Happy Halloween!

I finished the kids’ costumes yesterday and am stunned by how well the turned out!  Glow-in-the-Dark paint is amazing!
 
I had microwaved popcorn and mini-Oreos for breakfast.  My kids had gummy Life Savers, popcorn, DumDum suckers, and fruit snacks (don’t be fooled by the fruit snacks -they’re still nothing but total crap.) 
 
Lunch will be whatever [...]
