Happy Halloween!



I love Halloween! For a long time it was my favorite holiday. Fall, in general, is my favorite time of year, but the candy, the throwing together a last minute costume, going to haunted houses and getting chased by chainsaw guy, the candy...it's just so much fun. Now that the kids are here it's a totally different experience! It's not so much the chainsaws and haunted houses that scare me, but the sudden onslaught of sweets that doesn't stop until January! First, I can't even control MYSELF when it comes to sugary snacks...but now I also have to listen to the "I wanna piece of candy"...and "I don't want grilled cheese, I just want some candy". Really, how can I say no when I feel the same way?! I remember when Devin and Cody used to "share" their Halloween candy (everything but the Reeces Peanutbutter Cups...those were for their mom). They'd offer one piece and I'd sneak two! What a terrible aunt! My poor kids are going to think they only got 3 pieces of candy for Halloween... Good luck to all of you during the upcoming festivities. Be strong and just say "NO" (or at least "maybe just one").

Ok so how in the world do you make these adorable cakes. I want one. ;) And your kids look so much alike and different at the same time.
I cannot believe how big they are getting either. I hope you can say NO to candy. I know I have already opened a bag of sweets and ate half. I better go and make sure my kids dont find out. I will be in big trouble.

Argh! I love the kids' costumes! Ya, I remember those cady days really well. The boys still go trick-or-treating but I think they got MORE when they were little. I'm going to post their Halloween pics tonight. They are still so dang cute! I can't stand it!!

Ditto regarding the candy! I love the part about 3 pieces of candy.
