Dilemma:
Mommy could care less about Halloween. Daddy thinks it's fun.
Solution:
Costumes were created out of what we had around the house, and the kids went Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood with Mike and our neighbor Mark
(who got roped into helping wrangle four excited kids... in the dark).
I stayed home and watched football.
Everyone was happy.
(No, really, they were excited! But as everyone knows, pirates and indian princesses don't smile,
Davy Crockett has to look fierce, and fighter pilots only look really cool if they have their visors down.)
