Pre-Halloween

Photobucket Photobucket
We made these bags last year and it was fun to get them out again.  I told the kids that if this bag gets full it's time to come home and let mom go through all of it to remove the candy that might be poisoned.  I usually find a pretty good handful, or two, of suspicious looking KitKat's every year.  It feels good to save the lives of my children; such a sacrifice.

I've already eaten 2 bags of candy I bought early so I had to buy more today. Typical.  Our neighborhood is CRAZY on Halloween.  Literally hundreds of kids and never enough candy!  There's a house on the main drag that has a live band play on their porch, and a house at the front of the subdivision that sets up a real live haunted lawn every kid is scared of, but they hand out big treat bags so they go anyways.  Freaky house.

We told Dani she was too old to Trick or Treat this year and she has chosen to show her disappointment by shaking uncontrollably on the floor and holding her breath till she turns purple.  I'm not convinced.

We have the costumes all worked out, but there are always last minute changes so we'll see what we end up with tonight.  The Pretty Skeleton Girl came home from school a little crabby so we may end up with a Pretty Grumpy Witch Ready for Bed.

And in other news...my Holiday Mint M&M's are now in stores!  Time to decorate the tree.  Merry Christmas.

I have eaten two mini-Baby Ruth bars... but I plan to have a couple Twix as well. My hubby and I have an agreement. He takes whatever candy is left after midnight to work tomorrow so I won't eat it all. *Ü* It is tough being a chocoholic.

Hugs Miss Cally! Have a 'spooktacular' Halloween.

Matthew's wife...Rena...buys off candy from her kids. She does NOT like them having all that candy. So they negotiate a pay off system.

We get no trick or treaters where we live...it is out in the country and down a 1/4 mile road just to get to our house, in the dark....nope, no one comes here.

I miss the little kids and their cute costumes.

As claimed by Stanford Medical, It's really the one and ONLY reason this country's women get to live 10 years more and weigh an average of 42 pounds less than us.

(And really, it is not related to genetics or some secret-exercise and absolutely EVERYTHING about "how" they eat.)

BTW, What I said is "HOW", and not "WHAT"...

토토사이트 Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. A great read. I’ll definitely be back.

I think the restaurant which you told me in the letter is very interesting. I also like to eat out and I usually go to a restaurant for dinner with my family twice a month., The food is delicious so we enjoy it very much. The service is also quick and friendly.
