Things got a little spooky at our house last month. Guess that's normal, since it was the month of ghouls, goblins, and ghosts! Halloween is quickly becoming a family favorite, as there's a certain someone at my house who enjoys getting into costume as much as his children, and then dragging his spouse into it... and then there's another certain someone who enjoys candy, and candy, and also candy. But don't look at me to name names, I'm mum on the subject.
Because I've learned that I still have lots to learn, here are some Halloween things I gleaned this year:
- My kids enjoy handing out candy as much as they like taking it in. Maybe we should do more handing out and less hoarding.
- Mosquitoes are vicious and when hungry enough, completely ignore repellent-laden clothes and skin and drink your blood anyway. And apparently they can bite through anything - denim, costumes and, yes, even underwear.
- All the importance and love of candy goes right out the window for Meaghan if she gets nail polish. One of the best handouts ever...if you're a mom who allows your daughter to paint her nails, that is. Yeah, I do.
- If a rule is being broken, Camron will shout it from the mountain tops. Of course I already knew this about Camron, but I didn't think he'd bust the rule-breaker while breaking the same rule himself. (No running!)
- If you're 21 and older, I find it to be a little creepy if you're trick-or-treating. Dig some change out of the couch cushions and go buy yourself a bag of candy.
- Almond Joy and Mounds are still the most disgusting candy bars ever. Even my kids don't like them. Hopefully they make good compost.
A few (and by a few I mean a ton) of pictures:

Cuz it goes to show you how hard it is to get two
kids to look at the camera, at the same time, and smile. |

| Golden. Or at least as golden as it's gonna get. |

the picture of you and "Disco Stu" is awesome!!
Feel free to pack up those Mounds and mail them my way..those are my favorite! :-)
I am diggin' your costume!
If I weren't so sure about the span of miles between us, I would accuse you of raiding my closet. Yes, I really did (maybe still do. . .maybe) own clothes similar to your "cool threads." And maybe, just maybe I actually wore them in public. . . .maybe.
