This week is going to be a crazy week. With my oldest baby basset’s family birthday party on Wednesday and Halloween on Saturday, I am feeling a bit of pressure. I shouldn’t feel that way because both parties will be super small. We are still not exposing ourselves to a lot of people, and are staying pretty isolated to our core group. The pressure is that I want these two events to be amazing even with everything that is going on around us. For the last month I have been announcing that “Halloween is not canceled! It’s just different and it will be amazing!” So now I gotta make it amazing. The decorations are almost done, and they are pretty festive, so no problems there. I have a Halloween Hunt (just like an Easter Egg Hunt) planned and ready to go. Each family that is attending will be bringing a treat for each kid’s spooky bucket (just like a Valentines Day box), so the kids will have PLENTY of treats. We also have Nerf Gun wars planned in the nearby park, and lots of junk food. I’m sure it is enough, but I will stress about it until the last guest leaves on Halloween night. Sunday will definitely be a day of rest and Hallmark Original Movies.
