Darn Halloween Candy and a Cute Pumpkin

Image result for halloween candySeriously. Y'all know that I am no spring chicken so you'd think I'd know better than to buy candy for the neighborhoods ghouls, goblins, princesses, and superheroes early. Apparently, I have not learned this lesson.

I purchased 3 large bags of candy at the beginning of October. I have maybe half of one bag left. HALF of ONE bag. HALF. And Halloween is tonight. It's not looking good for trick-or-treaters. Not good at all.

I had one of these:

It's gone.


I had one of these:

Nuggets Assortment

It's gone.

I had one of these:


There's half a bag left. Almost half.

Ok, yes, other people did help me but not nearly as much as I'd like to say they did. Because, for the most part, I ate that darn candy ALL BY MYSELF.

Am I ashamed? Yes. No. Maybe. But probably not. What I am is in need of candy to hand out to the kiddos.

And next year? I am NOT buying the candy early.

I'm not.

I mean it.

Anyway, check this little cutie out:



And that's not all. The lovelies are never too old to dress up for Halloween!

Teacher daughter, DoodleBug, had Mimi make her a dress to wear to school. DoodleBug teaches 1st grade and her kiddos LOVED the dress:



Then there was Breezy and her good friend who dressed as silent film stars:


Here's a color shot so y'all can see the make-up;


Breezy and Remster won first place at the costume contest. DoodleBug won first place with her students. And Baby M won first place with all of us!

And then there's Birdie (Baby M's mommy) who is wearing a tshirt Mimi made a few years ago:


And in Nashville, Deanie and DrummerBoy or should I say, Rocky and Aridan?



Are y'all dressing up and how's the Halloween candy holding out?

  2. Such great costumes, and the cutest pumpkin ever! It poured rain here, so I had very few trick or treaters. And now I have too much candy left!

  3. My daughters and grandchildren do Halloween although I don't but I am ok with that they all had a great time, Leo loved getting lollies and chocolates but also loved handing them out to those who came knocking at their door, he likes to give as much as he likes to get

  4. Ha! Loved seeing all the costumes!! We weren't home to hand out candy, and quit doing it several years ago anyway. Just as well, because we have the same problem you do....gremlins eating the candy before it is needed for Halloween! Ha!

    1. I wish I could blame it on gremlins. Haha! Glad y'all are back safely from your trip to Ohio and that you got to see so many people. Very sorry for the reason, though.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!
