Fright Night

Our pumpkins are carved, our costumes are done, I've got my bat tattoo on (see above), we have candy to hand out tonight (if we are home long enough to get any trick or treaters).

And wouldn't you know it- the time is just crawling by. I'm horrible about this- I love Halloween. It's such a fun night. And- to make it even better- this is the first year that I actually have a child wearing a truly scary costume.

My oldest is going as a zombie. We had fun making his costume yesterday- lots of dirt (because he just crawled out of the grave), lots of blood, we got to destroy a perfectly good shirt (I bought a cheap one for this).

Evan is going as Superman. No surprise there- he's still really into superheroes.

Dylan is going at Clark Kent- or, in his words, 'Superman's pahpa'.

Cody and I were looking at his make up for tonight. I told him that he'd have peeling skin and that he'd look really cool. I forget how literal he can be- he just looked at me with these huge eyes and said 'But I don't want you to peel my skin off.' Um, dude, it's all make up and it won't hurt you a bit.

We've all been sick and now we all have colds. And of course this is one of those weeks where Dylan and Evan can't stand each other and are fighting constantly, and over the silliest little things. Yesterday- they are argued over a MOUSEPAD! If they argue tonight, I'm cutting trick or treating short because I'm not dragging two whiny brats angels through the neighborhood tonight.
