mapsedgeHallowe'en is done for another year.
An evening spent walking around in the cold with a half-dozen family and friends watching my children load up on a bunch of stuff I wouldn't let them consume in that quantity any other friggin' day of the year.
Then back inside to the warmth and the noise and frozen pizza and microwaved brats and The Piñata That Wouldn't Die.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aerie13 and I stayed mostly to the edges, out of the way, letting mljm and the other Professional Mommies run the show. It's the only way I make it through events like that and stay sane.
Now that's done, and we can get to the REAL business of Autumn: getting the house and vast grounds of our Osage estate ready for the Holidays.
Wow, I actually said that with a straight face. Feeling a little cynical this morning.
Still, there's coffee and breakfast is done and the office is quiet. I have no idea where my partners are - wait, they're both Catholic. November 1 would have morning mass, wouldn't it? Glad to be Protestant, ohhhhhhhh yes.
And happy New Year to my friends (and some adopted family) who celebrate this season in the Old Way.
