Halloween

I’m not sure why, but Halloween tends to be cursed for us. First, I missed the Bushey’s really awesome pumpkin carving party because I put down on my calendar that it was on Saturday, when the party was Friday. I’m so bummed! Then tonight, Halloween night, I go and buy a bunch of candy for all the trick or treaters and I’ve had three kids all night. Not three batches of kids. Three kids. This has happened to us the past 4 years! What’s wrong with us? Now I’m sitting here in a fairy costume and a bag of candy (which I’m trying not to eat). Such a dork. :)
