Halloween has come and gone...

I am not a fan of Halloween.  I know, I know it is fun to dress up and my kids love the candy (as I try to slowly remove it from the house so I won't eat it) but I don't like to be scared.  I hate scary movies, haunted houses etc...  Just not my thing.  So imagine my good humor when my sweet (sweet) children told me what they wanted to be for Halloween.  My little girl with her pretty bows and long, curly hair wanted to be a black ninja (as opposed to white or red) and my preppy little boy wanted to be a phantom with a scythe.  And because it was Halloween and I am the best mom ever (not) and I did not want the fight....I gave in.  So here it is, the picture of my sweet sweet children in which you cannot see their faces because of the costumes.  Happy belated Halloween. And welcome Thanksgiving!

A few short updates...

My parents are gone (finally) and I survived the weekend (sort of). Just a few little tidbits of things I have been watching and trying to keep up with.

Any episode of the Amazing Race in which no one gets eliminated seems like a waste of time to me. Last night Tina (scary eyebrow lady) and Ken came in last but of course it was a non-elimination leg. So we have to wait until next week to see who gets booted. By the way the struggles that Ken and Tina are having trying to "fix" their relationship can be summed up in one word: Tina! She is mean, demoralizing, bitchy and condescending. I do not condone cheating (not at all) but poor Ken, maybe he did need someone to be a little sweet to him at some point. He cried at the end of the show and she just sat there. Evil!!


If you are not currently watching the show Cheerleaders on CMT; you must check it out. The show follows the making of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Team for this year. Saturday night a girl was let go for her risque pictures on MySpace. You know anything you post on the Internet will come back and bite you in the ass (says the woman with a blog).

As for Halloween: my children were hilarious. Both had fun and received plenty of candy. I have actually tried to get them to eat it because the longer it stays in the house, the worse it is for me and my waistline. Here is Wonder Woman and Bobo Fett (Star Wars guy) from Friday night. So much fun.


Don't forget to vote tomorrow (I have already)! Not telling who I voted for but I will say it was a surprise even to me. Later taters.
