Obama. I'm going to spend the evening going around and stopping kids and imposing a candy tax. I'll take half their candy in taxes and distribute it to others that were to lazy to go trick or treating while keeping a good portion of it for myself.

Or I could be George Bush and wage a war for candy on the kids so I can take their candy and give it to my friends in order for them to be able to enrich their own candy holdings.

The hubby and I are going as McCain and Palin. He's going to keep a jaw-breaker in his left cheek all evening and I'm going to look hot, talk dumb, and shoot at anything that comes runnin' out lookin' like a moose. Just kidding. I'm playing mommy taxi tonight…in my awesome new witch hat. I think I'll drag out the black combat boots, too. They go great with fish nets.

Well if things continue on their current path, for Halloween I'm going to be in labor. I hope not. I don't want to ruin the night for my other kids. Hope this little dude waits until tomorrow. Even though it would've made my Aunt Hazel so proud for me to have this baby on Halloween, especially if he was born with a caul.

There was a set of six people on campus all dressed as various Tetris pieces! They'd go about 20 feet, stop, and put themselves together to make the 4 row, then move another 20 feet, and do it again. Priceless.
