All Spooked Out!

Everybody knows I love Halloween.  I love ding-dong ditching treats and being ding-dong ditched.  I love making marshmallow eyeballs, mummy dogs and graveyard cakes. I love the costumes, the parades and the carnivals.  I love trick-or-treating.  And Goodness knows I love the candy!  But, I have to say that I am pooped, People.  We celebrated all weekend long.  We had school parties on Friday and we had trunk-or-treats/carnivals on Friday and Saturday night.  And that doesn't even take into account the actual trick-or-treating.  And now I am ready to put away the candy, throw away the jack-o-lanterns and take down the spider webs until next year.  I think I'd like to sleep until it's time to make Thanksgiving pies.   Above is Miranda at her class party with the coolest cupcakes ever.

Here are Morticia Adams, the big bad wolf,  the vampiress and Colin the dragon trick-or-treating at Great Grandma Woods's house.  We colored Miranda's and Bethany's hair black for one night but quickly decided it wasn't worth the mess.
Three of the cutest Halloween goblins in town ready to head to party #3 on Saturday night.  Aunt Emily did their makeup and they were quite dazzling.  Sadly, I have no pictures of the party poopers, I mean boys, in their costumes, because of course they refused to wear any.

And now that the week of fright is at last over, it's time to move onto a week that is truly scary, haunted by election results and La Cueva Basketball tryouts.  Spooky!

Those are some cute little spooks. I wish we could have gone trick or treating together. Did you eat any snickers in honor of Poppy?

Oh Jules, you HAVE always loved the ding dong ditch. I remember you and Sonja doing it to the apt. next door every time Ty Detmer was over there. I was way too much of a ninny to do it.
Your girls are darling. Glad to hear your Halloween was as busy as ours. Crazy!

Julie, you would ding-dong ditch Ty Detmer! Now THAT is classic. Yes, don't we all love Halloween. I actually love it more & more each year. But each year it seems to get bigger & bigger. Our Ben Franklin said it is by far their best-selling holiday! Really.
