Halloween mind chatter

I have a lot of thoughts in my head today..... Last night I was making spooky spider cupcakes and as I labored away sticking 8 legs, two eyes and a nose on each hairy sprinkled spider I thought, "Wow, someday I will be able to make these for my kids to take to school and I'll be the cool mom that makes fun spider cupcakes." That is a good thought! Then this morning on my way to work some more thoughts materialized in my crazy head. A few of my friends have today off or at least half a day off to do fun Halloween activities with their kids. Something I will have to remember to allocate PTO for when the day comes. Then I started thinking about why I don't hand out candy to trick-or-treaters (besides the fact that our neighborhood doesn't have very many kids and there are only 4 houses on our block). It would be really cute to see all the kids dressed up and having fun, but on the other hand it may be really hard too. I do get to see some cuties dressed up for the holiday today. Liz will be bringing Braden into work. He is dressing as a dragon this year. Then later this afternoon I want to go and see Iree and Marlie. Iree is Bumblebee the Transformer and Marlie is a peapod. All three of them will be adorable I am sure. I need to take pictures!
