It twas a dark and stormy night (literally) and my sweet daughter was acting a little strange, she was putting on a creepy dress and asking for her hair to be artfully
arranged. As the evening wore on I noticed a startling change, her face had drained of blood and she was growing a pair of fangs. Her eyes were vacant and looked rather glassy, and when I asked her if she was all right and her reply was quite sassy!
She said' "I am fine mother" and I replied, "I do not like your tone!" She them look at me rather wickedly and said, "You'd best leave me alone!"
Well I looked up to
reprimand her and had to stifle a scream, because my little girl was no more and before me stood a vampire queen!
Oh no! I yelled, "Please do not bite!" and she told me all would be well if I took her trick or treating tonight.
I agreed right away and off into the night did we go, to find witches, werewolves, and big giant gnomes.
There were a few scary moments but they quickly came and went,
And by the end of the night my little vampire was spent.
So it was straight to her coffin with a kiss to this little vampire's forehead, and a prayer to up above that she would wake up as Raine instead!
I awoke with the sun and
breathed a sigh of relief because the last nights events were simply beyond belief!
I went downstairs to find my little girl all back to normal and watching
TV, and our
Halloween night a creepy memory...
Well let me start by saying that it is very hard to surprise me. I am one of those people that just kind of picks up on things if not outright knows them beforehand. So when Laura showed up on Saturday with all the makings for a special birthday dinner including live lobster to say I was shocked is putting it mildly!!! 
I think that was the best part. I had one of my favorite dinners made for me in my own kitchen by a great friend and my food loving daughter, she even had Raine make me a from scratch birthday card (the best kind). 
There was mashed potatoes, lobster, baby yellow carrots, and a chocolate birthday cake with rainbow colored candles to wish upon. 
I am officially thirty and loving it!!! Also a dinner like this in my cute little farmhouse on the ridge makes me feel very grownup!
