It doesn't make you a bad parent, Barb. It's not everyone's cup o' tea. As our kids get older, I'd like Halloween to be our Christmas, really. It's a lot less stressful and with less snow.
What? She killed 'em with mathematics. What else could it have been?

I've always admired people who can go all out for Halloween because it does seem like a ton of fun. My issues with it are all about the walking outside in the dark because I'm a big wuss.

We've been discussing costumes for Grace and Noah. K is not a big Halloweenie, but I am. Last year they were Thing 1 and Thing 2. The problem is that both kids are indoors for a party at Grace's place and it's hot so we need costumes where they can be cool. I'm thinking woodland fairy for Grace. But what's equivalent for Noah.

Thanks, Gar. I was hoping you'd chime in since I knew you'd put a lot of time and energy into thinking through these issues.

Any Chicagoistas have recommendations for moving companies? The last time I moved was eight years ago....
OH!!! I KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS! Except i can't remember the company's name. We hired a completely awesome moving company to move bob's stuff from his condo to the truck we hauled it across the country in. Super professional, efficient, and cheap as hell. I'll ask him tomorrow and let you know. I've been waiting to recommend them to someone!
In other news, sarameg is a giant cutiehead! Some of you know this already.
Also, Grace as a woodland fairy and Noah as Puck would be A. Dorable!

How is it she beat me here? Oh yeah, I dropped her off.
Well, LISAH is a BIGGER cutiehead WITH pipes. So there.
Yeah, a good night. Exercising pieces of me and it's FUN. If discombobulating. Who is this?
Noah as Puck works. Or troll. Depending on how he's acting.

I'm thinking like Mickey Rooney's costume.
eta: I take it back. He's kind of nekkid. Or at least shirtless. Too cold for October.
