Here is the obligatory Halloween post: a few costume and friend pics. Emalie had her costume a good month before Halloween. She'd put it on once or twice a day, jump around the living room, throw a few webs and neatly store it away for the next day. Nikolas' costume....well, this isn't even the one I bought him for this year. He went to school in his sumo wrestler costume, but due to technical difficulties decided to dig out his Grim Reaper costume from a previous year for trick-or-treating. Oh well, the end result was achieved: mass quantities of candy. We took Em trick-or-treating with our neighbor friends, and Nik went with some other friends and had a sleep-over at their house. I guess he's at that age where it just isn't cool to trick-or-treat with your 3-year old sister! Thank goodness I can't eat all the milk chocolate (you know, 'milk' and that whole lactose issue). Poor Em can't eat it either for the same reason. At least this year, she understands it a little bit. She holds up a piece of candy and asks, "does this have milk in it?" And if the answer is yes, she sticks it back in the bag. It may be cruel now, but when she's a teenager, she'll probably be pretty thankful for all those extra calories she won't consume (that's the tactic I use to console myself, anyway, as I look longingly at that kit-kat bar)! Sheesh, and living in Colorado, do you know how many news stories were on about thoroughly checking your kids' candy to make sure there wasn't any 'pot candy' given out?! Seriously, back in the day it was razors and now it's pot. Not too sure about this crazy world we live in....... Well, no strange reactions to any of the trick-or-treat candy, so we must be in the clear! LOL.....sort of....... Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween!!
