The night before Halloween we hosted a benefit "Wigging Out" event to raise money for my sister, Regina, to help pay for her medical bills in her fight against breast cancer. We had a wonderful turn-out and a great time. We live in an awesome community with great family and friends. The event raised enough money to basically pay the rest of Regina's bills for this year! Everyone was invited to wear a wig or full costume as part of the fun. I got many compliments on my pink bob wig-I'm seriously considering a cut!! Jeff had a gash on his forehead from a farming incident and had we been quicker thinkers, we would have dressed as "Jack and Jill"! I'm happy to say Gina is doing well. She has one more chemo treatment in a couple weeks (YEAH!) and will begin her 6 weeks of radiation around the beginning of the year.
We keep lucking out on Halloween weather-it was another wonderful evening for trick-or-treating. Journey wanted to be a ghost this year and was really into it!! She did inform many that she was Casper the "friendly ghost" so they wouldn't be too scared. I had a few ideas for Wright, but when I saw this skeleton costume-I was sold! Wright wasn't so sure about Halloween for about 1 house, then he got into it! He was running to keep up with Journey from house to house-hauling his basket of candy behind him. When people would open their doors he would hold out his basket and say "num, num" which is his way of saying "treats" (did I mention he has a sweet tooth?) He also admired decorations and lights with great enthusiastic "oohs!" Wright liked to help everyone close their doors before we left each house. Before we left one of the last houses, I asked Wright to tell the woman thank-you for his candy. He quickly reached up and blew her a kiss (his thank-you). She said that was the best thank-you she had gotten all night!
