Halloween Hijinx
Here are some freaky eyeball sugar cookies I made for Halloween. In case you're wondering, the irises are Life Savers and the pupils are chocolate chips. Yummy + terrifying = perfect.
Being a fetus is no excuse for not wearing a costume. With that in mind, here is our little girl dressed up as Rogue from the X-Men. She got her first trick-or-treat candy from the generous staff at Spangles. Thanks, guys!
Here is a closer view of her costume.
Yep, we had a great time taking the baby out on her first Halloween outing. In the evening we went on something called the Haunted Haskell tour, which was a flashlight tour of the places on Haskell University's campus where ghosties and other specters have supposedly been seen. We didn't see the dead janitor or the red floating orb, but we did see a guy in a very convincing Teen Wolf costume. Oh, and there was also a guy wearing an Obama mask who charged toward us shouting "VOTE FOR ME NEXT TUESDAY!"
All in all, a ghoulish good time.

Thanks! Just imagine how excited I'll be about Halloween once the baby's on the outside! :D

Yeah, kids make you do crazy things.
I'm not sure I've actually worn a costume since I was in grade school (with the exception of the year we wore scarves and went as Christmas carolers -- still one of my all-time favorites!).
But last Halloween (Cooper's first), I decided we needed to have a family theme -- all three of us should wear costumes! And coordinating ones at that!
I'm not sure how long I can convince Cooper (and Alan) to keep that up...
