Shorty McShort aka Candy Giver on Halloween
click here or here for why she's not trick or treating

Jack-O-Lanterns all lit up

That's all I have for now. I can't make this stop underlining...I have no idea what I did....

So I'm relieved to say that yesterday went much smoother than I'd predicted (with Shorty losing her trick or treating privileges and all). We picked her up from daycare and had our usual Friday evening pizza and a movie. We watched Charlie Brown's Halloween. We had Grammy Melynda over too. That was the true hit with Shorty. Oh, and passing out candy each time the doorbell rang. Seriously....the wait between dings killed her. She'd keep asking when is the doorbell going to ring?! (She inherited her dad's patience)

The day was harder on me than I'd expected. I shared what happened yesterday at daycare with a couple friends at work and then just felt terrible and got all teary. I know we did the right thing. I just didn't expect it to be so emotionally difficult. Ya know?

So that was our halloween.

And why did I put a cuss-o-meter on this post? Cuz I saw it on another post and thought it was cool. I wonder if I type some cuss words if it'll increase my cuss level...hmmm.....let's see. I'll put some nasty profanity and then run the cuss-o-meter again. Check back Monday to see. I know, you're waiting with bated breath. Not.

Happy Saturday to you all and if you've not entered my giveaway yet please do so!

'nuff said...what would you do? my four year old hit a two year old with a 2x4 at daycare yesterday...would you take halloween away? i did. thank goodness the little boy is ok. i'm sure we'll have plenty more tears tonight. i hope this is big enough that she gets the no hitting message.

being a mom is hard.

Halloween Costumes Gone Wrong

So my twin, bless her I don't have a blog yet humorous soul sent me an e-mail with pictures of halloween costumes gone wrong. Here we go, with my little snarky comments as well, stated just below the picture.

Ok "Elvis", did you seriously mean to have the camel toe effect with the costume or is that a side effect of all the polyester/spandex? WRONG, JUST TOTALLY WRONG! Leave the camel for the cover of a cigarette box!

Ok Hooter Boys, you get a kudos. Fantastic idea. I'd like to call this "Hooter Reunion...40 years post retirement". Bwahahahahahaha...and how did they make the boobs? They're great!

Ok, seriously...too far. He's gone too far. I so badly wish I were friends with Ree at Confessions of a Pioneer Woman so I could share this with her. I'm thinking she'd find it hilarious, but I don't know....I wouldn't want her to think some sick-o was stalking her, so I'm NOT going to send it to her. But feel free to do it on your own! (and I do kinda get the sick sheep humor. I did grow up in South Dakota after all!!!)

Just one word: SICK! Does he seriously think he's some kind of crime fighter? The only thing he is going to be able to do is scare everyone away. I just don't get it.

I have no words for this one. Seriously. What the F*#K?! Does she understand how positively creepy this is? That she can only be open to complete public scrutiny? OMG!
