BOO!!!

Our Halloween Checklist

* decide on a costume and then change your mind about 10 times (oh, wait, that was me this year).............CHECK

* eat Booberry cereal for snack several days the week of Halloween (and argue about whether the marshmellows are shaped like monsters or ghosts)........CHECK

* take a trip to the pumpkin patch so mommy can constantly run after you with her camera and yell at you to stop having fun, look at me and smile.............CHECK

* scrape one handful of pumpkin guts out of the pumpkin and declare it too gross to help any more............CHECK

* paint milk jugs to look like ghosts and put about five times too much paint so the paint drips make the ghosts look like he's crying so mommy will have to pain-stakingly wipe the smears with a wet wipe (yeah...that was actually fun)..........CHECK

* consistently confuse Halloween with Christmas and ask me when I'm going to hang the stockings............CHECK

* Get hyper-spastic the night before Halloween in anticipation of all the candy your going to get not even thinking that you have a mean mommy who will only let you have one piece a week (sometimes two if you're lucky) so that the giant group candy bucket is still half full from last year's Halloween candy............CHECK

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the checklist. Ours would look very similar, except I would have to add:

-throw yourself on the kitchen floor and cry real tears when you mess up drawing what you want to carve on your pumpkin. CHECK.

Happy Halloween! Love the pics, too!
