Halloween at Cabela's

Each Halloween Cabela's throws a pretty big party for the kid's of their employees. Amelia hardly slept this entire week out of sheer excitement over Halloween. She spent Thursday night in a lot of discomfort due to pain or itching down south. I was completely flummoxed over possible answers because she did not have any other symptoms. We snuggled until 3 am when she finally fell into a deep sleep. The next day nothing was wrong. I took the kids out to breakfast to say goodbye to a friend moving to Kemmerer, WY. Amelia was too excited to take a nap so after lunch we dolled her up for the Cabela's party.

I must say, that spray-on hair color is nasty stuff. I used it to dye her hair red, the rest of the bathroom also got a good coating of red dye. After the party I had to wipe down the entire bathroom, walls, floor, ceiling, everything. Yuck! Then the spray flaked off and coated her costume with red dust. Never using that vile stuff again. Phillip went as a very cute monkey. He is a monkey lately! That kid climbs up on everything. Yesterday I found him on the table pouring sugar and water over the table, chairs, floor, and himself. He is a regular curious George.

Justin met us in the parking lot at his "work house." The HR division did an excellent job planning and hosting the event. Amelia talked and talked to anyone with an ear about her costume. She waggled her eyelashes and did funny little poses for the folks. Each division was in charge of decorating a room to pass out candy and treats in. Our favorite was the CandyLand room. Justin took us upstairs to show off the kids to his coworkers. Then back downstairs for cookies, juice, and a fun photo. Amelia was super excited to have a strawberry purse full of candy and toys. Phillip was not so sure about all the commotion. He sucked on a lollipop ending up a super sticky, kissable mess.
