It’s finally here…the day we’ve been waiting for all year, Halloween. To tell you the truth, it’s been rather anti-climatic. After our afternoon of trick-or-treating on Sunday, our night of pumpkin carving on Tuesday, our dorm-room candy crawl on Wednesday, Liv’s school party on Thursday, and our morning of Halloween festivities at the Children’s Museum today, we are pretty much Halloweened-out…at least I am.

The amount of candy that is seductively displayed in my kitchen is beyond obscene. The Snickers and Reese’s cups are whispering sweet nothings to me every time I walk by. Willpower is not one of my strong suits. I can put down chocolate like nobody’s business. Miniature candy bars are like bubble baths, red wine, afternoon naps, and sex. They can make your heart sing.

Half of Kade’s class is ill so they postponed his Halloween party until Monday, which means we have at least 3 more days of this. And in true Kade fashion, he was talking to us at breakfast about what he’s going to dress up as next year…a ghost. He will continue to talk about his costume for the next 365 days…let the countdown begin.
