Bite me, Hurricane Sandy.
It has been raining for the last 7 days and I am starting to wonder if the sun has packed up and moved to another Universe.
I am considering buying myself one of those sun lamp thingies...or a tanning booth.
*Note to self. When your child insists on being a clown, do not buy the $2.99 makeup. Invest in some higher quality paint to do your magic or it will turn out like this.
*Do not buy huge clown shoes because your child will almost fall down the stairs at school and then refuse to wear them trick or treating.
*Do not buy a huge clown bow tie because your child will decide that he doesn't like it and will refuse to wear it.
*Do not buy a clown nose because he wont wear that either.
*Walking on a cold night when it is rainy, is never fun. Ever.
*Make a run for it when your dog pukes on some one's front lawn. The rain will wash it away anyways.
*Always remember pooper scooper bags. We didn't.
*If you buy your army dude kid a cheap gun to go with his costume, be prepared to be shot at approximately 83979864667980347 times.
*Warn your other children that they will be shot at 3879534876748306 times to prevent any fistfights.
*Consider allowing your four year old daughter to have permanent eye makeup. Nothing will ever make her happier.
*Prepare to tell your happy kitty cat daughter how beautiful she looks 658342756 times as she poses in front of you.
*As busy as the evening gets, make sure you go visit the great grandparents. The smiles make it all worth it.
*Don't get sad because it is the first Halloween that your kids Papa will not be around to see their costumes and eat their candy.
OK, be sad.
*Do not tell your army dude kid that he looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. He wont be impressed.
*Don't buy your army dude kid an army helmet and goggles because he will refuse to wear them.
*Remember that you're kids aren't young for long.
*And enjoy this time before they think it is "dumb".

Well, at least it's a Halloween with a story :-) Sorry for the sadness that shared the day too.
As for thinking trick or treating is dumb...I was surprised with all the teenagers we had show up!
There costumes are great! Just think of the memories you have from this Halloween now (-:
ha - that was hilarious! (aside from the weather)
You're so brave to allow a clown in your house. :)
Super cute costumes!
Wonderful photos ~ and adorable 'trick or treaters' ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
Sorry you're dealing with Sandy. Kids costumes are great! This will be a Halloween you won't soon forget. Hang in there.
Sorry for the weather and the first Halloween without Papa (hugs). The pics are great and made me smile.
Sorry it wasn't the best Halloween. There's always next year! And at least you've learned a few things this year!
OK … so the clown costume was a big fail but OH MY GOODNESS I love the little Princess as a puppy!!! Adorable mask! Great eyelashes! Perfection!! Glad you had such a tough guy to escort you around though!
You do such a good job expressing your feelings and what happened without being long and boring. You do a great job on your blog!
Haha! Love it. Keep it real and keep safe in the storm!
Okay clowns freak me out so yeah...
Love K's eyelashes - so cute!
Sorry about the rain, but at least it is not snow...?
Totally taking note. So far, we haven't bought a single costume and I'm super thankful for that!
