Happy Halloween




Why don't we just call it what it is: begging! (Cliff Huxtable in The Cosby Show).

I love that quote about Halloween from Quote, Unquote Vol. 4. I mean, who really needs a bag full of candy? But it is fun to go around and "beg" for it! Tonight the girls got dressed up again and went around the neighborhood. After they had enough of that, we came back home and they are enjoying handing out handfuls of candy to the other goblins! Eliza and Libby ended up with a lot of good candy; I am especially enjoying the Nerds, Peanut Butter Cups and Twix.

Brian is so excited for tonight because it's the Suns' season opener game. I guess it's the "cable debut." He can't wait to watch it.

Tomorrow is November 1st, so that means Christmas music will start resonating around here, much to Brian's dismay! But I LOVE it. I started my Christmas gift list so we can plan what we will be getting for everyone this year. I love that planning!

Last night I made a chart for Eliza's quest to earn a bike. Well, today she made me a chart, numbered one to ten. She said I need to be nice and when I get it all filled up with stickers, she will give me a Tootsie Roll, Smarties and a back rub. I already have two stickers. Lucky me. :)
