When I was too tall to trick-or-treat, I turned all my efforts into pumpkin carving, creating spooky porches at my house (for trick or treaters that never showed up) and collecting Halloween decorations.
I've also decided that someone out there should start selling the Ultimate Bag of Halloween Candy. They would have to get the cooperation of all the candy companies, but think of how awesome this would sell! (keep in mind, some of these candies no one likes, but they are a Halloween tradition!)
You would have your standard 3 mini candy bars of all the classics:
Milky Way
3 Musketeers
Snickers
Butterfingers
Kit Kats
100 Grand
Hersheys
Reese Pnt Butter Cups
Reeses Pieces
Crunch Bar
Mr Goodbar, etc.
then a handful of the following:
M&Ms, all kinds
Skittles
Starbursts
Tootsie Pops and Tootsie Rolls
Dots
Sugar babies and a Sugar daddy just to rip your teeth out
Smarties
mini boxes of Nerds
mini Twizzlers- red
some Gobstoppers
Double Bubble
Sweet Tarts
Bit O Honey
those weird black and orange wrapped peanut flavored taffy things that your mom made you throw away because it came from "that house" down the street . . .
Am I missing anything??
We had a great Halloween Party at the church Friday night and a fabulous Mystery Dinner at friends Saturday night. The menu was full of things like Festering Sores, Moldy Scabs, Buzzard Brains and Monster Mush and we had no idea what we were ordering. Odessa and Ada somehow got the bread, jello dessert, brownie and punch on their first try- way to go kids! You get to order as many times as you like, but have to eat what you got first. SO MUCH FUN and we are totally doing it next year. Sunday took a turn for the worse as Odessa got a stomach bug and we have been staying in ever since.
Lining up for the costume contest, there was trick or treating in the halls, jack-o-lantern contest and games for the kids, dinner and cupcakes
Can you see Ada's shoes? They had ribbon ties to make them look like pointe shoes.
Odessa wore my wig, so I could not be Elphaba this year. lol. She was Pocahontas.
Odessa drew the picture she wanted on her pumpkin, Ada requested an upside down crazy face.
Stephen won the jack-o-lantern contest with his pumpkin on the left. The girls were really bummed we didn't all get ribbons! lol

Your pumpkins all look very cool! You guys must be carving experts.
I love the idea of ordering gross foods, not knowing what you'll get.
You seriously just named all of those candy bars! You are so funny!! The costumes look great and the pumpkins are very impressive. By the way, I miss you guys.
I believe this post officially makes you Queen of Halloween - the skills exhibited - candy listing and pumpkin carving - are truly paramount. We bow to you your highness!
That is quite a candy list. It made me realized we missed out on some this year, I guess I'll have to make the kids stay up later next year to get a better haul that I can rob later. :) Impressive pumpkins.
Cute costumes!!! That doesn't even look like Odessa!!! :) :)
