All Hallow's Eve

It's Halloween and I've had a lovely Saturday so far; the sun is already low in the sky and soon the littlest trick or treaters will be here! I'm looking forward to greeting all the little ghosts and goblins, but sort of sad that my own son won't be among them. Since last year when he was 11, he's decided he's TOO OLD to go trick or treating.

I'm reminiscing about his costume 2 years ago, which was a great idea of his friend Nicholas from something he'd seen on YouTube. Nick's mom and I brainstormed and came up with a way to attach light sticks to sweat pants. It's tricky because you can't snap the sticks and make them glow until you're just ready to use them!

It was also real tricky figuring out how to get the heads to work.

The results in the dark were SPOOKtacular!

Oh man, I miss those days already!

Since I'm doing NaNoWriMo, once again this year I associate Halloween as "the day before you get to start writing." Many writers begin their novels at 12:01 a.m. on November 1.

I don't.

I wish you all a fun-filled Halloween celebration -- and don't forget to "Fall Back!"
