Good Halloween Eve Morning MMC! I guess that introduction is a bit of a hint to one of our 3 counts that we are currently tracking. I'm filling in for Crown this morning but do not worry as the great Crown shall return on Halloween. Speaking of Halloween without further babbling from me let's look at the 3 counts we have.
Days to Halloween: 1 (hence it's Halloween Eve!)
Days to the Season: 14 (that would be unbelievably 2 weeks from TODAY!)
Days to Christmas Day: 56 (that would be even more unbelievably 8 weeks from TODAY!)

Wow let those 3 statistics sink in. I'm having a hard time really believing where we are but it's true (the numbers don't lie). Take in every moment of every day this time of year my friends. It is truly the most special time of year and it's really just beginning to kick off.

Have a great Sunday!

Morning Edge... nice stepping in like that. Speaking about kick-off, I am watching the UK game right now. Relax and enjoy this Sunday before my friend and I'll catch up with you in the Christmas Chatter room...

Merry Morning and a Spooky Sunday to all.
Happy Halloween Eve !
I am so glad I am not in work today. It makes it extra special! Looking forward to another day of family time together. Hope you are all enjoying seasonal fun.

Good Afternoon Festive. Glad you are not working today as well, but not half as glad as your children are I am sure. Nice Betty Boop clip. She was always one of my favorites early on. Have a nice day and a fantastic Halloween...

Good Sunday morning! I was able to sleep in until close to 7am, a real treat. I finished my tulle skirt yesterday for my tooth fairy costume, but the teeth I had ordered to make a headband and necklace/bracelet did not arrive in time. Spent the better part of the morning yesterday going from store to store to try and find teeth but no luck. I may just be a regular fairy then, we'll see. Another busy morning ahead as we have to go grocery shopping for the week, but then it will be a relaxing afternoon as all of our chores are pretty much done.

I forgot to mention that I saw the first houses decorated for Christmas the other night. Well I think one of them never took down their lights from last year and simply turned the switch on, but still it was very exciting to see.

Hope everyone will have a wonderful day!

Good morning Martine. I know you won't see this until after you get home, but I hope the day went well and you have a chance to at least catch your breath before Monday (even though you have to work then as well).
Have fun... and for those ornery customers...

Happy Halloween Eve, friends! My goodness time flies...

I've been on a "staycation" with my husband for our 2 year wedding anniversary and 5 year dating anniversary this week. It's been lovely! Apple picking, good restaurants, ran 12 miles yesterday AM-a first for me, and today church and then a painting class, another first for me!

I hope you all are doing well. After half marathon training is over in 13 days I'll be able to be a bit more present here-it's hard when you have to run so much to find time for everything unfortunately! But, we're tapering now and the race is almost here, so it will have been worth it.

Have a great one friends!!

Howdy DoYouHear. Good luck with your training and in the competition. Glad you and your husband had such a fun time the past few days and I hope this is another.
Have fun and Happy Halloween Eve...

Good morning ~
Merry Halloween Eve!
It's going to be mostly cloudy with showers moving in later today, highs near 70. Temperatures will cool off for Halloween tomorrow but it's supposed to be sunny, so that's good.
Not too much going on here this morning. I just fried a batch of meatballs and have a pot of sauce simmering. Just having my coffee now and relaxing. My husband and I are going to visit my parents this afternoon. We're going to stop at the pasta shop on the way home to pick up stuffed shells for dinner. We'll be watching a hockey game this evening as well. The Islanders are not off to a great start this year, hoping that changes!
I hope everyone is well and has a beautiful day <3

Morning HMG. Sounds like a nice day weather wise. It's good to have some of those "not much going on" days. I could use a few more.
Enjoy the day, the dinner and the game (I will be watching the game too, just the NFL).

I'm such a Halloween Grinch. I just see it as a speed bump in the way of Christmas. I hate dressing up, and will only wear athletic uniforms, if I "dress up". You can only be a baseball coach so many times until your friends call you out on your "costumes". That being said, I've enjoyed all the outfits my wife dresses my daughter up in, and we are giving out full size chocolate bars to the kids this year. Hopefully, we get a lot of trick-or-treaters.

Morning Mike. I am not into Halloween as much as I use to be. Mainly in memory of the fun I had as a kid and with all the negativity in the world today, might as well help the kids have some fun.
Wife and daughter will handle the candy duties this year. I did the decorating and picking up the "supplies", so I have done my duties.
Enjoy this day and Halloween...

Greetings on this Sunday afternoon all. Cooler day today, so after getting the church opened up and ready to go, I decided to just come home and relax a bit. I should be having a brief visit from my sister-in-law tomorrow. She is stopping by on her way to Florida (from Montana).
Not much else going on today. I may see about getting more of Connie's tree done. Other than that, I'll clean up the office and watch the NFL for the rest of the afternoon/evening.
Have a fantastic Halloween Eve all.

It's all downhill from here, so much to look forward to. Hope it doesn't go by too fast!

Hope you have lots of fun tomorrow. I'm sure your trick or treaters will be super excited about the full size candy bars!

First tree is up with lights. 2 more to go. We don't decorate until the 1st, however we use these days to move the lights around to get them just right.

['Tis the season]

Just gone midnight over here, so HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

 

[CGYager]

Goodnight to all the MMC members. Been basically quiet and relaxed. Got the first tree up and I'll finish the minor Halloween decorations in the morning. Now time for Dallas vs Philadelphia, a little dinner and an early end to the day.
