Better luck next year (or never again!)

TRICK or TREAT!

Meet Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee, and...green bug of some sort!

Whatever she is, she sure is cute!

TORTURE, this is TORTURE!

Do I feel bad? How can I? Do you see how cute she is???

She won't remember, right?!

Pounding the door down!

The Loot!

WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?? Really, like I am going to let my 3, 2, and 1 year olds eat all this?? No, of course not. I will give them all the kiddy, yuck candy and eat all the chocolate right out of their bags as soon as they go to sleep at night! Why?? Why, I ask??

Is it bedtime yet??

A job well done!!
