Halloween...

also known as Windy's least favorite holiday EVER!

Due to my dislike of Halloween (and to the fact that I'm working), my kids had to scavenge for Halloween costumes around the house. Emily went as an LA Kings hockey player (thanks to a hockey jersey my mom and I gave Shad for Christmas when we were engaged). Laura went as a ballerina (thanks to Emily's ballet recital costume from when she was in Kindergarten). Peter was a Sir Laughs-a-Lot (thanks to a craft he made at a friend's birthday party at least 2 years ago).

I was also a Halloween Scrooge this year, by saying "NO WAY" to outrageous candy prices. I refuse to buy anything but chocolate to pass out to trick-or-treaters. Usually Wal-mart has a bag of KitKats or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups for $2 or less. This year all of the chocolate was $2.50, and so I only bought 4 bags, instead of the usual 8.

Now my kids have tons of candy, and it calls to me and begs me to come eat it. Which is just another reason why I hate Halloween!
