Friday October 31st~~~ I (Sharon) have been so busy since I returned home on Oct. 27th as a surprise to all my kids. No one knew I was coming home and it was great fun to show up at their places of work or school and have them paged to the office and there I was. Kim and her family found out I was home when I knocked on the door to my house tonight dressed as a bum and trick or treated them. My kids planned an over night sleep over at my house for Halloween night thinking they could get me to come home for it, well it worked but I still surprised them by saying I wasn't coming. They all knew I was home of course except Kim and her kids and we really had fun tricking her when I came to the door dressed as a street person bum. I actually left and came back a second time acting really weird, then she and Mathew really got worried. They told me to go away leave them alone as they don't give out seconds. I pulled off my mask and told her she wasn't very nice to people wanting candy, she really was surprised. What fun we had watching movies, handing out more candy and just catching up on our visiting. The kids stayed up most of the night, but I had to call it a night about midnight. Being together with all of my kids and most of the grandchildren was really a neat thing to do for Halloween and we will remember it for years to come. The picture of our house doesn't show all the spider webs and spiders in them very well in the day light, it was real spooky at night. We had a pre Halloween party the night before when everyone came over and decorated and ate carmel rolls with coffee that I baked that day. The kids called Kim and told her they were at my house decorating for the party and she thought it was so funny that I wasn't going to be there. Later I called her and she was all excited telling me all about how the kids were at my house decorating for their party. I just laughed and played along with the joke knowing we had really fooled Kim.
