Halloween at the Needham's

Friday October 26,2012

 Happy Halloween to all my fabulous reader's. Without you my blog would not be a hit. I'm always early in decorating the house. This was done back in September. I love the holiday it's one of my favorites. I spend way too much money on Halloween stuff. Last year I cleared out the Halloween store when I took my grandma shopping. I was a little disappointed that we didn't have a Halloween Birthday party for Christopher like last year. That's the only down fall living in a different state then your family. On another note we have spent a lot of time with my hubby's family which is nice for a change. It brings new lines of the Needham's closer together. We are thinking about Thanksgiving in Alabama this year. It could be  a mini vacation t for us to. Steve and I will have two weeks off of work. Of course Justin is undecided on a costume this year like every year. He has a hand full to pick from but I think we will end up buying him a new one anyways. The costume's in the house never really get put up. The boys are dressing up just because they want to play with lego's or go to the store. I love my children's creativity. It makes me smile. I hope Christopher keeps his M&M costume on this weekend. He didn't seem to thrilled about dressing up when I wanted him to. Boys I swear they are worst then girls sometimes.

It's a little stranger going trick and treating with my boys wearing a short sleeve shirt. It was hot until the sun went down. I kind of felt a little out of place without it raining wearing a winter coat and freezing my butt off.

The boys had a blast. They played games at the museum where the treat and treating took place. Listen to music and had some cider which they didn't care for.  Christopher is still not sure what to make of Halloween yet. He was shy I know Christopher shy. I can't believe it either! Justin got a lot of compliments for his get up.

One lady asked "If he went to boot camp to be an army man?"

Justin "Yes, I did but I'm a Marine!"

I guess you can say like father like son.

I guess the cold weather made up for me missing Michigan. The boys had to wear long sleeve shirts it was 64 degrees. I was freezing while the boys and I hit up a trunk and treating.

I'm going to say it I know I want it to be 100 and sunny. It is 48 degrees right now at 10 am. Oh, no I moved away from the cold I don't want it here. The boys and I will hit up another trunk and treating tonight at 5pm. I hope it gets a little warmer then what it is now. I hate this weather

 

Halloween night thanks for dressing me up stud muffin. My hubby is too funny! Still he says I'm hot even dressed up in war paint.

 

Have fun most of all be safe. Keep your kids near by check all the candy. Look before you cross the street and never walk into someones house.

Happy Halloween!

My Name is Christina

My story technically starts at age 8 when my parents divorced. My mom met this man through my aunt's friend after the divorce. The man's name is Lawrence (Larry) Brannick. We moved into his home when I was 9. At age ten he started the "tickle game" where he would touch my privates. I didn't know any better. At age 12, it started getting worse. He was taking miss pictures of me while touching me. At age 13 I knew better and I tried to tell him that I was going to say something to my mom. He held an unregistered gun to my head and told me that if I told anyone he would kill me. As the time went on he started using sex toys on me and taking pictures of it. If I refused to take pictures, let him see me naked or anything of that aspect he would ground me or discipline me in some way he saw fit. This lasted till I was 17. I don't remember how old I was when he forced me to have sex with him. The year I turned 17 it only stopped because my mom and I moved out of his house.

It was my senior year of high school. I told my ex fiance what was going on and he told my mom. This was around Christmas time. I was pulled out of school by the police and taken to the house to identify myself in the pictures. Larry served 10 years in prison. He got out March 13th 2012. I still fear for my life that he will kill me and my mom.

I do not call myself a victim. I AM a Survivor!
