Happy almost Halloween!

I enjoy Halloween. Fun costumes, lots of candy...what's not to like? I feel like this Halloween has been a special expanded edition. I went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party a few weeks ago, so I got a good dose of fun there (and lots of free candy and cute kids in costume). Then we had our little Halloween Hive, which was super cute. At work, we are having our cast decorate Halloween bags to fill with candy, so I made one to put up also. It's the "Most Scary Halloween Bag Ever," and I cut out pictures of Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson's mug shot, Tom Cruise jumping on a couch, bald Britney Spears with an umbrella, Paris Hilton, and a few others to put on my bag. Pretty scary, huh?
Next weekend is my annual Halloween party that I go to. This year's theme is British, so my friends and I are going as the Spice Girls. The best parts of our group are that as Scary Spice, Bethany gets to go in black face, and that our Sporty Spice is my friend Clint, who will wear his beard and possibly a cut-off shirt to reveal his hairy chest. It will be great, I'm sure. I'll post pics afterward!
Also next weekend, I get to see the New Kids On The Block in Tampa!!! Hooray!!!!

I babysat my nephews last night while my bro and sis-in-law were at a wedding. I don't need to tell you guys this, but babies are exhausting! Blake went to sleep fine, but Colby (4.5 months now) was wide awake and not interested in going to sleep. Had a few bouts of screaming, but I covered all the bases (diaper change, hunger, gas) and finally got him to sleep. Just a few hours of that was plenty. I don't know how you guys do it!!! I guess it all pays off when you get to see them smile and laugh and watch them grow up. This is a recent pic of Colby and Blake all decked out in their Halloween garb...
