I am thankful for the friends that we have in our lives. For the friends that are many miles away, the ones that are close by, and even the future ones that we haven't met yet.
Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends. -- Cindy Lew

Halloween Night!!
I took the girls trick or treating with my friend Katie and her kids.
Katie had a pumpkin pepperoni pizza for us to eat before we left to go trick or treating.
This house was decorated so cool. Maybe some year I will decorate my house like that. After about 15 houses the kids said they were done and wanted to go back home. We left and went back to Katie's for a fun night of games and conversation.
Tiffani, Conner and Caden arriving back from work.
Murder, Mystery Party!!
The girls wanted to have a Halloween party, I told them they could if they had their parties together. They both had ideas on who they wanted to invite and their lists were huge. I told them that I didn't think we could comfortably have more than about 15 people. They came up with a combined list, and then we came up with the idea of a Murder, Mystery Party.
I told the girls that I would write the script since I had seen some ideas online. If only I had thought through the idea. After I had done a lot of the work I realized that I could have just bought one online for $30. It turned out to be way more time consuming than I thought it would be, especially since I am not a writer. My friend Staci, helped me out.
In the end the kids had a good time. They dressed up for their parts, played the murder mystery game, watched a scary movie (Prom Night) and then played Rock Band on the PS3.
The Characters for the night:
Lady Victoria - Tiffani
Watson Sherlock - Conner
Jane Meadowbrook - Courtney
Dr. Drake - Caden
Lady Lavender - Melanie
The eccentric billionaire-(King Tut) -Cole
Miss Scarlet - Brooke
Dr. Green -Mike
Mrs. Marmson -Michelle
Sergeant Gray - Jared
Dr. Newton - Julia
Colonel Mustard - Spencer (Nickname was Colonel Mutard due to a mis-read line)
Ima Gudsweeper -Madison
Butler Hemsley - Chase
Ms. Peach -Macall
Tracy Fibers - Krista
The victim of the murder was Sergeant Gray, his murder was done by Ima Gudsweeper with the help of Butler Hemsley.
