I can't believe how long it has been since I last posted. It's hard to think of something to write when you have a boring life. Trust me my life is BORING.

The weather here has gotten a little cooler. That helps get everyone in the mood for Halloween. It's going to be fun this year. Serif is at a good age to go trick or treating. This year we will be going over to Terry's sister's neighborhood and all trick or treat together. Of course I will be posting pictures.

Our family is very big on traditions. That's just the way we are. Every Halloween my mother would make a big pot of chili. That way I would have a some food in me before I started on the candy. That is a tradition that I carried over into my family. Patrick loved my chili and always looked forward to having it for Halloween.

Chili is perfect for a night like Halloween. First of all it's filling. I could feed the kids early before they set off trick or treating. Then it could just simmer until the grown ups had time to eat.

So tonight I will start making the chili for the family. It's an easy recipe but it does take time. This way I can simmer it all evening and then finish it up tomorrow when I get home. Right after I come back from seeing all the 3 year olds in Serif's class all dressed up in their Halloween costumes. That is going to be so cool.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween.
