rundown on the Halloween event


We had a fun Halloween yet again. To all the candy that my kids received...my diabetes says Thank You. For the first time ever, Mike and I tried to be a little more lax in our candy eating rules. We bagged up the candy minus anything chocolate, and sent it down to their bedrooms with them. We had bets on whose candy would be gone before 9 pm and sure enough...it was Jenny! The kids all dressed up- Jonathan as a Knight, Meghan as a 50's girl, Sidney the bug, Rachel the Go-Go dancer, and Jenny as the Queen of Hearts.Unbeknownst (is that a word??) to us, Sidney had grabbed a bag of M&M's out of her bucket and had eaten through the wrapper and smothered herself in chocolate. I spent a majority of today handwashing a costume that is not supposed to be washed. Good times!
And last but not least...it would not be Halloween unless our good friends the Bankheads came over and we did a group shot with all the kids together. We seriously have to do this each year because Porter and Jonathan always want to be the same thing.
Hooray for Halloween!
Oh yeah, and it's NaBloPoMo Day 1...check. Hopefully I can keep it up all month long.

Looks like your kids had a blast! Unwashable costumes? NEVER buy from THEM again, right? (Thor did the same thing with skittles, but he was wearing sweats...)
NaBloPoMo - check! I'll be checking in to see how you're doing! It's my first year doing it, I'm pretty excited!
