About 10 years ago, a new subdivision went in. The houses are so close together you can hear your neighbors blowing their nose or flushing toilets. I wouldn't want to live over there. But it's a great place to go trick or treating... the kids run in packs from door to door. The last time I bought candy was three years ago here, and we had maybe five kids knock all night. So I stopped buying candy and don't turn the porch light on.<br /><br />The costumes look great and it's a really good photo. You ought to frame it.<br /><br />And I work with kids. I can tell you that Charlotte's pumpkin is amazingly creative and looks wonderful!!!!Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-6696539152987312162013-11-02T10:18:21.710-05:002013-11-02T10:18:21.710-05:00Oh yes--cold wet and miserable are good reasons fo...Oh yes--cold wet and miserable are good reasons for indoor trick or treating, but this year it was GORGEOUS out. I always feel like we can't waste those days indoors if we have an excuse to be outside.

I've seen several bloggers over the last few years (particularly from the northern States that have a similar climate to ours) talk about bringing their kids to the mall so that can trick-or-treat without snowsuits. Of course, this year that wouldn't have been an issue, but I think for those times when it's cold, wet, and miserable, it presents an appealing option for kids and parents alike.tammihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03803890115567631062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-29156934408536022212013-11-01T22:06:55.848-05:002013-11-01T22:06:55.848-05:00Funny... in the US when someone boosts a car they&...Funny... in the US when someone boosts a car they're stealing it.<br /><br />Hope you enjoyed the wine and the whine... and that life is going along swimmingly.<br /><br />You hardly blog anymore, you know.Amihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08353667980806676067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-37247014514107593162013-10-13T15:13:55.253-05:002013-10-13T15:13:55.253-05:00I think pretty much the goal of all advertising is...I think pretty much the goal of all advertising is to make us discontent and insecure, to sell us on the idea we and our lives aren't good enough without this, that, and the other thing. The implication is always that our lives are really not all they <i>could</i> be.

Having spent so much time in ERs lately my respect for nurses, aides, orderlies, housekeeping et al has increased from abundant to infinite. <br /><br />Also, feel free to tell me gross things. Combine motherhood with homesteading and I don't think there's much that can shake me from a pure-disgust standpoint. I still wretch from picking up poop, but it doesn't phase me that I do. :)Andria Crowjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600604426957527711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-14351156425178529172013-06-24T11:16:37.797-05:002013-06-24T11:16:37.797-05:00While I didn't do it personally, that is total...While I didn't do it personally, that is totally a crow trick. :D Enjoy!Andria Crowjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05600604426957527711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19190622.post-58000760008173143742013-06-24T11:15:26.972-05:002013-06-24T11:15:26.972-05:00Oh my gosh!
