At work, I probably could have used another day home. I feel like a wrung out washrag! I honestly don’t believe I have a drop of moisture in my body!
Planning on watching Castlevania 2 tonight have the little kiddies are done. I’m going to tell Spawn not to give out the Twizzlers! Those are mine!!!!
Here. Have some Richard. i’m sure he’ll generate SOME KIND of moisture in my body!
zee's muse 
I love Twizzlers!!! But the cherry or strawberry kind. I tried their experimental sweet/sour combo and was bleuch, yucky… well if anything could bring back some moisture EVERYWHERE it would be this lovely pics of Richard!! Made my day! Thank you. Hope you are on the road to recovery!
Cherry Twizzlers are my absolute favorite. I’d swap all of my candy for Twizzlers. Actually, I have! LOL! After the siblings (3) went to bed, I’d swap out of their buckets. I don’t think they ever realized it!
All right!!! The nieces gave me all their Twizzlers mini packs last year. They are chocaholics so they like MMs, KitKat, and Klondite bars (I like those too) I like the long Twizzlers though and can eat a whole package in 2 sittings. Yummy!! Do you dress up for school? The sister-in law sent me pics this morning of the 2 twins dressed up-1 was Egyptian Princess 1 was a black cat. I think this year the family is going as Star War Stormtroopers- Minauturs or some kind of name like that.
Our kids haven’t dressed up. Some of us have, within the confines of the dress code. When I get home, I’ll have Spawn take pictures.
I’m wearing black tunic, black candy corn jeggings, an orange sequined Minnie Mouse bow and flashing (sometimes) pumpkin earrings.
Definitely have Spawn take a pic and post it here. Do you guys give out hodge podge of candy? I usually go trick or treating w the brother and clan but today I feel light headed and congested so gonna go home and soothe the doggies, they don’t like Halloween with the kids traipsing out front. My neighbors are giving out for the first time this year. She decorated her door. The boy and roommate who live next door work odd hours so I know they won’t give out either.
I will.
We will have trick or treaters from 6-8. Literally, at 8 PM, it will STOP! We have a hodgepodge of about 7 bags of candy. Last year, I was worried we’d run out and I sent Spawn out for 2 more bags and we didn’t need them. So I ate them. I can’t do that this year!
What is Spawn’s fav? Do you have to fight him for the Twizzlers? Castlevania will be perfect for viewing tonight! Curious what you think!!! I finished the last 4 episodes last night.
You know, Spawn has NEVER been a sweet eater. I never had a problem with him eating a lot of anything sugary. When he did trick or treating, he’d eat one or two things after dinner for 2 or 3 days and then he’d hand his bucket to me.
The first year he REALLY went trick or treating (just before he turned 2) he dressed as a masked cowboy and had his stick horse. We had gone to about a dozen houses, and when we got to (his) last house, he rang the doorbell and said – Trick R Treat. At that point, he realized they had the television on and his FAVORITE show – Wheel of Fortune – was on. He handed the lady his bucket and stick horse, walked in and sat down in front of the television.
I did not have a happy Spawn when I picked him up and carried him out. I think we got home in time to watch the final spin. He cried all the way home.
My brother and sister and I didn’t go trick or treating until we were like 4 or 5-my mom didn’t really understand the hullaballoo about it. She always gave out candy. My sister and I dressed up as Charlies Angels several Halloweens b/c that was the popular show when we were growing up. My brother always was a Marvel Comics dude. We got to go alone most of the time (don’t know if that is kosher these days just saying) and we would eat a little candy like Spawn did then hoard it for the rest of the year. I think the twins get to eat in increments or they would devour the candy bars in a few days. My sister in law is very creative and really goes all out with the costumes. I was Princess Leia 2 years ago (store bought costume) and Groot from Guardian of the Galaxy last year. The theme this year is that Star Wars stormtroopers name starts with a M. I think they all like to go as a family and chat with the neighbors/kids. They don’t live in a terribly big neighborhood and so it takes about 1 hour to 1.5 hours if they idle. Last year it was really pleasant out and 2016 Leia got cold in her costume even with tights on (me).
For several years, my mom sewed Spawn’s Halloween costumes. He was Alladin 2 years in a row and one year he was Raggedy Andy – his bestie friend was Raggedy Ann. They found each other on Facebook last year and have chatted up a storm! She’s married with 4 children. I can’t believe it!
That’s so great. That would be my only exception to FB where you can reconnect with long lost friends or childhood buddies…. so wonderful for Spawn and her! Long lost loves at least for me not so much!!
Ah, they were just toddler playmates! Her mom and I worked together and were pregnant together. Her mom and I were REALLY good friends. I’ve connected up with her as well.
My bestie from childhood I found! That’s been neat. We don’t talk to much, but when we do, it’s pretty non-stop – just like when we were younger!!! LOL!
Hahaha except for the Twizzlers!!
I’ve always liked the tart kind of candy, but my absolute favorite has always been black licorice and black jelly beans. My hubs says black licorice is the liver of candy, but he will buy it when he sees it because it isn’t very easy to find. As a kid, no one ever gave it out on Halloween either.
