Kid. Candy Store.

In my recent experience... there is a definite reason that the saying "like a kid in a candy store." has been used for so many years. When you actually take a kid, preferably a young one, and put them in a candy store... the result is rather unique. Now, I think my kids are rather well behaved. Serenity is probably one of the few 1 yr old's that will stay in a corner for 5 whole minutes. But, when she saw all those bins of candy that were right at eye level for her, she lost her little mind!



She ran and ran, just amazed at the amount of candy in front of her... it was really cute, and then she figured out how to open them! We purchased about $5.00 worth of candy... Serenity probably ate $3.00 worth of candy while we were in there. That's my girl!

We also made Hayden's Jack-o-lantern. He drew it himself and I cut it out. I think it came out pretty well.


He insisted on fangs... which I think complement the evil eyes nicely. We fill them with glow sticks for safety. Not the kids safety mind you, we do it for my safety. I'm a little retarded when it comes to fire (reference 'Fire in backyard 2008). It has a cool affect anyway.


There is a good chance that I will put up all our Halloween decorations while cleaning the house and mowing the lawn. There's a better chance that I'll just play with the kids all day and have fun instead. Guess which one I'm rooting for!
