The Candy Police?

I am now interrupting the regularly scheduled post I planned to write to bring you some Halloween-themed ridiculousness that I just encountered online.

Picture it: Halloween night.  Adorable children are in their costumes, gleefully skipping from house to house saying, "Trick or Treat!" and filling their baskets with yummy candy. Except, when they say "Trick or Treat," they don't actually expect a trick.  Particularly not as nasty a "trick" as this one employed by a heartless woman in North Dakota.

That's right, folks, some wonderful lady decided to help kids celebrate Halloween by telling them they're fat.

A nasty trick, indeed.

Photos of the Week: Chocolate High

Wow.  It's been almost a week since I last posted - which, I believe, is a first in the history of this blog. And it's an event I hope will not be repeated. I have really missed writing!

I hope all of you who celebrated it had a happy, fun Easter..... including those of you who just enjoy it for the chocolate! In honor of all you chocolate lovers, here's our Photo of the Week:

This one cracked me up. I have no idea who gets the credit for it, as I discovered it like some of you may have, circulating around Facebook. But whoever it is, my hat's off to them for the comedic genius.

Of course, I can't resist including one more of our Pie, who loved the Easter festivities even if she felt a bit overwhelmed at certain moments, like this one:

"You said I could have this candy, right? Like right now, in the morning?"

She reminds me of a deer in headlights - she's not sure whether to trust that she can actually have the candy. LOL. Hope you had a fabulous day and there WILL be more to come this week on MLWP, so please stay tuned!

Trick or Treat...or Tramp?

It’s that time of year again, folks:  it’s almost Halloween.  I’ve always enjoyed this holiday, whether I was dressing up when I was younger, handing out candy to cute kids as I got older, or even going to grown-up Halloween parties with Heidi and our friends in more recent years.

But, as is true of so many things, having a kid to dress up for Halloween changes one’s perspective a bit.

Now that I have a little one to buy costumes for, I notice little kids’ costumes whenever I look at Halloween displays.  And frankly, all too often, I’m horrified at what’s out there.
