worse for the wear!

    If the horns fit…. 😉

  34. Debi says

    October 31, 2006 at 4:49 pm

    You lil Devil! happy halloween!

  35. anne says

    October 31, 2006 at 5:51 pm

    you are a cutey too!

  36. Carol says

    October 31, 2006 at 6:29 pm

    LOL-We do the same thing! Meg’s too old too, so watch scary movies & give out candy in our jammies! Nothing like a nice wedding and birthday to really life the spirits. Martinis help too…

  37. Birdsong says

    October 31, 2006 at 6:46 pm

    What a terrific, happy photo of you and Dale. The other ones were great too… Happy Halloween. I am the one that dresses up every year and hands out candy, while DH puts on scary music, etc… helps to have a Gothic house, already haunted-looking and next to a cemetery as well:)

  38. Laurie says

    October 31, 2006 at 7:26 pm

    I like the imp look more than the devil. It matches you perfectly either way, however. Happy Halloween!

  39. Teyani says

    October 31, 2006 at 8:51 pm

    I love that photo of you and Dale on the top left of your post. It’s great! You look soooo happy and full of joy. hurray!
    and your costume – heh heh, watch out Dale!

    Looks like a good time! I had my day-after-wedding brunch at the Atlantica. I really don’t remember the food but do remember the bloody mary’s were delicious!

    Great horns!

  41. ~Kristie says

    November 3, 2006 at 3:57 am

    The photo of you both is absolutely perfect! Make sure & get that one framed!

    ooohhhh…you’re so wicked! I’m definitely going to get a pair of horns for next year!

    Quite a preponderance of beards there. Something in Dale’s line? 🙂 Sounds like a fun weekend.
