Trick or Treat?

Brr... I'm still warming up from being outside for an hour trick-or-treating with the kids. It was my first time trick-or-treating ever. Watching my little dinosaur wagging her little tail on her huge derriere running toward people's doors is just hilarious.

This layout wraps up a week of Halloween projects. When it was announced that Memory Makers was shutting down, I was truly bummed. I guess I will forever be just a runner-up to the last Masters contest. This layout was published in the last issue of Memory Makers magazine. I still see the issue on the stands every time I go to Archiver's, and I'm reminded of this loss to the scrapping industry and to me.

I hope you all had a great Halloween! My kids will be enjoying the fruits of their "labor" for the months to come. Second Child handed me her trick-or-treat sack (courtesy of Macy's, lol) and said to me: "妈妈, 你拿着. 太重了!" (Mama, you hold it. Too heavy!) HI-LA-RIOUS!!

ADORABLE & AMAZING LO. I ♥ all those circles! BTW... I have that issue. :-)

I had to go trick-or-treating 1 year... when Bryn was 3 or 4. Bob had to leave town b/c his dad was in the hospital, so my sister came over to hand out candy while I took Bryn around the neighborhood. Did I mention it was raining, too? Oh, & then 1/2-way through the route, Bryn got a blister on her foot from these silly shoes she was wearing & it was bleeding. So.... I had to carry her & the umbrella. Suffice it to say, we didn't do the whole neighborhood. :-)

Hope you had a FUN night! :-)
