Halloween Caroling

Our family decided that we would go trick-or-treating together this year. Now don't get me wrong, I like doing things with the family, but trick-or-treating when you're 18 is a mite bit awkward.

To counteract the awkwardness Emily, Arita and I decided to do something really creative with our costumes. Instead of going as sheet clad ghosts to disguise our age, we went as Christmas carolers.

We pundled up in hats and scarves, grabbed a Chrismas song book and went around singing Jingle Bells and We Wish You a Merry Christmas at every house. Fortunately for us, it seemed that more people that it was hilarious and a great idea than thought we were obnoxious punks for trick-or-treating.

One lady in particular, made a big deal how talented of singers we were. That made us laugh because I know that I sound a bit worse than a rusty file on chalkboard. If there were more people like her, I could sign myself on a record label and not have to worry about finding money for college.

Very good. I debated whether I should go trick or treating this year but due to the reception that I received last year (and due to the minor fact that it was dumping down rain...) I decided not too.

That's so funny. It sure would be nice if getting money for college was that easy. I'm going to go pundle up for class now. ;)

Well you can use this as a jumping off point for the Rabenstrange College Fund or RCF for short...

Sweetness! I wish I could have seen that one. :)The first time I went trick or treating was last year-I was 16.

ACK! Rabenstrange I need help. Maybe I should have emailed you this because it could be long and I don't want you to be kicked out of the women haters club... Anyway, there's this button picture thing I want to put on my blog but I don't know how! Here's the link for the pic:

I would have asked my brother but he never answers my emails.

Oh That is good. I never would have thought of that. The best I could come up with was to change my costume, and go around my block three times. They never figured it out.

Ha, ha, ha. That lady reminds me of my grandma. I could play the piano soooo bad and she'd do the same, neverminding that it sounded horrible.
