Whoops, I had this post saved as a "Draft," and then I never published it.  Probably because I just started National Novel Writing Month today, and that’s just crazy.  Why do I do this to myself every year?

Oh yeah, because I like it, and because I’d be writing anyway.  Why not get the neat little certificate?

We were busy and traveling this year, so we didn’t do much of anything Halloween related, but I thought I would report that our Gene Simmons Pumpkin from last year won an award!   You can see it displayed over at Extreme Pumpkins.com.  Too funny!

In "my heart is made of stone" news, I thought I would distract you with photos of Maddie as the Littlest Ballerina, which made even me consider for one moment, the possibility of having children:

Of course, that was before I saw this:

I actually think it would be funny to compile a whole website of kids crying in their costumes.  Because you know they’re all doing it, right?  Before the fun of trick or treating really sets in, kids are basically ALWAYS in some kind of costume.  Hilarious!
