BOO!
Well we've survived another Halloween.
Of course for us Halloween wasn’t just a one-night celebration. We have been at it all weekend. Friday night, merchants at the local Mall were handing out candy.
We hit every store!
Saturday night our church had their Fall Festival. There were a lot of games and activities for all the kids, and lots of candy to be given away. Afterwards some of our friends took us to their church, which was having a "Trunk or Treat". That's where everyone gathers in the church parking lot pops the trunk of their van or SUV, and you guessed it, passes out free candy! The idea is to make it safer for the kids to trick or treat with out going to strange houses.
Now by the end of Saturday night you can imagine we have a pretty big cache of candy at our house, and that is not counting what we have bought just to give out on Halloween.
Tonight was the icing on the cake. With empty pumpkins and a solid purpose, the rock star, the princess, the ladybug, and myself were unleashed upon our unsuspecting neighborhood. After a profitable round in the edition, we left the lady bug at home with Mom ,and the twins and I hooked up with five other kids for an all out candy raid in another nearby housing edition.
It was great!
One house had turned their garage in to a decent Haunted House. The girls and I had a blast! And we got to do it all just before the heavy rain started.
Of course, after all the activities of the weekend everyone is exhausted. As usual I’m the only one still awake. Now, the only way I’m still awake is from consuming a highly dangerous combination of Butterfinger, Reese’s Peanut butter cups, Snickers, and lots of Hot Tamales mixed with Smarties. Washing it all down with Dr. Pepper.
I need to finish writing though, as I feel a Diabetic Comma coming on.
I hope you all had a great Halloween.
P.S. my kid’s dentist is paying a Dollar for every pound of candy you bring in. So far I think I have enough left over to purchase a new DVD player. Yeah!

That's funny, our dentist is passing out 5 lb bags of powdered sugar and crazy straws to suck it down with. Said something about "needing a new Porsche and his kid starting at NYU!"
Kudos on washing that candy down with Dr Pepper! I am doing the same for lunch today.
i've been having interesting meals since last night, as well. the candy is cool...i have recently discovered the reese-stick and the candy version of the s'more...washing it down with orange soda, and to cut the pain in my teeth, i'm using lays as an analgesic (no one can eat just one, right?). i can sympathize with the diabetic coma...i, however, feel an extra 40 pounds headed my way!
