Friday: Halloween/Homecoming Game Night!
I kept it low-key and drove to Fort Worth to spend this holiday among the people I love most.
Not only was it Halloween, BUT it was Addison's "BIG HOMECOMING FOOTBALL NIGHT"!!! I helped over the last week getting his date's mum all decorated and sparkly and witnessed the nervousness build as he looked forward to Spirit Day and the Homecoming Dance! SO CUTE!!!! I feel lucky to be at an age where I am able to appreciate how darling this all is! Anyhow, our plan was to drop Addison off at the Nolan Highschool foot-ball game. Then my parents and I would go home and watch a spooky movie and enjoy caramel apples all in the Halloween state of mind! 
But soon as Addison heard what we planned on he decided he would rather miss out on the football game and stay home nice and safe with us! My parents had a few trick-or-treaters come to the door in the midst of our spooky Halloween movie, thank Jebus for DVR's! All in all, I have to admit I haven't had such a fun Halloween yet!!!! Sure, I wasn't out with kids my own age or in the middle of the drunken debauchery that takes place at the Halloween parties- but as the years go by I am learning that scene is not my cup of tea. I suppose it is all a matter of opinion.

As promised he and I went out to grab some food and that is when I thought it would be nice to drop by Michael's and pick up all that my crocheting heart desired! Luckily- I have a very sweet brother who was excited to lend me a hand while I went through all the supplies!! I left with a basket full of lovely yarn, beautiful crocheting needles and a couple of books to help get me started. 
Not only did I have Addison's help but I met a sweet little old woman. She worked there and was happy to help me gather the necessities. She put a smile on my face as she helped me and spoke of her love for crocheting. She told me she also knitted but prefered crocheting. I have to agree with her!!! She made me promise to return soon to show her my pieces. After that, Addison and I were off to Best Buy because I have decided to purchase an Imac soon! Yay! We were not able to spend as much time as we wanted there. Addison had to get home and get all done up for the Homecoming Dance. He looked so handsome as we all headed to drop him off at his friends house where he met his date and had dinner before going to the dance! 
He had a wonderful time and said it was the best time he has ever had in his life!Again, HOW CUTE is that?! Later that night I started crocheting and picked it up quick! My Grandmother Kramer and both of my Great Grandmother's crocheted! I remember learning as a kid. I suppose our family just has a knack for it. My mom would even like for me to teach her how :)
In other news-I was asked about a week ago to take Holly, Tony and baby Kendall's first family photographs on Sunday in downtown Waxahachie. So- early Sunday morning we met up and I took thousands of photos in the Towns Square. 
The photographs turned out wonderfully and tonight I will start the editing process so I can get it all back to them soon! I only wish I had purchased the Imac so that I could use that photo software to edit with- but I am still saving up for it so I will just have to wait till December! Darn :(
