Happy Halloween!

Halloween was a success. Hooray! How could it not be when the kids collected enough candy for a year in one night? It turns out that even though quite a few kids don’t know who Wonder Woman is, most adults do. I told Ryeley that Mira’s mom told me she could “totally tell that she was Wonder Woman”. She got this great big smile on her face. I laughed and asked her if she liked her costume. She laughed too and said “Yes!” Whew! Thanks, Amber.

Trunk-or-treating, I think, is one of the best things ever invented. My kids came to my work and trick-or-treated the offices and then went to the trunk-or-treat. That’s it. There was none of the traditional having to hoof it around the neighborhood and actually work to get the candy. Speaking of traditions, I miss being at home with my mom and visiting all of the grandparents on Halloween. When I was a kid, one of our traditions was to meet at my grandma’s house with all of the cousins and break a piñata.

Here are some pictures of my beauties on Halloween. Hayley was a vampiress, Ryeley was Wonder Woman and Jaycey was Tinkerbell. Brian didn’t dress up, so I told him he went as Oscar the Grouch. I went in my true form as an ogre! :o)
