I don't even think we had 20 last year. <BR/><BR/>I've decided recently that my goal is to be the house where no one wants to go. I want to be the crotchety old lady that everyone is afraid of.

Halloween is not my favorite holiday, but I guess that's partly why we're so lucky to have so much to choose from, huh?

My street has just the wrong number of kids: too many to give it up, not enough to make it interesting. I think I'm going to my yoga class this year. At least it will be better for my waistline than leftover candy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
