The holiday season always has a way of getting me all cozy, brimming with every holiday excursion and bursting with all the holiday traditions. This year was really no exception. Of course all the excitement started with Halloween...
This year we all dressed up as superheroes. Michael was Batman, so JR had to be Robin and I got to be bat girl?? (all that really means is that I wore a Batman shirt and I'm a girl) The only night we all dressed up together was for our family Halloween party. And even then JR lasted all of about 4 minutes. His costume came from the women's section at Walmart and might have accidentally been a medium. Again, a WOMAN's medium. I mean, I offered to be Robin but he was having none of it. JR was set on being the Robin to Michael's Batman. Michael, however, wore his costume all month long. And if we're being honest he still sings a little song to himself whenever he sees the costume, (think: na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...BATMAN!) and sometimes we're still lucky enough to have a mini caped hero saving the day like it's his job.
On the real day of Halloween I ran the Haunted Half and almost died. Two days later I tested positive for strep and it all made sense. I mean, geesh! I have only run like a gazillion half marathons. I couldn't figure out why my body was giving up, or why I cried (hysterical choked sobs) when I finally crossed the finish line. I now have a serious mental block when I think about running. I think I really don't ever want to do it again in my whole life. Needless to say I didn't do much celebrating on real Halloween.
What a fun and spooky time of year!
