Happy Halloween!

Tonight is Halloween and I decided this morning to make myself leave work early this afternoon so I wouldn't get stuck in the traffic... you know when every parent in the Atlanta metro area leaves early to get home before dark... well as it turns out since Daylight Savings has not kicked yet, daylight was upon us up until about 7:30pm instead of like previous years when it was dark by 6:15-ish. Anyway, I managed to escape the office by 4:00 and I am here to tell you the traffic was still bad! I made it home by 5:15 or so and how nice was it to be home so eary!! I set up the candy bowl and we trekked up our long steep driveway with our lounge chairs, the candy and the dog in tow. We sat up there for almost an hour before ONE group of kiddies (7 total) and their adult chaperones (5 total) came by and I loaded them up generously. (Of course, that was after all the candy Mike and I devoured before they even got there... That reminds me... I learned a huge lesson this year... Don't buy your Halloween candy until like 2 or 3 days before the day... we bought 10 bags of candy about 3 weeks before and needless to say, by this past weekend the only ones left were the 2,000+ Tootsie Rolls. BIG Lesson for us! Anyhoo, Halloween is definitely my favorite holiday... the decorations, the costumes, the pumpkins, the eerie stories and music, the horror movies in watchable TV versions.... aaaahhhhh.... I cannot wait for next year already!!

Look- it's Cousin It!
