The joy of being a mother to BOYS.

At least my BFA in Theatre Arts didn't go completely to waste.

After last year's complete and utter costume cuteness, this year my kids are going as a vampire and a zombie.

Boys. What are you going to do.

When they were smaller we made cupcakes together. Now we make fake blood.

Ew. I just grossed myself out. Sorry.

Zombie vs. Vampire

Over the past few days, the debate at our house has been in a fight (for world domination? to the death?) who would win?

And AJ only got to wear one of his fangs. They went over his canine teeth (incisors?), and when we were trying to put them on, he said, "Momma, I don't have a tooth over there."

( Well, look at that. )

Sure enough, that one hadn't come back in after he lost it. So he only wore one.

His new nickname is "Fang."

P.S. I charged the boys two mini snickers bars apiece for taking them trick or treating. That's how I roll.
