Qotd 10/15

[party of 3]

We live in the middle of nowhere. The houses are too far apart to trick-or-treat. Nobody has their lights on this street. I always buy the Wonka mix, just incase someone does decide to come up our 500 foot driveway. And they are the kids favorite, so they usually eat them.

My youngest will be a pirate and my eldest a ninja. This is for the school parties. We don't go trick-or-treating since I would feel like a heel driving my children to a neighbor we don't live in to get candy from strangers. We live too far from the malls to do that. And the zoo is way too far for just trick or treating.

yup that us. we have no neighbors. we usually drive to my mom's, my mil's, my bff and bil/sil. so 4 stops total. it works out great for us. because he does not get a ton of candy. he likes to go to those places because he gets to hand out candy at those houses and he gets to see all the costumes. he is going to be a fireman this year. i'm still looking for some kind of boots for it. he has the coat, hat, fire extinguisher. any ideas for the boots?anyone??

blech!!! to this day I won't touch orange soda!!!

yup, me too! i failed the 1st time and had to do the 4 hour one. yuk-o! i puked all day everyday of my pregnancy, so it was hard to keep that syrup down. all i remember is the lady doing the test telling me, "holly, if you throw up now we just have to start over from scratch!!!!!" looking back it was not so awful, but at the time it was the worst ever!!!! funny, huh?!

Garden boots-black or green and some duck tape around the top. Fireman boots.

DD 2.5 is going as Mary Poppins. I spray painted her Easter hat black and added the cherries and daisies--it turned out VERY cute! Found an old purse to use as a carpet bag/candy carrier and 'splurged' on the kids' MP umbrella from Disneyshopping.com when it was 20% off and free shipping over $50. Black dress coat and a scarf and we are good to go!

As for what we are handing out, probably chocolate (Snickers, Kit Kat, etc.)but I usually try to have a little something for the 'babies' as well. Last year, it was the mini-play-dohs. Not sure what I will choose this year... We usually only get about 60 kids, so I can afford that. If we had double that (or more) we would hand out the cheap stuff!

my boys went as Chimney Sweeps for MNSSHP 2 years ago!! It was so cute!

My little guy is going to a firefighter if it is too hot for him to be Buzz. I found boots for him at a local toy store. I would offer to go get you a pair and ship them, but I bought the last pair! They are made by the Washington Shoe Company under their Western Chief kids line and are a part of the rain boots line. They are adorable and DS has been wearing them every day since we bought them.

I had to do the 4 hour test too! UGH- it was HORRIBLE. I have teeny tiny veins and for them to draw blood after every hour was excrutiating. My arms looked absolutely horrible at the end of it all.

DD will be wearing her Elizabeth POTC costume from MHT (had a GREAT TIME) we will only be hitting a few houses this year since DH will be out of town, DD likes handing out the candy anyways. I just got the big pack of candy from Costco, so its a good mixture of everything.
