My Halloween Night

I hope everyone had a great Halloween! I know I did!

First we went to a trunk or treat with the kids, Lil was Little Red Riding Hood and Tyler was a Ninja Turtle. We got home at a decent time, the kids had a few pieces of candy, and when I say few I mean a few! Hardly more than a handful if that! But they were up shooting around the house for hours after that! When I went out with my friends later that night they were still up and we left at about 11! A little candy goes a long way I guess.

The night out with my friends was really fun. I dressed up as Leeloo from the 5th Element. If you haven't seen that movie you must go watch it NOW! Its amazing! ...I was afraid nobody would recognize me because one of my friends had no idea who I was because she hadn't seen the movie...boy was I wrong. Every time I turned around someone was yelling "Fifth Element!" or "Leeloo!" I got  a lot of "Awesome outfit!" and "I freaking love this!" responses, one girl even wanted to take a picture with me! I was just glad people recognized me and didn't just think I was dressed up in strange orange suspenders for no reason.

I wasn't hung over the next day because I stayed within my 3 drink limit, so it keeps me from getting sloshed, I am SOOOOO glad I made that rule for myself!!! I finally feel like a responsible drinking adult now that I watch my alcohol intake. Which is a big step up from how I was a little over a year ago! Even though I drank responsibly that didn't stop me from needing to recover the next day.

I had trouble functioning the first few hours because I was sooooo freaking exhausted! Clearly my body is not capable of handling late nights like that on top of other nights of frequent insomnia so even though I couldn't stay in bed all day the next day because of the kids that didn't stop me from moping around the house half of the day wishing I could still be sleeping. And of course how it always goes, the nights you don't get any sleep the day that follows you are extremely busy and running around like a chicken with your head cut off... it never fails! Thankfully the nights that followed I was able to at least get to sleep before 1, so yay for me!

I hope everyone had an amazing Halloween! Don't be afraid to post any funny stories or pictures below! Id love to see what other people dressed up as or dressed their kids up as.

Oh and a quick funny thing that happened. You would never believe it but at the trunk or treat we were behind a family where one of the kids had dressed up as Little Red Riding Hood and the other as a Ninja Turtle...how crazy is that!?!
