Here it is – some quick and dirty coverage of Halloween. Halloween poses a few problems for a decent blog post:
1) It is dark, meaning every. last. picture. is grainy and full of irreparable red eyes.
2) It is late, so the baby is scared and the middle child is tired (“Mama, I’m a sad little owl.”)
3) It is Monday morning, the house looks like a tornado hit it, I have to leave for school soon, and I desperately need a shower. Also, the cable box is not working so I cannot distract the children with Dinosaur Train. This means I have to explain why Rex-Goliath cannot have candy until after lunch about once every three minutes. Lunch is hours away. It seems like a random line to draw in the sand, but for some reason I have this belief that good mothers do not allow cookies and candy prior to lunch. But I am fine with coleslaw and spaghetti for breakfast. I can’t explain it either.
One last note – I feel bad that I somehow did not get a picture of Elizabeth as The Joker or her costume for Princess Pug as a flying pig. Things got a little chaotic as we were trying to get out the door.
