Last year’s Halloween theme was go-go-go until you drop. Seriously. My brothers were taken by the state on September 18th, 2009, and for the next eight or so weeks my mom and I were busy running to see each of them every weekend. We drove 100 miles roundtrip on Saturday to see my fourteen year old brother, and about the same on Sunday to see my eleven year old brother. And then I was squeezing in work and fall and Halloween things in between. So by the time Halloween itself had rolled around, I had taken the kids Trick or Treating twice, and we had gone to an awesome Halloween party that Dan’s aunt throws every year.
Here’s my self-made vampire kitty look, brought to you by a lack of time and imagination:
Look closely and you’ll be able to see the exhaustion. ;)
I submitted this photo to Jack’s Quest, which is a promotion being held by HalloweenAdventure.com. Basically, “Jack” is on the lookout for the best adventures from last Halloween! You can upload photos and videos, and of course tell stories about what makes your last Halloween so very awesome, and so worthy of winning the big prize at Halloween Adventure!
And hey, why not vote for me while you’re at it? Kidding, of course. There are some great adventures from last Halloween, but I know mine isn’t one of them! 
P.S. Don’t forget to get ready for Halloween! Buy Halloween Costumes Online or in a Halloween Store Near You
P.P.S. Alyssa is being a pink unicorn (thank you Target) and Ryan is being Wow Wow Wubbzy (thank you eBay!).
Are you getting a costume for Leah?
@John: I still have her witch costume from last year!
Alyssa and Ryan are going to look so cute! And I have to ask about your cat ears – where did you track them down? I’m having the worst time finding some that don’t make me look like an extra from the Muppets ;^_^
