I caved...

Yes, I caved, after my no-candy Halloween mantra. I did add candy to my wax lips and sticky eyeball combination after repeated emails from males (mind you, no women said going sans candy was a bad idea). I heard, "you're going to be THAT house, the one that no one comes to", or "some one's going to egg your house or smash your pumpkins". I must say, none of which happened, and it wasn't because I had candy, it's because we are a 'cool' house.

And, since we're in confession mode (we meaning me), I did go to the local Walgreen's in between school carnivals and parties and trick or treating at the office and bought a bag of Halloween candy and started eating it...and I haven't stopped. This is why I don't like Halloween, OK, the constant sugar rush isn't so swell either, but I have no willpower.

And I forgot to take pictures of the kids on Halloween night. In fact, I don't even know where my camera went. This is very bad news. So, instead of pictures of my kids on Halloween night, I'll give you a small sample of some family pictures we had earlier in October.

I love your pictures! You'll have to let me know who did them for you. Halloween candy + me= a dreaded visit to the doctors office this week. Seriously, I went overboard this year (with eating sweets, that is). Speaking of food, are you still up for lunch? I'll bring the food (and the treats) this time :) Does Thursday afternoon work for you?

Mo, I love the pictures. Especially the one with Elly crying. I have a picture of Mike and BJ crying while Mary is holding them. It is one of my favorites because it captured what was going on in my life at that time. Did you know there's something special in Halloween candy that makes it taste better than any other candy? Gotta get it while you can!
