Scary Beyond Words
I wanted something really scary for Dan's costume this year. Something so terrifying, that mothers everywhere would scream and tremble. Can you guess what I came up with?
For the true meaning of Halloween, click here for my article in today's Chicago Parent.
And happy Halloween!!

hahaha.. I love it. When you said three guesses, all I could think of is who died. The only person I came up with was Diana Ross. Was really hoping you didn't dress Danny in drag!
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know Diana Ross died!
DeleteMaybe next year's costume?
Eeek! Tell your teachers to keep that idea confined to Chicago! I barely got through the "wind day" yesterday. Snow days are much better!
ReplyDeleteI love snow days! Wind mucks up my hair too much.
DeleteDiana Ross died?
ReplyDeleteI know, right?
DeleteGreat idea Mar! Too funny.
ReplyDeleteHint: Use flameless candles in pumpkins...or flameless tea lights...same effect without waking up 2am panicked that you forgot to blow them out. I'll get you some for Christmas.
XOXO

I meant to buy some last year! Better hit the clearance aisle at CVS now!
DeleteWhen you first mentioned Almond Joys, I thought to myself "Almond Joys?? Eww...coconut. Peanut Butter cups are the way to go." Then sure enough I got to the end of the post - I think your husband and I could be friends!
ReplyDeleteAnd with the red hair???
DeleteI'd be toast. (;
I love my Almond Joys! It's the only candy bar that tastes like it used to IMO. PBC's taste weird now.
ReplyDeleteMy kids hated coconut and my hubby likes Kit Kats, so I am in the clear. I bought a giant bag just for me.
And I am appalled to say that I ate every single one of them. Add your 3-5 lbs. to me, too, Mar!
Here's to never having to say "want one?"
DeleteI'm only up 1 lb. So far, so good.
Awesome costume! Happy Halloween!!
ReplyDeleteUtterly terrifying!
ReplyDeleteYou have no idea.
DeleteI love your ingenuity with dumping the candy in the stroller and starting off "afresh" so to speak! I haven't had an Almond Joy in years, they sure are tasty indeed! We are giving out some of those Reese's peanut butter cups, but we have had NO tricker or treaters yet and its 8:30 p.m. our time. What will I do with all that candy?
ReplyDeleteLove the costume of a teacher on strike!
Hope you had a great day!
betty
I'm sending you my address now....
DeleteJust kidding. Like my tush needs THAT?
No trick or treaters?? I think we had 300!
What won't you do, to spend as little money as possible on a halloween costume?
ReplyDeleteEXACTLY!
DeleteWhich reminds me, I'd better wash that striking t-shirt and return it to my teacher friend.
hahah love it!!!
ReplyDeletehappy halloween!
Thanks,Annmarie!
DeleteGreat Costume!
ReplyDeleteI hope Joe has finally figured out what Halloween is all about!
I sent him to work. No time for chatting this year!
DeleteThat costume was awesome!!! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteThanks, hi-d!
DeleteFunny article...I can just picture the scene and I am drooling over all of that candy now...
ReplyDeleteOh, I did far more than drool....
