Does ANYBODY Actually LIKE Almond Joys?
I was going to write about how I have nothing to write about, can't blog because I'm too busy, blah blah blah. But instead I thought I'd write a little belated list about random Halloween facts.
- Baby Lug was a gorilla for Halloween. He wore the costume for exactly 5 minutes. If I had known that he'd hate wearing a costume so much I would've put him in the free costume we got from our next-door neighbor.
- When I was in elementary school my mom dressed up like a little kid for Halloween and I dressed up like a business lady. I wore one of her suits and high heels and carried a briefcase. I wear suits to work sometimes and I still feel like I'm playing dress up, and I don't get any candy for it!
- A few years ago Mr. Lug dressed up like an alien with a human coming out of it's stomach. Get it? Yeah, neither did anyone else! It was too clever for our own good.
- My favorite Halloween candy this year was Milky Way Bars. (Note that I am now on a diet.)
- Do you remember the razorblade-candy scare in the 80's? It gave me a terrible fear of unwrapped candy, and anything that didn't look store-bought. Home-made popcorn ball? No thank you.
- Both Mr. Lug and I had cafeteria workers on our trick-or-treat route that gave out cartons of chocolate milk instead of candy (obviously five-finger discounted from the school caf.)
- I think the main reason I love Halloween is because it leads to Thanksgiving - which is my real favorite holiday and will probably be the next time I post!

The thing about the milk cartons...made me laugh out loud. Seriously?! :-) Oh, and I have a pic of our kid in his costume in an almost identical stroller. Fun times!

I wouldn't have said that Almond Joys were good, until this year... maybe it's the pregnancy cravings, but I thought they were pretty darn tasty!

Once again little Simon is so very cute, is that a zoo of critters on a huge ass stroller?????

I like Almond Joys! GIMMEEEEEEEEEE.
I feel like I'm playing dress up sometimes at work too. I also feel like I'm getting away with something when I'm driving sometimes - like I'm still too young to really be doing this.
Babies + Halloween costumes with some sort of hat/mask = adorable. and also = sad baby. I've seen so many babies this year who were all I'm cute, now take the damn hat off.
Baby Lug is especially cute, though.

Adorable costume! Too bad Baby Lug wasn't feelin' the love. At least you got a picture of him before the meltdown, though! [no Almond Joys for me, thanks!]

Hi I am doing a drive by reading of your blog. I noticed you mention the razor blade in teh candy/apples. I wanted to tell you that in my area the scare was temporary tattoos with lsd in them. I am in oregon, and I know its way after the fact but as a parent its good to know for next year. Great Blog by the way!
