you are the perfect Penelope Pitstop! I us...Jody, <br /> you are the perfect Penelope Pitstop! I used to love that show. You guys look so cute and Cy and the girls too.<br /><br />I have to totally agree about Halloween. It's gotten too much! Festivals at school, parties both weekends and kids are sick of their costumes before they even get to Trick-or Treat! I also get tired of so much candy and it's impossible to take it away once they are older. My kids basically eat candy 24/7 for a week. Of course they are totally messed up too.<br /><br />And while I'm on it, those sleazy girl costumes are my pet peeve. Even the women's costumes are sexed up. Everything is ,"sexy doctor," or ," sexy nun." What happened to regular costumes? It makes me ill. If I had a daughter I'd never let her go out like that.<br /><br />Sorry for the rant. Love that you enjoy life and are the last to leave the dance floor! You've got your priorities right!<br />xo<br />KImkim at northerncalstyle.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12710545630442890027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-30289876428449539632012-11-05T16:43:19.588-08:002012-11-05T16:43:19.588-08:00All the way from Ohope Beach in the Bay of Plenty ...All the way from Ohope Beach in the Bay of Plenty with the pav-laden accent to prove it..About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-60635287851257775692012-11-05T16:42:12.157-08:002012-11-05T16:42:12.157-08:00And somehow it works!And somehow it works!About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-13116378899479578402012-11-05T16:41:45.425-08:002012-11-05T16:41:45.425-08:00Linda, in New Zealand we only had the one channel ...Linda, in New Zealand we only had the one channel and it was most of the crud from the US and Britain but we watched it anyway...About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-50524709232635128392012-11-05T16:40:37.914-08:002012-11-05T16:40:37.914-08:00In end I didn't make the trick or treating in ...In end I didn't make the trick or treating in the evening, I was so exhausted by the day!About Last Weekendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04716571630418078937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-52093820787645807842012-11-05T16:37:41.029-08:002012-11-05T16:37:41.029-08:00i love it and hate it at the same time. so freakin...i love it and hate it at the same time. so freaking tiring... by the end of it, i'm completely wiped out- and the house is a total disaster. <br /><br />sadly, our weekend was not a time for recovery either... as we had to turn around on thursday and prepare for a family girl scout camping trip.<br /><br />all that aside- i love cy's costume, and OMG- yours & the rest of the party-goers!!torriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903591819503011886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-66753168619293914282012-11-05T15:16:35.847-08:002012-11-05T15:16:35.847-08:00Jody - I remember Penelope and Dick!

Yes, it seem...I really enjoyed your Halloween blog. Yes, it seems as if everything is always so ramped up for kids growing up these days, whether it be with school, sports activities or Halloween. I remember having a plastic costume with a sweaty plastic mask chosen in aisle 2 of the supermarket when I was a kid, trick-or-treating around the neighborhood, eating candy for two days and it was a done deal. Yes, I saw the hoochie mama costumes. Halloween has grown into this sort of perverse holiday with so many sex and even s & m overtones, especially with many of the adult female costumes. It is, still, however, nice for our kids to go round this neighborhood.<br /><br />I had a candy hangover this morning. That stuff is poisonous. I am trying not to sucumb to a second day of milky way bars. I hope I hang on!<br /><br />Ramblings from K...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5901268365510893153.post-82498199732424680822012-11-02T13:29:17.393-07:002012-11-02T13:29:17.393-07:00I loved the Lisbeth costume and Cy's!
