Now do you see what I have to live with? This is Rocky doing the hula, and then reading my favorite book on Shakespeare's Insults. My kids love to Trick- Or- Treat at Halloween but in Colorado we need to find costumes that fit over snowsuits or other warm clothing. This is her choice for this year. Of course, with our luck we won't be able to find the mask come October 31st.
Halloween is a big thing in our family... not because we're pagan (we are not), but because we LOVE to dress up! After our first freezing experience here with Trick-or-Treating in the snow, we've always had a huge urn of hot apple cider for the kids and parents who come knocking on All Hallows Eve. This has become an expected tradition and kids we only see once a year come running to our house for the steamy beverage, often forgetting to collect the candy as well. We are also known as a safe house for potty breaks, emergency phone calls, and a quick warm up (we've started setting up a firepit and heater since 2000). And one year, I kid you not, when we offered a mother a cup of coffee, she asked for a beer in jest... and I gave her one! Needless to say our house has NEVER been TP'd on Halloween.

Is it time for halloween?!?!?! Did I miss the rest of September? I know I've been stressed lately but geesh!!!!
Been missing your visits to my place. I figure you're just as busy as I've been for a while. Are you still planing on becoming a SAHM after christmas? Maybe we'll have more time to "talk" then.
Hope you had a great day!

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I used to love it going out with the kids when they were little. We kind of had an egg/flour/shaving cream fight in my kitchen (in jest) one year...that was so funny, but it took forever to clean up. My sisterinlaws claim that their hair was never so shinny, hehehe....Sandi
looks like shes having a ball
Just had to stop by. That's adorable, lol. Halloween brings out the kid in alll of us.

I love love love your Journal!!!!! Halloween is my favorite holiday too and we do the firepit thing. I also like to dress up a little scary for my youngest's friends when they come by. For the younger children I usually have my husband approach them and assure them it is just make up. I am not pagan either...just love being a kid again for at least one day a year....I even try to get the day off every year. I dunno if I will be the grim reaper or a witch this year but I plan to have a lot of fun (and maybe wash it down with a wee bit of whiskey LOL). Taketh Care.
I adore Rocky. I wish she and Tabitha could hook up. They'd rule the world.
That is so adorable! The pictures just made me smile :-)

Dorn this is precious! I can't imagine what it's like to Trick Or Treat in the snow. The coldest place I've ever lived is in Connecticut but I didn't have a little one until after I moved away from there. I don't ever remember it being snowy there at Halloween in the entire 20 years that I live there :) Now I do remember snow at Easter time :)
