Happy Halloween!

Halloween is always a lot of fun for me. I REALLY like candy, so that's a big part of it. I also like costumes and dressing up. I didn't dress up, but the rest of my family did.

This is how I sent Tom to work yesterday:


He was the lunch lady - you know from the Chris Farley & Adam Sandler skit. He looked pretty ridiculous. I even worked the night before (with his enforced aid) to make him a large man skirt. He bought himself a lady blouse and a wig and voila! Tom actually won the most creative costume category at work, so he got a $25 gift card to Chili's/Macaroni Grill. I suppose that helps pay for the outfit, right? (I'm thinking he won't get a lot of future use out of the blouse and skirt . . . )


I brought the girls to Tom's work for some workplace trick-or-treating. Abby just wanted to keep going after that and start in on the neighborhood, but I had to hold her back. She really likes this novel way of getting bags of candy!

I didn't get a whole lot of fabulous pictures of the girls. I can't generally get one of the two of them looking in the same direction at the same time. But here you go:

They were Mariposa and Tinkerbell. Abby gladly told just about everybody who opened their front door their names and who they were dressed up as. She sure is friendly! After trick-or-treating we visited with both sets of grandparents and got even more candy and treats. We ended the late night getting the kids in bed around 10:30. They never would have made it that long if it weren't for all the candy . . .

Tom looks hillarious. I think he should have stayed dressed like that all day so we could have seen him that night. And of course the girls look sooo cute. I know Benny wouldn't have stayed up that long if it wouldn't have been for Abby and all the candy he had eaten before she got there.
