Happy Halloween

I'm going completely crazy now that baseball is over.  If I watch one more re-run of Friends or The Big Bang Theory I'm going to stab someone.

I made cupcakes last night because it was the Halloween Funfetti mix so naturally I couldn't just leave the box in the pantry.  Now I have 24 cupcakes, 1/2 a birthday cake and a huge bowl of Halloween candy in my house.  I'm sure this is a good idea.

I cannot wait to put Robot in his Halloween costume tonight.  I'm sure it will last all of 10 seconds.

I walked the dog around the block last night.  That was it.  The high winds {thanks to Sandy} and the 30 degree temperature did me in.  I really just wanted to see how Robot did in his pinch collar.  It looks like a Chinese torture device but it was a miracle worker...he did not pull my arm out of the socket at all.  It didn't seem to hurt him, but he kept shaking his head like, "What the hell is this thing and how do I get it off?"

No BodyWorks + Abs tonight.  Gotta stay home and pass out candy to the 12 kids that come trick or treating.  And I have to drink pumpkin beer because it's a tradition.  That I'm just starting this year.

Speaking of pumpkin beer, I absolutely love it.  My favorites are Thirsty Dog Pumpkin Ale, Blue Moon Harvest Pumpkin Ale and ShockTop Pumpkin Wheat.  Blue Moon has a Caramel Apple Spiced Ale that both intrigues me and scares me to death.  I know I have to try it.

Bath & Body Works Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin.  You need this in your life...at least until the end of November.

We carved our pumpkin last night.  Well, I drew the face on the pumpkin with a Sharpie and D did the actual carving.  I roasted the pumpkin seeds {there were like 10 seeds in this pumpkin - very disappointing}.  JD popped in for five minutes to roll her eyes at us.  Robot swiped a piece of carved out pumpkin and ate it.  At least it's healthy.

Our actual pumpkin.  Pretty cool, eh?
