Large and bottomless dressup boxes should be mandatory - I have mine up in the big shed [ although to be honest it mainly gets used for grown up people, not little ones ]<br /><br />2.The kids look soooo sweet, I could just eat 'em up <br /><br />3. Have just purchased a Gryffindor robe, Harry glasses and wand[s] for grandson's birthday, supplemented with an el cheapo Halloween twig broomstick. Currently about halfway through knitting the gryffindor scarf [ POA version with the double bars ]<br /><br />4. For the 7th Halloween running had zero trick or treaters. There are families with children nearby but basically when the houses are all on 10 acre heavily treed blocks with houses set FAR back from the road, what responsible parent would let the kids trick or treat round here ?catsmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01953101594940806384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437730534870026306.post-12749992714889481532011-11-01T18:09:59.783-04:002011-11-01T18:09:59.783-04:00You, your girls, your mom, and that front porch ar...You, your girls, your mom, and that front porch are all awesome and adorable. (Love Maren's fat baby face! Love that you happened to have a pair of CHAPS in her size!)<br /><br />My halloween was fun, more fun than I had anticipated. I had planned on being anti-halloween, because I thought it was the right thing to do (me=nut). Then, I heard an awesome discussion on the radio about the goodness and wonder of halloween, and I was suddenly all for it, again. <br /><br />I wanted to be a zombie, and then decided it was too scary, and then saw it on "The Book of John" on Lazarus and decided it was awesome, and then decided it was too much work. So, I threw on a purple "housedress" and was an eggplant (not a beanbag) for work.<br /><br />Last night, I googled what time trick or treating started, ran to Publix and got two bags of candy, ran back, turned on all of the lights at the front of the house, gave Daniel a tutorial on how it worked, cooked supper, and bolted to the door every time the doorbell rang, followed closely by Daniel. I was "ebullient" as I threw handfulls of candy at every masked and unmasked face, and Daniel Aaawwwed behind me. Then, thirty minutes later, I turned off all of those lights and closed the blinds and went upstairs for an interactive night class on-line, and Daniel worked from home. <br /><br />A short blast of fun.annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621915642420308973noreply@blogger.com
