Halloween, Better Late than Never

Remember my sort of depressing post about Halloween? I've had some time to pick up the pieces and move on. I've resolved to start planning next years costumes in August so my kids aren't total loosers and I don't hate my mothering skills. I'm thinking about buying my cousin's kids costumes, if she'll sell. Click HERE kids, to see what you COULD be next year (as opposed to LOSERS, like this year, except for you, Rachel. You were cute)


All my youngest kids went to sleep over at their cousins and had a great time passing out all their trick-or-treat candy on the front porch. Must I say? This is a genius idea! The kids learn to share and give to those less fortunate and they don't rot their teeth. Plus Josh and Emma brought home their pillowcases FULL and were willing to share with the rest of us "goodwill to men" types.

Here is a photo of me enjoying Halloween. I know many of you wondered if I did. No, I'm not the princess in the front or the witch. They are related to me. I'm the smiling girl, sans costume, in the back. I do have pumpkin earings on, just so you know.

Really, I wrote this post so I could show off my sister-in-law's butt. It's a prosthetic behind, but cracks me up. She went to an 80's party as the "Where's the Beef" Lady and her hubby was "The Beef." They won the prize of the night. I think it was because her butt was such a shocker to everyone.

My other sister-in-law planned these MilliVanilli costumes. Many of you might remember these artists that were actually posers?! They sang lipsyncd "Blame it on the Rain" and "Girl, You Know it's True" You can't actually buy their music anywhere, it was pulled from all sales. . . and I can't find my tapes. . .very depressing. The world might have lost their NOT-music. These two nuts won a prize too and Jared finally saw Christine with a tan for the first time in their lives.

Next year Damian and I are going to have the costume to beat all costumes. Or we might die trying.
