Indulge me a bit… I thought of this post ON Halloween, but I’m just now getting to post it!
The top 5 scary things about Halloween at my house:
5. The costumes available for eight year old boys. Austin chose the old stand-by: The Grim Reaper. He’s not smiling because “Grim Reapers don’t smile!”
4. The amount of candy that is collected by an eight year old boy in less than an hour. (No picture – trust me, it’s a huge pile.)
3. The sugar rush the rats at the city dump had after trash pickup in our neighborhood. (Our pile is SIGNIFICANTly smaller now).
2. The number of non-neighbor infants trick or treating in our neighborhood. I’m still floored at the ability of those moms to steer the stroller and manage their large bag of candy they were collecting for their infants.
and the number one scary thing about Halloween at our house…
1. The speed at which our carved pumpkins turned into a pile of moldy mush. (Again – trust me – you DON”T want to see this picture!)
