ooh, that recipe looks good too.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Because books.
And it's totally not OK for the older kids to pick on the younger ones. What's up with that?
At the town Halloween parade last night, while we were waiting to begin, a tweenish boy dressed as the Grim Reaper came up to several of our little kids (Sara, for instance, and younger, even a three-year-old) and STARED DOWN at them in his mask, completely freaking them out.
I asked who he was, expecting it to be a kid we knew (and then to scold him, because hey, LITTLE kids), and it was a complete stranger. So not right. Go scare your own friends, kid.
Now I want pumpkin muffins.

I don't know. It's a rec center thing. And the thought of that many preschoolers makes me dizzy. But both kids can get more wear on their costumes which is always fun.
So, anyone who has met Grace knows how loudly she breaths out of her trach. It's super loud. We have missed an opportunity this year to have her go as Darth Vader. It would have been perfect.

We went to trunk and treat at the catholic church a friend attends (I love trunk and treat events!) and the scariest costume? A girl was dressed as a trash can. She'd actually crouch down in the can and when someone lifted the lid to throw something away she'd jump up.
It's a good scary though. You know?

Aw, a tiny Vader! That would have been cute. There was a really wee Yoda tonight at the church thing.

Now tagless for your comfort.
We went to our downtown trick or treating tonight. The Roller Derby team had set up a hot chocolate/hot cider stand and was selling t-shirts and buttons as well. The kids got to trick or treat at all the businesses.
We have our second Halloween party tomorrow afternoon. I'm already tired.
Next weekend is Derby Nationals in Chicago, though! (Heads up to Chicagoistas!) I'm going down with some teammates though and we're only staying Saturday.

I still chuckle at the idea of the reactions you'd get. Hey, you got my itinerary, right?
I'm getting nutty about the shirt. It HAS to be in my bedding. Otherwise, I have to imagine a burglar who stole one 10 year old shirt. And I don't think I washed it with my bedding last. It's nuts. The only outside place it could be lost is the Y, and I think I'd notice if I left shirtless.

Where is my family, folks? I'm sure the kids have eaten, but I haven't, and Cody hasn't, and I'm hungry.

Sara, I once found a shirt that had fallen under the couch cushions and into the crack of the chair over a year after I lost it.

My clothes only come off upstairs and there ain't much furniture up there! Sorry, I am a little crazed.
