We dressed them up, they were cute, and we shoved them out the door to beg for candy. That about covers it for Halloween as far as I’m concerned. I’m aware I could be treading on thin ice with some of you, but hey, it’s not the first time.
I will have to admit that it was pretty cute watching this one sprint from house to house, and when you’re that adorable it’s hard not to take in a pretty good haul.
CB confirming that, yes, that freak with one arm and a machete protruding from his scalp was actually a real person and not a statue. Thank the Lord for high speed photography or I never would have gotten a pic. Back to my original theme of Halloween. Probably my least favorite holiday. Fortunately, Al shares my opinion on this one.
I think it was the night of Halloween when we started making plans and Al mentioned that we had been invited to three or four different dress up parties. She failed to mention any of that to me…wise woman. The whole dress up scene is great, until maybe the age of 8. Anything after that, and you’re pushing it.
I did have to put one up of my ballerina. Look closely at the footwork. I did that once, actually twice. The first time I was on crutches for 4 weeks, the second was much worse. Clearly, she doesn’t have her old man’s ankles.
The funny thing with our girls is that they’re picking up on the Halloween vibe as well. I think next year we’ll throw four or five bags of candy on the table, let the girls dig through everything they want, and call it good. Works for me.
Cute trick or treaters!! I agree about adults dressing up. It just gets a little weird!
We’re the same with Halloween! Geez, you buy 10 bags of candy for all the different Fall Fests for church, school and friends, and your kids don’t even end up with half that when they come home. Not that I want them to have that much! But, I agree, next year, we’ll buy a few bags and let them dump them into their buckets. Done.
