Post Halloween Confessions

1. I have never done pumpkin patches before. I did NOT realize they could sell out of pumpkins and close early?! I get DD all dressed yesterday and drive over to the pumpkin patch near my house ... and it was gone! Panic set in. I drove to three grocery stores looking for pumpkins to buy. Wound up with $30 of pumpkin-alike squash and guards when Tracy (richards love, richards wife? don't remember her exact SN anymore) saved the day and sent me to a (still intact) pumpkin patch. New Mommy Fail. Next year, I'll know better. Next year, I resolve to go to a pumpkin patch on time AND carve my first pumpkin!

 

2. Non-Halloween related --- Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson - I love them both. I'm glad Kim lost rocks-for-brains. I think the cheesy way Jessica announced her pregnancy is adorable, and I'm so happy for her!

Ha! I love that JS announcement. Everyone knew she wa KU- she's been wearing form-fitting clothes. I'm glad it was a clever thing rather than a money thing.

My confession: I have tons of homework, and last night I sat jacking around on the computer waiting for the ToT'ers that never came. My doorbell rang once for three kids.

In all fairness, we intentionally picked a pretty isolated lot- the houses on either side are vacant and there's nothing across the street. And two weeks ago a kid totally his car on the light pole in front of my house (fell asleep) so the light pole is gone. BUT STILL- I had to rely on my FB feed to see cute costumes. :P

My confession: While leaving my parking garage, the parking attendants had a bucket of candy for people to choose from and I was way too excited about it.  I felt like a little kid again looking around for just the right kind (fun size twix all the way) and it was honestly the best part of my day.

I had a snickers bar for breakfast. And a peanut butter cup for my early morning snack.

We had so many TOTers I ran out of candy early and made DH give up his stash. He's still bitter about it this morning.

In the years to come, I'm considering a little tale to tell DS about why there isn't much candy left for him in the morning after Halloween (either b/c Mom & Dad eat it or b/c we don't want gagwads of candy tempting him)...

Santa comes on Halloween night to check on the boys & girls. While he's here, he grabs some candy to take home to the elves to help keep them energized while they finish up making toys.

We've been to a pumpkin patch every year but never bought and carved a pumpkin till this year.  Turns out, I did it way too early (2 wks ago)  The inside of our carved pumpkin is totally black and his face started totally caving in last week.  He looks like an old man jack o lantern!

 Ive lost track of how much of ds's candy I've eaten already.

Im so out of the loop (as in, I learn all of my celeb gossip from you all!), I didn't know JS was pregnant and I like the way she announced it.  I especially like that her mummy costume is sequined!

We didn't dress the kids up or trick or treat.  We carved pumpkins and took their pics in the Halloween pajamas MIL sent, but that was the extent of it.  DS is a major scaredy-cat lately and I knew he'd flip if we took him out and he saw "scary" costumes, so it seemed like a waste of money to get costumes this year.  I didn't feel guilty at all.

Ooh, I love this idea!  We were thinking of taking most of it to ds's dentist, who pays kids $1 per lb of candy, then ships the candy to troops overseas.  Since DS doesn't understand yet about troops overseas, maybe we'll institute a version of your tale about santas elves...

 But you might check with some local pedi dentists to see inf they do this too, if you dont want to throw it away (or eat it all yourselves!).  I saw on the news this a.m. That there's a dentist in Austin that does this but can't remember the name.  If you google "cash for candy Austin" I'm sure you'll find plenty.

We ran into another Dorothy whilst t-or-ting last night...a girl who was maybe 10? In the exact same dress as DD. The older girl's friends said, "look, here comes another Dorothy!" and the older Dorothy looked, crossed her arms, stuck out her hip, shook her hair, and said, "Ugh. She's wearing MY dress." And then proceeded to walk off, shooting dirty looks at my TWO-YEAR-OLD the whole time.

My confession is that I called a 10-yr-old girl a b!tch under my breath.

Ugh! What a beeotch. Not Halloween related, but if it makes you feel better, I did that a few weeks ago at Shady Grove. In the grassy area where there is a cow there were some kids playing. M went over to look at the cow and walked up to a girl that had to be 8 or 9. M smiled and wove hi. The brat rolled her eyes at M, crossed her arms, huffed "I don't talk to babies" and gave M the stink eye.  WTF?

WTF for real. I bet it was the same girl.

I think it's really weird when parents hold out a bag for candy of their own while trick or treating with their kids. You're an adult - go buy some at the store (or pick off your kids' stash like a normal person) and let me save mine for the little kids.

Yes. Next year, I vow to buy a bag of a really gross candy (Bit O'Honey, I'm looking at you) just for the adults.
