Darn Halloween Candy and a Cute Pumpkin

Seriously. Y'all know that I am no spring chicken so you'd think I'd know better than to buy candy for the neighborhoods ghouls, goblins, princesses, and superheroes early. Apparently, I have not learned this lesson.

I purchased 3 large bags of candy at the beginning of October. I have maybe half of one bag left. HALF of ONE bag. HALF. And Halloween is tonight. It's not looking good for trick-or-treaters. Not good at all.

I had one of these:

It's gone.


I had one of these:

It's gone.

I had one of these:

There's half a bag left. Almost half.

Ok, yes, other people did help me but not nearly as much as I'd like to say they did. Because, for the most part, I ate that darn candy ALL BY MYSELF.

Am I ashamed? Yes. No. Maybe. But probably not. What I am is in need of candy to hand out to the kiddos.

And next year? I am NOT buying the candy early.

I'm not.

I mean it.

Anyway, check this little cutie out:

And that's not all. The lovelies are never too old to dress up for Halloween!

Teacher daughter, DoodleBug, had Mimi make her a dress to wear to school. DoodleBug teaches 1st grade and her kiddos LOVED the dress:

Then there was Breezy and her good friend who dressed as silent film stars:

Here's a color shot so y'all can see the make-up;

Breezy and Remster won first place at the costume contest. DoodleBug won first place with her students. And Baby M won first place with all of us!

And then there's Birdie (Baby M's mommy) who is wearing a tshirt Mimi made a few years ago:

And in Nashville, Deanie and DrummerBoy or should I say, Rocky and Aridan?

Are y'all dressing up and how's the Halloween candy holding out?
