A Halloweenie Sort of Week

The "festivities" actually began earlier in the week with our neighborhood's carnival. We had some popcorn, entered a costume contest, hung out with our friends, and stood in a very LONG line for free hot dogs. And then, I dropped mine on the ground.

For the record, that is frustrating.

After standing in a very LONG line and getting your hot dog fixed "just so" with the right amount of chili, mustard, and ketchup... you really do not want to drop it on the ground. Trust me. It's frustrating. Anyway, we all enjoyed ourselves. Especially the kids. And, isn't that what Halloween is all about? (Not me and sad, dirty, grass-covered hot dogs.)

Here's our cutie Harry Potter with his friends, the nurse and the werewolf. (aka... Jeanna's kids, Dori and Bennett)


And here's Harry painting a pumpkin. Wouldn't a spell be easier?


And who knew Harry Potter could dance so well? Go, Harry. Go, Harry.


Again, for the record, I found out later that my friend dropped her hot dog, too! Why does that make me happy?



And then... Halloween day arrived. We thought we'd start the sugar coma a little early by making cookies. Icing COVERED cookies. Because we weren't gonna have any more sweets that day.



Sometimes the waiting is the hardest part...
