I know I promised some pictures of Halloween yore, but my scanner broke and I didn't get it fixed in time. I will still post as they are quite enjoyable.
For now, I will tell you about our day. Taylor bought a costume for $35 and was such a cute Red Riding Hood. The kids were supposed to wear their costumes to school on Thursday, and so off she went in her Hood outfit. Now, those cheap costumes are not meant for a full day of school plus PE. Needless to say, she refused the costume when it was time to dress Halloween night, which made me totally crazy. I finally decided to get over it and she pulled together a hippie from the 70's(ish). Whatever. Nick was a scary clown and conformed with the face make up and was really scary looking. Enzo wasn't happy with his costume.
Earlier in the day, we bobbed for apples as we have doing since they were 2 and felt comfortable with them putting their head in a bucket of cold water. Nick was convinced we were using a smaller bucket this year. I finally had to convince him that he was just getting bigger.
For dinner, we had Dead Man on Worms. It is actually just the meatloaf winner from Loaf-A-Palooza shaped like a dead guy with blood coming out over pasta. It was a big hit and I highly recommend it before trick-or-treating next year. I think next time I will pipe mashed potatoes that I might tint a blood color.
Happy Halloween. I'm putting up my Christmas decorations today. Will explain later.

At what age do these kids get to quit sticking their heads in buckets of cold water for apples? Are the not old enough yet to revolt? Not sure how fun that looks sister but sure is funny thinking about how much enjoyment their Mom gets out of it!.....Krys
Great minds think alike, Riley dug out out the hippie costume from the costume box. She's the third person to wear it. If that costume could talk!
