It's Halloween and the kids are finally in bed. It's been a busy day for me - painting the dining room, organizing dinner and trick or treat activities and our normal stuff too. Baxter in down in Cordele at an 800 acre plantation/hunting retreat with a bunch of his buds. He missed trick or treating tonight and we missed him too. Even though Anna and her boys came, it didn't feel the same with Baxter gone. He's staying down there to watch the Florida game and will come back Sunday. I don't know how wives routinely miss their husbands. My friend Mindi's husband travels a bit with his job, Jennifer's hubby is on the road a good portion of the year and I've known a couple of military wives who really know what it is like to do it all on their own. I don't take Baxter for granted at all. I miss him. I knew I would miss him and I do. Abby and Ford also missed him. Life just isn't the same without him. For his sake, I hope he brings home a big trophy - although we already have three...
I have just posted a venison recipe on my food blog. I'm trying to catch up there after leaving a couple of drafts unpublished for too long. I'll probably post again in a few days there.
Trick or Treating was fun - I even dressed up as a bat (sort of). I have a lot of candy to go through tonight. Here are some cute pics of my kiddies...
