On The Curb

I’ve been craving miniature candy bars and gum that loses its flavor in 5 chews

Finally, a Halloween where everyone agrees to wear their costume and march about town begging for candy.  You know, this is the reason I have four kids…to ensure fruitful returns on trick-or-treating ventures.  (i love candy)  Sadly, Gav, my top dog in candy gains, was in California for a wedding.  So, I had to rely on the younger three pot-bellied plush critters ‘o mine to appease Mom’s insatiable sweet tooth.

Feast your eyes upon the only photo I could swing with all three candy-getters in the same frame.  I managed to herd them into the corner of an abandoned storefront where the concrete is likely soaked with homeless urine. Because we street like dat.

Fantastical zoo escapees

This is Gab’s first year of actually wearing a costume for the trick-or-treating fest.  Last year, she went as herself and then later agreed to wear her giraffe costume in mid-November.  The year before that, forget about it…Nemo debacle all over the living room floor for two whole minutes.

I feared the twins would follow in Gab’s Boo on You, Halloween Attire! footsteps.  Fortunately, they were completely into recycled costumes giving Giraffe and Nemo the Halloween face time they so deserved.  I’ll soon load up Flickr with costumed creature goodness.  Until then, enjoy these 60 seconds or so of children maneuvering mass amounts of belly and booty fluff.

    OMG, they are so flippin cute! I just love those plush kind of costumes for the wee ones.

    Let’s hope they didn’t pick up anything when you shoved them into that dark, urban corner of death. ;)

    Boy, those cuties almost make me want to have a fourth. Almost. Ah, maybe I’ll just keep on virtually enjoying yours.

    Happy Halloween! Let’s hope our waistlines don’t expand relative to the amounts of treats we’ll consume! I know, impossible but one can hope.

    Many thanks, Mary Lynn and CynthiaK!

    Now, ummm, CynthiaK, what is this waist and where do I get in line for one? (pardon my lame stab at humor)
