Halloween Recap

Good morning!  Who's tired from a night full of canvassing neighborhoods with adorable costumed kids in tow?  I know I am.

But it's worth it for the glee on little faces as they yell "trick-or-treat!" and the joy in their steps as they carry plastic orange pumpkin buckets full of candy. Anna (aka Ord the dragon) had a blast trick-or-treating with her friends Jacobi (aka Curious George) and Izzy B (aka The Princess of Color and Everything).

"Hurry up so I can have my candy!"

Happy Halloween!

Just wanted to wish everyone a SAFE and FUN Halloween!  Enjoy trick-or-treating with your kiddos! (And perhaps enjoy some of their candy yourself....did I say that?!)

If you have great Halloween costume pics of your kids that you'd like to show off on the blog, please send them to us at mylifewithpie@gmail.com. We'll post our Annapie pics soon too. Have a great time!

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.
