The shortest Halloween of my life

I was totally unprepared for Halloween this year. I waited until the day before Halloween to buy candy at the commissary (out of fear that I would eat it all before trick-or-treat time), and when I got to the Halloween aisle, it had been turned into a CHRISTMAS aisle!?! Seriously???

Luckily there were a few boxes in various areas of the store that still had some good candy left in them. We got eight bags and wondered how many Three Musketeers we would be left with. It looked like SO MUCH CANDY.

But y'all? We ran out of candy within 20 minutes. TWENTY MINUTES. We started giving out mini bags of popcorn and some lemonade drink mixes. We started looking REALLY stingy towards the end when we were giving out one piece of candy per trick-or-treater. But these kids came in groups of at least 15. We knew the end was near...

We hung a sign on our door and turned out the lights and no one rang our doorbell after that (surprisingly). It was a very interesting night and next year I will be sure to buy a LOT more candy so I don't have to hear some kid say, "Popcorn? Really, mister?"

And now, some cute pictures of our little Auburn Tiger.

Thanks for the costume, Mama!

This blanket was HANDMADE by my dear friend Samantha for Sam's birthday. Isn't it gorgeous??

Happy Halloween!
