I was a bit tired today since my class took a field trip to Plimoth Plantation today. But that didn't stop me from answering the door for the trick or treaters. My favorites are always the little ones. You know the ones who have no idea what is going on but mom and dad are ecstatic that it's their kid's first or second Halloween. This year it was a tie for my favorite kid costume. Our neighbor's little boy was a skunk and another little girl was a strawberry. Both were adorable.
I am leaning toward an animal for our baby's 1st Halloween next year. Steve wants to dress the baby up as Lance Armstrong complete with baby bike shorts, yellow t-shirt and helmet. I smiled and told Steve, "We'll see."
Since we had an old toilet under our deck (doesn't everybody?) Steve wanted to use it as a prop. He took a skeleton and attached it to the toilet and made the skeleton reading a paper. He even put a spotlight on it. The kids didn't know what to make of it and the parents thought it was hysterical.
Since it is November 1st I am ready for the toilet to disappear. I don't want to be known as the trashy family on the street.

That's pretty damn funny.
I can't believe that you have a blog but not a Facebook account. For shame.
Funny! People here don't get into Halloween at all. I never thought I would say this, but I miss those giant blow up Halloween things and all the tacky, over the top decorations that Texans put up for every holiday. It is shameful...SHAMEFUL not to embrace an awesome holiday like Halloween!
I love it! Soo clever, creepy and hysterical--my favorite adjectives for a candy-filled Halloween. Aunty Susan, Los Angeles...where they have warm October nights...
It was the "doesn't everybody?" that made me laugh out loud...
