The Spooky Rupes on Haunted Hilltop Drive

So at about 10:30 I sent Jason and the girls down to the Health Clinic for impromptu H1N1 vaccs.  I noticed they were offering them to high risk groups, of which all three of them are, and our doctors keep telling us "we're supposed to get them in" and "check back in a couple of weeks."  Well, there was nothing more scary on Halloween yesterday than a six hour wait for some nose spray.  We had no idea it would be six hours but the girls were troopers and I feel a little bit better now that Mr. Compromised Immune System got his swine shield.  The girls need to go back in a month for a booster.....better come prepared with a sack breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

All was soon forgotten, or at least made into a distant memory when they arrived home just in time to slip into a costume and get ready to beg our neighbors for free candy.

I decided on being a Romantic Era Vampire.  I don't know what that means other than crazy hair, crazy makeup and a lot of pearls and jewels.  Jason was a guy who took a hatchet to the forehead.  Madeleine was a broken doll and Lily was a good old-fashioned witch! 

We had the usual crowd:  A zombie and her mom, a devil, a pirate, a scarecrow, a tinman and their guardians, a bolt of lightening and his date, and the usual Halloween fare:  chili, rice, cornbread.  It was a night were fun took over and flu shots were soon forgotten.

I vant to suck your blood!

The cowardly lion isn't too cowardly....

getting so close to that totally realistic looking lightening bolt.

Hey little dolly....
