Ghosts of Halloween Costumes Past

Halloween is such a fun time of year! The kids love deciding

what they're going to dress up as and carefully planning it

out months in advance. Thankfully mine aren't too picky

and don't mind wearing reruns occasionally. And of course

there's the candy factor. They always get WAY more candy

than they ever need and seem to still have some around

until after Christmas, even after gorging themselves the first

couple of days after. My personal favorite is the little ditty

the kids sing around the house the whole month of October.

It goes something like this:

Trick or Treat
Smell my feet
Give me something good to eat
If you don't, I don't care
I'll pull down your underwear

A friend of mine posted past Halloween pics of her kids

and I thought I'd steal her idea and do the same.

(Thanks Merideth!)
